2. Description of Prior Art It is a well known problem in the art that the skinnin~ of double fillets in known skinning machines and devices for fish fillets raise various difficulties which render such devices and machines little suitable for double fillet skinning. First of all, there is the danger of the skin tearing on the sides of the strip connecting the two fillets and containing the back fins and their fin holders, so that skin remnants or patches will remain on the fillets. On the other hand, the destruction of the back fins, their fin holders, or the fat strips adjacent the fins affected bv the co-action of the conveying surface and the skinning tool may cause a contamination of the skinned fillets which in most cases can either not be removed at all or at least only be eliminated partiall~. To overcome these difficulties the skinning of double fillets of herrings which have been pre-treated by herbes, picklPd or salted ~- as well as o~ mackerels is normall~ performed manually.

According to the invention this object is achi2ved in a skinninc3 device com~rising a c~nvevinq surace or tne skin sides o-f the ~ouble filets an~ a s];inning -tool arranged at a small distance froin said conveving surface by the improvement that th~ skinning tool comprises two skinning knives which include between them a passac3e -for the back fins and the fin holders of th~ hack fins, this passage being arranyed centrically witn respect to the conveying surface.
One of the main advantages achieved bv the invention is that in skinning double fillets the skin may be separated from the fillets without beinc3 damaged, w~nile, at the same time, avoiding any damage of. the back ins, of their fin holders, and/or of the fat strips present on both sides of the back fins. Thus, it is e.g. rendered possible to produce ~kinned herb Eillets o high quality.
Acaording to a preferred embodiment of the invention the conveying surEace is plane in region of the skinning ~ ~ knives and the skinning knives may comprise cutting edges 1l ; 25 extending outwardly from their starting points delimiting the passage, these cutting edges including between them . an angle opening in the conveying direction oE the ,. . .

conveying surface. This arranyement e~les a skinning of double fillets without damaging the s~in, since the skinninq proc~dure mav be perforl~ed starting from the head end on both sides of the strip containin~ the back Eins, 'he skin being held tight transversely of the conveying direction during the skinni~y process.
Preferably there mav be provided guide rails at a small distance from the conveying surface, these guide rails ext~nding from the staxting points of the skinniny knives in the conveying diraction and parallellv to the latter.
~i Such guide rails serve to improve the safe-ty oE
the skinning process; by guiding the strip containing the back fins and assisting to avoid unsymmetrical stressing of the skin during the skinning process.
According to an expedient embodiment of the invention a pair of guide bars may be provided at a small distance from the conveying surface and extending from the starting points of the skinning knives in the opposite direction of .:
the conveying direction and parallelIy to the latter. These ~gu-ide bars, too, serve to increase the safety of the skinning process by holding the double fillet in a position suitable for skinning well before reaching the points of the sklnning knives or at least b~ bringing the do~ble fi~llets lnto such position~
25 ~ Preferably, the guide bars comprise cutting edqes faclng the conveying surface. It i5 thus rendered possible ; ;to increase the safety of the skinning process of double 3` -. ' . ~ ' .'- ''. ' ., - ' ~097(~0 fillets considerably hy 3?reparing -the separation o~ the fillets from the skin along the back for the pene-tration c,f the points or tips of the skinning knives.
Advantageously the guide bars may include be-tween t:hem a slot, and in the region in front of the points of the skinning knives may b~ provided with scraping tools facing away from that slot. Such an arrangement enables the production of skinned fillets of an annropriate quality in certain cases in so far as a separation o the back sides of the fillets from the fat strips remaining on the skin may be performed before the skinning takes place.
In order to enable an additional support or conveyance of the double fillet before, during, or after the completion of the skinning process there may be arranged one endless presser belt each moving synchro-nously with said conveying surface on either side of the passage or the slot.
If it is an aim to feed douhle fillets to a a skinning device directly and process them therein in a very practical manner by maintaining their normal position when leaving a filleting machine, the conveying surface may be arranged above the skinning knlves, while the presser belts can be provided underneath the skinning knives.
To this end, the conveying surface may be formed by , the lower run of an endless conveyor belt turning downwardly ,1 ~ _ 4 _ 97(1~0 by means of a deElection roller. Thus, a conveying surface is achieved which guarantees a safe conve~ing even of double fillets having a very thin and delicate skin throughout the whole skinning procedure.
The presser belts and their deflection rollers may reach beyond the deflection rollers of the conveyor belts in a direction opposite to the conveying direction in order to enable a feeding of the double fillets to the conveying surface by means of the presser belts.
Preferably, protruding ends of the guide bars may extend beyond the deflection rollers of the presser belts in a direction opposite to the conveying direction and comprise downwardly directed saddle faces which are inclined with respect to each other. This facilitates a manual or automatical feeding of pre-treated double i fillets, e.g. of double fillets having been herb-treated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBoDIrlENTs In a frame (not shown) there are arranged a deflection roller 13 and a driving roller 14 of an endless conveyor ; belt, which is driven to turn continuously by appropriate drive means (not shown) and which has an upper run the upwardly facing side of which forms a conveying surface 11.
This conveying surface 11 is moved in an essentially horizontal conveying direction 12. At least the outer face of the conveying surface 11 consists of caoutchouc, synthetic rubber or an elastomeric material and is provided with burls or any other suitable roughening.
; 20 A left skinning knife 21 and a right skinning knife 25 are arranged at a distance of tenths of millimetres above the conveying surface 11 and in such a manner that between th~m a passage lying exactly in the conveying direction 12 is formed essentially in the middle of the conveying surface 11. The two skinning knives 21 and 25 are arranged in a symmetrical manner and have the shape of trian~les. Each of the :
~:~97(~0 skinnin~ knives 21 and 25 is pxoviclecl with a starting point or tip 22 resp. 26 lying on the side of the passage 24 and beinq directed opposite to, i.e. upstream t:he conveving direction 12. Also, each of the skinning knives has a cutting edge 23 resp. 27 extending outwardlY
from the point 22 resp. 26 and forming the hvpotenuse of the triangle. The two cutting edges 23 and 27 include between them an acute angle 28. Along their edges on the sides of the passage 24 the skinning knives 21 and 25 carry a small rail extending upwardly in a vertical direction towards the conveying surface 11 and forming a guide rail 31 resp. 32. These two guide rails 31 and 32 include between them a slot 33 and each comprise a protrusion extending be~ond the conveying surface 11 in an opposite direction to the conveying direction 12 and starting from the point 22 resp. 26, this protrusion being shaped as a guide bar 34 resp. 37. The guide bars 34 and 37 each have a feeding or intake end (not specifically ~ designated) with an intake edge approaching the conveying ; 20 surface 11 at an acute anglel while downstream this intake end a cutting edge 35 resp. 38 is arranged closely above the conveying surface 11. From each of the cutting edges 35 resp. 38 there is extending an outwardly facing scraping kni~e 36 resp. 39 upstream the point 22 resp. 26.
Above the skinning knives 21 and 25 there is arranged one presser belt 4 resp. S each extending from the ends ~- of the guide bars 34 and 37 to the ends of the guide rails :`~
' .
~C~7(1110 31 and 32 arranged in the conveying direction 12, the lower runs of the presser belts 4 and 5 moving synchronously with the conveying surface 11.
The function of the skinning device is as follows:
A double fillet is placed with its skin side on the conveying surface 11 in such a manner that its fin strip formed by the back fins and their fin holders may enter between the two guide bars 34 and 37. These will then guide the fin strip as sh~wn in Fig. 2. Upon further advance of the double fillet the scraping knives 36 and 39 according to their respective shape penetrate either between the fin strip and the back of the two fillets or between the respective at strip of each fillet and the back to the skin and thus separate the fillets from the skin in the region of the back. This step is partially shown with a double fillet in Fig. 3. The skin of the ; double fillets is pressed firmly against the conveying surface 11 by the cutting edges 35 and 38 resp. the scraping ; 20 knives 36 and 39 so that the double fillet will be transported slip-free by the conveying surface 11 and may thus also be conveyed in the region of the skinning knives 21 and 25. While the skin of the double ~illet is tightly held in a position against the conveylng surfaae 11 the skinning knives 21 and 25 peel off the fillets from the skin while the latter is also being tightly stretched .,..... ,. ~ :

To avoid sli~ping o the skin of the do~hle fillets on the conveying surface 11 the upper run of the conveyor belt for~ing the conveving surface 11 is supported by a rigid support (not shown), which is arranged at least in the region of the skinning knives.
In the embodiment of a skinning device as shown in Fig. 5 the guide rails 31 and 32 as well as the guide bars 34 and 37 do not extend upwardly but downwardly and away from the conveying surface 11 lying closely above the skinning knives 2i and 25 and beins formed by the lower run of the conveyor belt. The presser belts 4 and 5 are arranged beneath the skinning knives 21 and 25 and are deflected about one deflecting roller 42 resp. 52 each at the ends of the skinning knives and about one deflection roller 41 resp. 51 at their feed-in ends. The presser belts 4 and 5 are longer than the conveyor belt 15 forming the conveying surface 11 and with their deflection rollers 41 and 51 ` 20 extend beyond the deflection roller 13 of the conveyor belt 15. The guide bars 34 and 37 facing downwardly protrude beyond the de~lection rollers 41 and 51 50 that they enable a placing of the double fillets on their protruding ends 61 and 62, which form a roof-like saddle. A double fillet is placed on the protruding ends 61 and 62 with its flesh side and pushed forwardly into the region of the pres~er ;` belts 4 and 5 until it is seized by these and pushed towards the conveying surface 11 riding on the upper edges .
