Rotate in the direction indicated by the double arrow in 5 (a), and receive the pair of left and right shoulders of the poultry carcass upper half 100 into the pair of left and right recesses 6g, between the neck and the pair of left and right shoulder joints A pair of left and right recesses 6g abut on the pair of left and right shoulders from above, and cooperate with the upper and lower support members 2 to prevent rotation of the upper half 100 of the poultry carcass about the vertical axis. The recess 6g formed in the outer peripheral portion of the rotating disk 6a that rotates in conjunction with the movement of the upper and lower support members 2 can be reliably engaged with the shoulder portion of the upper half 100 of the poultry carcass.
Three recesses 6g formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating disk 6a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction are sequentially brought into contact with the shoulders of the upper half portion 100 of the poultry carcass that arrives one after another. Rotation of the upper half 100 around the vertical axis is prevented. It is possible to continuously support the plurality of edible carcass upper halves 100 by one rotation of the rotating disk 6a, and the consumption of the rotating disk 6a is suppressed.
Since the concave portion 6g is a curved shape along the outer shape of the shoulder portion of the upper half of the poultry carcass, the length of the contact portion with the poultry carcass shoulder portion is large, and the rotation preventing function is excellent.
Since the forward movement of the vertical support member 2 and the rotation of the rotating disk 6a are simple movements, they can be accurately linked by the above-described mechanical interlocking mechanism.

回転円板6aの回転軸6dに固定された円板の外周縁部に周方向に互いに等間隔を隔てて3個のセンサードグ9aが固定されている。センサードグ9aと凹部6gとは周方向に互いに60度ずれて配設されている。最上位置にあるセンサードグ9aに正対して近接センサー9bが配設されている。回転円板6aの何れかの凹部6gが食鳥屠体100の肩部に上方から当接している時、前記凹部6gから周方向に180度隔たったセンサードグ9aが最上位置にあり、近接センサー9bが前記センサードグ9aの接近を検知し、ひいては回転円板6aの凹部6gが食鳥屠体上半部100の肩部に上方から当接して食鳥屠体上半部100の上下軸線回りの回転を防止していることを検知する。   Three sensor dogs 9a are fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the disk fixed to the rotating shaft 6d of the rotating disk 6a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The sensor dog 9a and the concave portion 6g are disposed so as to be shifted from each other by 60 degrees in the circumferential direction. A proximity sensor 9b is disposed directly opposite the sensor dog 9a at the uppermost position. When any recess 6g of the rotating disk 6a is in contact with the shoulder of the poultry carcass 100 from above, the sensor dog 9a spaced 180 degrees from the recess 6g in the circumferential direction is at the uppermost position, and the proximity sensor 9b Detects the approach of the sensor dog 9a, and the recess 6g of the rotating disc 6a abuts on the shoulder of the upper half of the poultry carcass 100 from above to rotate around the upper and lower axes of the upper half 100 of the poultry carcass. Detects that it is preventing.
