Patent number: 9095150Abstract: Techniques and devices are described for preparing a fish fillet. The techniques and devices facilitate the removal of the skin and/or rib bones of the fish from the meat that forms the fillet. In embodiments, the techniques employ a fish skinning device that includes a roller and a blade. The roller is configured to contact the skin included on a fillet so that rotation of the roller causes the fillet to be directed toward the blade. The roller and blade are configured so the skin passes between the roller and blade and is generally separated and directed away from the meat. A blade float assembly permits the blade to float with respect to the blade during use to receive the skin or rib bones of the fish fillet between the roller and the blade.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Ultimate Fishing Gear, Inc.Inventors: Chris Kielian, Brian Kielian, Perry Parks, Eric Parks

Publication number: 20100279592Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fish scaling drill tool for scaling fish. The fish scaling drill tool comprises of a fish scaling drill bit that is used with a drill. The fish scaling drill bit cannot be used with a drill that spins more than five hundred revolutions per minute.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2009Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventor: Tomas Castaneda

Publication number: 20030143939Abstract: The present invention are powered devices for removing scales from fish. A scaling element consisting of three or more blunt edged radial arms are provided with a shaft. The shaft is secured to, or configured to be retained by, a battery powered portable drive. The drive imparts a rotation motion to the scaling element which is pressed to the skin of a fish in operation. The drive may be a portable battery powered consumer drill. The blunt edges provide safety from accidental contact with the user. The invention provides a low cost and safe method of scaling fish.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2003Publication date: July 31, 2003Inventors: James Barlow, E. Carol Barlow

Patent number: 6497615Abstract: A fish scaling tool with a scaling portion and a shank for removable insertion into the chuck of rotary drive device. The cylindrical scaling portion has pointed ridges which spiral (with a slight pitch) around the longitudinal axis of the shank. Equally-spaced longitudinal grooves in the scaling portion provide device for removing scales. Secondary cutting surfaces are provided by equally-spaced longitudinal notches in the scaling portion. A cup-shaped splash guard for deflecting detached scales and water can be attached to the shank of the tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Inventor: Gene Klager

Patent number: 5813904Abstract: Disclosed is an improved method and apparatus for removing tough, inedible skin and underlying fat from a frozen fish such as tuna, marlin, shark, and swordfish. The apparatus includes a high speed, contoured rotary cutter disposed in a housing with a tailored aperture through which is exposed a limited sector portion of the cutter. The apparatus is manually applied to the frozen fish and traversed across the fish in a series of passes to effectively and efficiently denude the fish of substantially all of the skin and fat. A depth of cut guide precludes burrowing of the cutter into the comestible flesh thereby maintaining high yield.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1996Date of Patent: September 29, 1998Assignee: Aslanis Seafoods, Inc.Inventors: Konstantinos Aslanis, Thomas Joseph Parenteau, James Robert Dawson

Patent number: 5630750Abstract: A cordless, rechargeable, fish scaler assembly is provided. The scaler has a substantially cylindrical main body with a handle portion and a scaler portion. The scaler portion includes a scale guard which is rigidly connected to the handle portion and a plurality of longitudinally extending blades supported by a shall which is rotatably connected to the handle portion. The blades are partially enclosed within a cylindrical housing which operates to create a hollow space about the shaft thereby enhancing buoyancy of the scaler. The handle portion contains a rechargeable battery pack and also has a hollow portion to enhance buoyancy. The assembly includes at least two types of battery charging systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1996Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Inventor: Michael E. Byrd

Patent number: 5318472Abstract: A fish scaling device which is characterized by a flat support designed to receive a fish for scaling, a tail clamp adjustably mounted on one end of the support for clamping the tail of the fish to the support and a head clamp located at the opposite end of the support for immobilizing the head of the fish. In a preferred embodiment a scaling device which includes an electric motor, to which is attached a scaling tool, is used for scaling the fish. In another preferred embodiment a transparent cover is fitted over the support and the fish to be scaled and a slot is provided in a scaling panel hinged to the support, such that the scaler can be moved from side-to-side along the support to scale the fish when the cover is used to prevent scattering of the scales.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1992Date of Patent: June 7, 1994Inventor: Israel C. Johnson

Patent number: 5221229Abstract: A tool for scaling fish includes a handle with a shaft rotatably mounted to the handle and projecting therefrom. A generally cylindrical scaling head is engaged on the shaft and rotated at a high speed. The scaling head has a circular array of relatively wide ribs spaced around its periphery and extending the length of the head. Each rib has a substantially flat top wall and flat angled sidewalls so as to form relatively sharp parallel wedge-shaped corners at the tops of the ribs. When the tool head is brought into contact with a fish, the moving ribs strip away the fish scales efficiently and effectively without damaging the underlying flesh of the fish.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1991Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Inventor: Neil Brophy

Patent number: 5135430Abstract: The invention relates to a depilation apparatus, in which a driving roller (3) and a drive roller (4) are provided with tooth means (5, 6) and form a roller pair, the rollers performing a rotary movement which is directed into the interior of the apparatus at the location where they interengage circumferentially. The driven roller (4) of each roller pair has teeth (5) along its entire circumference but the driving roller (3) has teeth only along part of its circumference, so that the rollers intermesh only during part of a revolution of the driving roller.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1991Date of Patent: August 4, 1992Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Hermann Jordan, Gunther Schmid
