<p>An apparatus for removing the legs from the back portion of poultry includes a processing station [13] for use with an overhead conveyor from which the birds are suspended by their legs. The processing station [13] has a V-shaped guide plate [12] for receiving the back portion of a bird and means for advancing and gripping the bird. The advancing and gripping means comprises a chain [16] with outwardly projecting pins [17] extending about chain wheels [14, 15]. The gripping and advancing means accelerate the back portion of the bird relative to the legs, and after cutting and scoring by cutters [19, 25, 31], the back portion is torn from the legs to leave the "oysters" attached to the legs.</p> |
