Abstract: A support hook for moving meat, more specifically for pieces or cubes of bacon/belly during the processing and/or curing thereof includes a framework and a plurality of tips. The plurality of tips are integral with the respective framework via respective heads arranged on both sides and the holes of the framework such that each tip can be inserted and interchanged even at a later time, if any tip should be broken or chipped. This type of hook is generally called comb or bacon comb.

Abstract: A support hook for moving meat, more specifically for pieces or cubes of bacon/belly during the processing and/or curing thereof. This type of hook is generally called comb or bacon comb. The hook (100, 200) includes a framework (101, 201) and a plurality of tips (102, 202). The plurality of tips (102) are integral with the respective framework (101, 201) via respective heads (109, 110) and (209, 210) arranged on both sides and the holes (106, 206) of the framework (101, 201). Each tip (102, 202) can thus be inserted and interchanged even at a later time, if it should be broken or chipped.
