Abstract: Previously eviscerated poultry carcasses with wings and saddle removed are moved on a series of carcass carriers (20) along a processing path with protrusions (32, 33) extending into the wing sockets of the carcass to hold the carcass on the carrier. A series of meat removing implements (46, 47, 60, 61, 62, 96, 116, 118 and 119) separate the meat from the skeletal structures of the carcass as the carcasses are moved along the processing path.

Abstract: A device for cutting slaughtered poultry in separate pieces. A bird is held by at least one radial processing device which is movable on a frame by a driving device which is provided with a processing arm, at the side facing the frame being provided with an adjustment mechanism which can reorient the processing device during the movement of the arm in a number of various positions of rotation with respect to the arm and a blocking mechanism which can fix the processing device in said positions of rotation, with a deblocking mechanism for unlocking the processing device, and said processing arm at the side facing away from the frame being provided with a stretching mechanism for holding the bird.
