Abstract: A method and an apparatus for separating thigh meat and oyster meat from the thighbone can automatically separate thigh meat and oyster meat without detecting the boundary of the white cap at an end of the thighbone and the meat including thigh meat and oyster meat. The apparatus includes a cutter that is inserted into the detected boundary part in the final operation of deboning a thigh-with-bone of an edible beast and bird. The apparatus has a clamper, a guide-with-a-groove device, and a guide-with-a-cutter device downstream of the guide-with-a-groove device provided on the transfer line of the clamper. Both guide devices are provided such that the open end side of each guide device, which is Y-shaped is directed toward upstream of transfer of the clamper.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for separating thigh meat and oyster meat from the thighbone automatically without detecting the boundary of the white cap at an end of the thigh bone and the meat including thigh meat and oyster meat and inserting a cutter into the detected boundary part in the final operation of deboning a thigh-with-bone of an edible beast and bird. The apparatus of the invention for separating thigh meat and oyster meat is composed of a damper 15, a Y-shaped guide-with-a-groove 20, and a Y-shaped guide-with-a-cutter 16 downstream of the guide 20 provided on the transfer line of the clamper, both guides being provided such that the open end side of Y-shape of each guide is directed toward upstream of transfer of the clamper.

Abstract: An automatic boning system of the upper half of a slaughtered fowl is provided, in which the number of processing steps is decreased, integrated control using cams is adopted instead of individual control of prior art using hydraulic actuators, and an improvement in yield is achieved. The automatic boning system of the upper half of a slaughtered fowl comprises a main intermittently stepwise feeding section (11), a group of eight stations, and a cam mechanism (14). The main intermittently stepwise feeding section (11) comprises a rotary disk (12) which is rotated intermittently stepwise at an angle of 45° by means of a stepwise driving device (12a),and eight attachment cones 13 located on the peripheral part of the disk 12 at a spacing of angle of 45°.
