D~SCRIP~ION OF PREFERR~D EM3ODIMEN'~S
The machine shown in the drawing of Figure 1 is mounted -on a frame 1 composed essentially of steel sectional bars aæsembled so as to present the machine to the user at a heigh-t suitable ~or its manipulation.
~his machine is divided into two parts; a ~ixed member 2, anchored by an iron band or any other equivalent means to the frame 1, and a movable member 3 sliding along an axis symbolized by the double-headed arrow ~
The member 2 is ~ixed at one of its ends to the frame 1 and is composed of a plate 4 on which are welded the lower jaws 5a and 6a of two sets aligned on an axis at right angles to -the plane of longitudinal symmetry of the machine. ~he upper jaws 5b and 6b of tne~e sets are pivoted by association with a li~ting arm 7 driven by a to-and-fro movement (arrow Gl) caused by means of a vertioal j~ck 8a. Th~ sur~ces of the ~ 4 ;
~l~L3C~
jaws designed to be in con-tact are ribbed in order to obtain a better grip on the object engaged between them.
As for the member 3, it slides as indicated by the arrow ~ on two paralle~ guide rails 9a and 9b, tubular in shape and extending horizontally over the whole length of the frame 15 This member 3 comprises a carriage lOa contained laterally by a rectangular flange lOb and by a pro~iled support part lOc with two angle arms. ~he flange lOb and the suppor-t part lOc are connected by a ~ylindrical cross~rod 9c traversing from side-to-side the carriage lOa which has the same profile as the part lOc. It will be noted that the lower portion of the three elements lOa, lOb, lOc, is doubly per~orated to permit the passage of the two rails 9a, 9b, and thus contribu-te to the stability of the whole of the m0mber 3 moving over said rails. Advantageously, the bushings 11 equip -the openings formed in the various elements to reduce the intensity o~ the frictional forces. The horizon-tal wings o~ the elements lOa and lOc carry jaws, 12a, 13a respectively, ~or the carriage~ and 12c~ 13c for the support part, These jaws are identical with the preceding ones and the jaws 12c, 13c are driven by a to-and-fro movement (arrow G2) generated by means of a horizontal jack 8b ~ixed between the flange lOb and the carriage lOa. In fact, when the jack 8b is actuated, the latter moves the flange lOb with respect to the carriage lOa, or vice versa, and as this flange lOb is connected by the cross-rod 9c to the support part lOc, the manipulation o~ the jack 8b hence imposes the same movement on the support lOc and on the associated jaws 12b, 13b.
Tlo ensure the driving of the member 3 along the rails 9a, 9b, in a mo~ement portrayed, at the beginning of the - 5 ~
~3~
present desoription9 by the arrow ~ a jack 8c is arranged horizontally, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 39 so -that the body o~ thi~ jack is fixed with respect to the ~rame 1 and 90 that its head is supported on the vertical wing of the carriage lOa to which it is held by suitable fastening means. It will be understood from -this point that the movements of the head of the jack 8c de~ine tho~e o~ the member 3 along the rails 9a and 9b.
Of course, the arrangement of the movabla member 3 could be designed in a~y other manner known in itself, and notably as regards the position and the number o~ the rails and o~ the cross-members 7 to comply with the requirements of solidity and reliabllity. According to a particularly advantageous characteristio of the invention, the three jacks 8a7 8b, 8c are connected to a hydraulic center pro-grammed by means o~ two adjustable limit switches 14a and 14b, arranged in the path o~ the member 3 and more particularly of the carriage lOa, to carry out the ~ollowing operations.
In a first stage (~igure 2), the end o~ a foot or trotter 15 freed ~rom its hoof is engaged between the jaws 6a, 6b of the gripping member, and the skin o~ this foot, previously cut,between the jaw~ 13a and 13c. Obviouslyg the operation is similar for the two other sets of jaws 5a, 5b and 12a, 12b.
In a second stage (Figure 3)~ controlled by the user of the machine, the two jacks 8a, 8b are actuated to cause the closing of the jaws in order to imprison the bone and the skin of the feet. Then, once the jaws are closed, the jack 8c is aotuated automatically, causing -the movement o~ the carriaga lOa in the directlon indicated by the arrow Flg ~L3~9~a thus detaching the skin from the bone.
In a third stage~ the carriage lOa hits the switch 14a positioned along the length of the processed foot.
The extraction member 3 is stopped, the jaws open, releasing the skin and -the bone which can be manually removed.
In a fourth and last stage, the extraction member
Boning machines have already been propo~ed ior parts such as chicken thighs, including a sliding carriage bearing ~aws designed to close on the bone to be ~xtracted~ the immobilization of the non-extracted portion, namely the meat, being effected by abutment against a plate provided with a passage slot for the bony portion.

The machine shown in the drawing of Figure 1 is mounted -on a frame 1 composed essentially of steel sectional bars aæsembled so as to present the machine to the user at a heigh-t suitable ~or its manipulation.
~his machine is divided into two parts; a ~ixed member 2, anchored by an iron band or any other equivalent means to the frame 1, and a movable member 3 sliding along an axis symbolized by the double-headed arrow ~
The member 2 is ~ixed at one of its ends to the frame 1 and is composed of a plate 4 on which are welded the lower jaws 5a and 6a of two sets aligned on an axis at right angles to -the plane of longitudinal symmetry of the machine. ~he upper jaws 5b and 6b of tne~e sets are pivoted by association with a li~ting arm 7 driven by a to-and-fro movement (arrow Gl) caused by means of a vertioal j~ck 8a.

jaws designed to be in con-tact are ribbed in order to obtain a better grip on the object engaged between them.
As for the member 3, it slides as indicated by the arrow ~ on two paralle~ guide rails 9a and 9b, tubular in shape and extending horizontally over the whole length of the frame 15 This member 3 comprises a carriage lOa contained laterally by a rectangular flange lOb and by a pro~iled support part lOc with two angle arms. ~he flange lOb and the suppor-t part lOc are connected by a ~ylindrical cross~rod 9c traversing from side-to-side the carriage lOa which has the same profile as the part lOc. It will be noted that the lower portion of the three elements lOa, lOb, lOc, is doubly per~orated to permit the passage of the two rails 9a, 9b, and thus contribu-te to the stability of the whole of the m0mber 3 moving over said rails. Advantageously, the bushings 11 equip -the openings formed in the various elements to reduce the intensity o~ the frictional forces. The horizon-tal wings o~ the elements lOa and lOc carry jaws, 12a, 13a respectively, ~or the carriage~ and 12c~ 13c for the support part, These jaws are identical with the preceding ones and the jaws 12c, 13c are driven by a to-and-fro movement (arrow G2) generated by means of a horizontal jack 8b ~ixed between the flange lOb and the carriage lOa. In fact, when the jack 8b is actuated, the latter moves the flange lOb with respect to the carriage lOa, or vice versa, and as this flange lOb is connected by the cross-rod 9c to the support part lOc, the manipulation o~ the jack 8b hence imposes the same movement on the support lOc and on the associated jaws 12b, 13b.
Tlo ensure the driving of the member 3 along the rails 9a, 9b, in a mo~ement portrayed, at the beginning of the - 5 ~
~3~
present desoription9 by the arrow ~ a jack 8c is arranged horizontally, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 39 so -that the body o~ thi~ jack is fixed with respect to the ~rame 1 and 90 that its head is supported on the vertical wing of the carriage lOa to which it is held by suitable fastening means. It will be understood from -this point that the movements of the head of the jack 8c de~ine tho~e o~ the member 3 along the rails 9a and 9b.
Of course, the arrangement of the movabla member 3 could be designed in a~y other manner known in itself, and notably as regards the position and the number o~ the rails and o~ the cross-members 7 to comply with the requirements of solidity and reliabllity. According to a particularly advantageous characteristio of the invention, the three jacks 8a7 8b, 8c are connected to a hydraulic center pro-grammed by means o~ two adjustable limit switches 14a and 14b, arranged in the path o~ the member 3 and more particularly of the carriage lOa, to carry out the ~ollowing operations.
In a first stage (~igure 2), the end o~ a foot or trotter 15 freed ~rom its hoof is engaged between the jaws 6a, 6b of the gripping member, and the skin o~ this foot, previously cut,between the jaw~ 13a and 13c. Obviouslyg the operation is similar for the two other sets of jaws 5a, 5b and 12a, 12b.
In a second stage (Figure 3)~ controlled by the user of the machine, the two jacks 8a, 8b are actuated to cause the closing of the jaws in order to imprison the bone and the skin of the feet. Then, once the jaws are closed, the jack 8c is aotuated automatically, causing -the movement o~ the carriaga lOa in the directlon indicated by the arrow Flg ~L3~9~a thus detaching the skin from the bone.
In a third stage~ the carriage lOa hits the switch 14a positioned along the length of the processed foot.
The extraction member 3 is stopped, the jaws open, releasing the skin and -the bone which can be manually removed.
In a fourth and last stage, the extraction member
3 comes back to its starting position determined by the location of the switch 14b.
To increase the conditions of operational sa~e-ty of such a machine, Applicant has installed an accessory 16, illustrated in ~igure 4, and designed to ejeot the skin when the jaws of the extraction member 3 are opened.
~ his accessory 16 includes a plate 17 o~ parallele-pipedic shape mounted on an axle 18 rotated in a bearing-support 19, fast to the carriatge 17 by meansof a motor20 also connected to the programmed hydraulic center.
Thus, when the jaws of the extraction member 3 are opened, the motor 20 is actuated~ rota-ting the plate 17 (in the direction indicated by the arrow R) which, by means of flexible strips 21a and 21b fixed on its two surfaces, enables the skin adharing to the jaws to be disengaged from said member.
In the drawing of Figure 5, another embodimen-t of the invention is shown~ This machine also comprises a fixed gripping memher 2' ~ast to the carriage (not shown), and a movabla extraction member 3'.
The mer.1ber 2' is constituted b~v a circular horizontal platform 4' defining the general bulk of the machine and a set of jaws 5' fast to this platform and whose articulated jaw is moved over an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ~3L39~
platform 4'0 The member 3l is constituted by an arm 22 hinged around an axle arranged at right angles to said platform to describe a circular path illustrated by the arrow I.
This arm 22 is provided at its outer end with a set o~ jaws 23a~ 23b, arranged by means of a hinged arm 24 to be opened and closed as shown by the arrow J.
The operation of this machine being identical with that of the preceding one; it is consequently, unnecessary to recall thereof the various operating stages.
Re~erence is now made to Figure 6.
At the end of a table 25 forming the oarriage, a fixed gripping member 26 is mounted, holding the bone portion of the end o~ a cow foot 27 between ~aws 28a and 28b, o~ which one is ensured of a to-and-fro movement~ along the arrow V, by a jack 29.
~he movable extraction member 30 includes a cylinder 31 driven with a rotary motion around its axis, along the arrow R, by motor means (not shown). The end of the cylinder 31 bears a pair of iaws 32a, 32b pivoted on tha end o~ the cylinder and which ~eize the skin. When the cylinder 31 rotates the skin is detached along the foot and is wound around the pair of jaws 32a, 32b. The jaws can be opened in pincer fashion, the ends being opened under the effect of an axial ~oroe, by means of control members sliding inside the cylinder.
The cylinder 31 can also be borne, with its drive me~ns, by a carriage (not shown) similar to the carriage 3 and moved parallel to the table 25, along the arrow F, which enables, during the whole of the winding, the orientation of the skin-stripping ~orce in a vertical direction.
To increase the conditions of operational sa~e-ty of such a machine, Applicant has installed an accessory 16, illustrated in ~igure 4, and designed to ejeot the skin when the jaws of the extraction member 3 are opened.
~ his accessory 16 includes a plate 17 o~ parallele-pipedic shape mounted on an axle 18 rotated in a bearing-support 19, fast to the carriatge 17 by meansof a motor20 also connected to the programmed hydraulic center.
Thus, when the jaws of the extraction member 3 are opened, the motor 20 is actuated~ rota-ting the plate 17 (in the direction indicated by the arrow R) which, by means of flexible strips 21a and 21b fixed on its two surfaces, enables the skin adharing to the jaws to be disengaged from said member.
In the drawing of Figure 5, another embodimen-t of the invention is shown~ This machine also comprises a fixed gripping memher 2' ~ast to the carriage (not shown), and a movabla extraction member 3'.
The mer.1ber 2' is constituted b~v a circular horizontal platform 4' defining the general bulk of the machine and a set of jaws 5' fast to this platform and whose articulated jaw is moved over an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ~3L39~
platform 4'0 The member 3l is constituted by an arm 22 hinged around an axle arranged at right angles to said platform to describe a circular path illustrated by the arrow I.
This arm 22 is provided at its outer end with a set o~ jaws 23a~ 23b, arranged by means of a hinged arm 24 to be opened and closed as shown by the arrow J.
The operation of this machine being identical with that of the preceding one; it is consequently, unnecessary to recall thereof the various operating stages.
Re~erence is now made to Figure 6.
At the end of a table 25 forming the oarriage, a fixed gripping member 26 is mounted, holding the bone portion of the end o~ a cow foot 27 between ~aws 28a and 28b, o~ which one is ensured of a to-and-fro movement~ along the arrow V, by a jack 29.
~he movable extraction member 30 includes a cylinder 31 driven with a rotary motion around its axis, along the arrow R, by motor means (not shown). The end of the cylinder 31 bears a pair of iaws 32a, 32b pivoted on tha end o~ the cylinder and which ~eize the skin. When the cylinder 31 rotates the skin is detached along the foot and is wound around the pair of jaws 32a, 32b. The jaws can be opened in pincer fashion, the ends being opened under the effect of an axial ~oroe, by means of control members sliding inside the cylinder.
The cylinder 31 can also be borne, with its drive me~ns, by a carriage (not shown) similar to the carriage 3 and moved parallel to the table 25, along the arrow F, which enables, during the whole of the winding, the orientation of the skin-stripping ~orce in a vertical direction.
