<p>The present invention relates to an apparatus for electrically stunning slaughter cattle, in particular horned cattle such as horned sheep. The apparatus having a set of electrodes mounted at the outer ends of levers which can extend into a passage between endless conveyor belts in a forward, inward and rearward direction. The electrodes preferably are pivotably mounted at the outer ends of the levers, by means of transverse pivot shafts or selfcentering resilient universal joints. An arrangement is provided to swing the electrodes out of the passage, which arrangement can be formed by a cylinder or by mounting the levers upon a shaft which can be rotated and carry the plurality of levers with electrodes, or by using endless chains carrying a plurality of levers with electrodes, which chains can be driven in the direction of movement of the conveyor belts.</p> |
