Abstract: Clamp (1) for clamping a cord in tension, in which the clamp comprises a U-shaped elongate frame (2) with an elongate recess and an elongate clamping body (3) which is connected to the frame and extends in the recess of the frame, in which—a cord duct (11) is formed in the recess between the clamping body and a clamping surface (10) of the frame, the clamping body is configured to be carried along by a cord passed through the cord duct, in which the distance between the clamping body and the clamping surface decreases when the clamping body is moved, the clamping body has a widened part (7) at one end and in which a hinge (4) is provided between the legs (6a, 6b) of the frame and the widened part of the clamping body, the axis of rotation of which extends at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the frame.

Abstract: Provided is a seal for sealing the esophagus of a slaughtered animal such as a cow, the constituent parts of such a seal and a device and a method for sealing the esophagus of a slaughtered animal, such as a cow, by arranging such a seal. The seal comprises a cylindrical body which can be placed in the esophagus and is provided with a cylindrical peripheral wall with an end wall, a clamping element which can be displaced to a clamping position relative to the body for clamping oesophageal tissue between at least a part of the clamping element and the cylindrical body, thus fixing the seal in the esophagus and thereby sealing the esophagus, wherein the peripheral wall encloses a receiving space and is provided with an opening through which oesophageal tissue can be carried into the receiving space and is there clamped fixedly by the clamping element.

Abstract: Provided is a seal for sealing the oesophagus of a slaughtered animal such as a cow, the constituent parts of such a seal and a device and a method for sealing the oesophagus of a slaughtered animal, such as a cow, by arranging such a seal. The seal comprises a cylindrical body which can be placed in the oesophagus and is provided with a cylindrical peripheral wall with an end wall, a clamping element which can be displaced to a clamping position relative to the body for clamping oesophageal tissue between at least a part of the clamping element and the cylindrical body, thus fixing the seal in the oesophagus and thereby sealing the oesophagus, wherein the peripheral wall encloses a receiving space and is provided with an opening through which oesophageal tissue can be carried into the receiving space and is there clamped fixedly by the clamping element.
