Abstract: Poultry processing apparatus is disclosed for automatically performing shoulder-wing separation and severing cuts, short transverse shoulder cuts and long back cuts in the rib cage breast meat of a poultry carcass preparatory to removal of the wings and breast meat from the carcass. The apparatus includes a conveyor having a series of carcass support cones sequentially moveable along a predetermined path of travel. Combination shoulder-wing joint locating and separating members cooperate with C-shaped cutters pivotally thereon to define scissors mechanism located at a fixed position along the conveyor path to displace each wing bone from its respective shoulder socket and to then sever respective connective shoulder muscle and tendons while at the same time performing the short shoulder cuts in the carcass breast meat.
