Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus for deboning animal extremities, such as poultry wings. The apparatus comprises means for transporting the extremity; means for cutting the bones of said extremity in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axes; and means for removing bones from said extremity in the direction of said axes. The bones may be separated from the meat by retaining the meat while pulling or pushing the cut bones therefrom. For deboning poultry wings, the apparatus preferably comprises two cutting discs or blades that cut the wing on either side of the joint to allow the joint to be disposed and the remainder deboned by removing the bones therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method with the following working steps:holding the limb (1) to be boned;severing the center joint (3), including the tendons adhering thereto;severing the end joint portion (5) and/or the end portion (6), including the tendons adhering thereto;clamping the limb (1) between a first pressure plate (10) and a second pressure plate (11),pressing the meat of the limb (1) between the pressure plates (10, 11) and partly pushing out the at least one bone (7, 8, 9) through the pressure plate; andejecting the at least one bone (7, 8, 9) with the aid of a pushing means (12, 13, 14).
