Abstract: A device for removing feathers from game fowl and poultry comprising a rotor including a hub disposed with its axis extending generally horizontally and a multiplicity of resilient feather removing fingers extending generally radially outwardly from said hub in annularly and axially spaced relation with respect to one another. A feather catching housing is provided in operative relation with the rotor which includes a front wall structure providing (1) exterior cover for an upper and rearward portion of the rotor, (2) exterior access to a lower and forward portion thereof, (3) a finger passage for the lower portion of the rotor, and (4) a feather receiving opening extending downwardly from said finger passage, and vertical walls providing a feather enclosure and a multiplicity of air openings. A band at the lower end of the feather enclosure serves to operatively connect the open upper end of a feather catching bag in operative relation rearwardly and below the feather receiving opening.

Abstract: A nestable and stackable container assembly including a nestable container body molded of plastic material and a pair of bail structures also molded of plastic material pivotally mounted on the end walls of the container body for movement between nesting positions permitting a plurality of like container assemblies to nest one within another and stacking positions enabling a plurality of like containers to stack one on top of the other, the end walls and bail structures being constructed to provide strength and support when stacked without providing excessive wall thicknesses or excessive reduction in nesting height or container capacity, the container body and bail structures having integrally formed cooperating rounded projections for yieldingly resisting movement of the bail structures out of either their stacking positions or nesting positions.
