Method and device for filleting killed and headless fish, the abdominal cavity of which is opened up
Patent number: 7090574Abstract: Certain farmed and/or breeding fish such as tilapia are filleted after the fish have been beheaded, slaughtered and had their ventral cavity opened. Cuts are made in the dorsal region and on the ventral side in the caudal region for exposing the dorsal spokes and ventral spokes, respectively. Then, separating cuts are made over the vertebral column connecting the dorsal and ventral cuts. Before peeling separation in the region of the ventral cavity, the ventral lobes are trimmed by separation of the ends of their ventral lobe portions projecting beyond the ribs. Peeling separation is completed by peeling cuts adapted to the rib contour and made with at least two degrees of freedom.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader GmbH + CO KGInventors: Horst Herbert Braeger, Wolfgang Möller, Dirk Schmüser -
Publication number: 20050236830Abstract: The invention relates to a ski clip, which is used to fasten ski poles (6a, 6b) to skis (7). In general the simultaneous transport of a pair of skis (7)and a pair of ski poles (6a, 6b) poses problems as the use of both hands is required. It is therefore difficult to simultaneously hold the skis (7), ski poles (6a, 6b) and other objects or to hold onto retaining bars in buses and gondolas when transporting skis (7). The disadvantage of attachments for solving said problem in prior art is that the ski pole holders have to be stored separately when not in use and in addition are inconvenient to use. The invention solves said problem by the permanent attachment of a fixing device (1a, 1b) to the ski pole (6a, 6h), whereby a forked clamping piece (5a, 5b) that can be folded out is fastened to said fixing device and a pair of skis (7) can be clamped between the limbs (9) of said piece.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2003Publication date: October 27, 2005Inventor: Wolfgang Moller

Patent number: 5871395Abstract: The invention concerns a method for deboning fish of the mackerel family such as the Thunnus genus, the scomboid type and the like, and an apparatus for performing this method. Fish of this family have belly spokes extending along the full length of the backbone into the area of the belly cavity, so that conventional cutting free of the back and belly spokes will lead to a separation of the ribs from the remaining bone structure. To allow an accurate filetting of mackerel fish with their specific bone structure in the ventral cavity region, the invention suggests a slice of fish meat including the ribs to be cut free automatically by providing a computer controlled tool including a knife with a cutting edge diverging with respect to the conveying path of the fish, and a supporting element, which in combination with the knife allows the ribs to be cut away progressively while respecting the anatomical characteristics of the fish.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1996Date of Patent: February 16, 1999Assignee: Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader GmbH & Co KGInventors: Thomas Grabau, Ulrich Gutte, Wolfgang Moller

-
Patent number: 5710132Abstract: The invention relates to the use of colostral milk or colostral milk preparations from the cow, or fractions containing immunoglobulin prepared therefrom, as a liver protective preparation for the prevention and treatment of liver function disturbances in liver diseases, especially for the prevention of the sequelae of these diseases, such as portal encephalopathy.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1996Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Biotest Pharma GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Moller, Reinhard Lissner, Dietrich Nitsche

Patent number: 5576040Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining sterile milk, wherein the calcium ion content is reduced preferably to half of the naturally occurring amount by means, for example, of ion exchange or dialysis, and the milk is then filtered sterile, and if desired calcium ions are added again to restore the natural content.The product thus obtained has all of the biological activities as well as virtually the original composition, but it is free of bacteria, fungi and spores and will keep for a longer time.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1994Date of Patent: November 19, 1996Assignee: Biotest Pharma GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Moller, Wolfgang Stephan, Henry Hies

Patent number: 5536205Abstract: An apparatus forming part of a filletting machine for removing meat from the skeleton of fish in the region of the ribs is described, through which the fish are conveyed with their tails leading and guided by guides which penetrate into cuts already performed for cutting free the belly and back spokes. The removal of meat from the ribs is performed by means of a tool, which comprises a scraping knife arranged on each side of the belly-cut guides and exending in a plane which forms an angle of between 10.degree. and 50.degree. with the guidance plane defined by the belly-cut and back-cut guides.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1995Date of Patent: July 16, 1996Assignee: Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader GmbH & Co KgInventors: Horst Braeger, Wolfgang Moller

Patent number: 5190752Abstract: An intravenously administrable polyclonal immunoglobulin preparation for the treatment and prophylaxis of bacterial infections containing at least 50% by weight of IgM in terms of the total content of immunoglobulin, exhibiting a low anticomplementary activity, being stable in aqueous solution, and being free of viruses. It can also consist of or also contain a mixture of several monoclonal IgM antibodies. The source material for its manufacture is an immunoglobulin-containing fraction of human, animal, or bacterial provenance. The fraction is treated with an anion exchanger that is eluted with a saline or pH gradient and the eluate is optionally subjected to gel filtration, treated before or after the chromatography with .beta.-propiolactone and PEG 4000, and optionally heated. Treatment with .beta.-propiolactone and ultraviolet light, treatment with solvents and detergents, or pasteurization can also be conducted. Proteins, sugars, or mixtures of amino acids are optionally added to the preparation.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1989Date of Patent: March 2, 1993Assignee: Biotest Pharma GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Moller, Hebert Dichtelmuller, Norbert Kothe, Dieter Rudnick, Detlef Piechaczek
