Device for punching out and collecting eyeball section of fish

A device for punching out and collecting an eyeball section of a fish comprising:

• a head part supporting table arranged at a fish-feeding terminal end of a device base in a downward rotatable manner, the head part supporting table having an eyeball section discharge hole pierced in a center of the device base through an upper face to a lower face of the head part supporting table, the eyeball section discharge hole allowing the eyeball section of the fish to discharge from the head part supporting table;
• a body part supporting table arranged in an openable and closable manner to support a body part of the fish fed in a lying state and to remove the fish by opening the body part supporting table downward after punching out the eyeball section;
• an eyeball section punching-out blade body of a circular cylindrical shape arranged above the eyeball section discharge hole formed in the head part supporting table in a vertically movable and rotatable manner, a lower end of the eyeball section punching-out blade body being formed into a punching-out blade to punch out the eyeball section of the fish while the lower end is moving down and is rotated, and to enter the eyeball section discharge hole formed in the head part supporting table;
• a stopper for receiving and stopping a front end of the head part of the fish fed onto the head part supporting table from the body part supporting table, the stopper being made for positioning the eyeball section on the eyeball section discharge hole formed in the head part supporting table;
• a head part gripping means arranged on both sides of the head part supporting table to grip the head part in a manner of sandwiching the head part and of allowing the head part to escape downward,
• a suction hose connected to the lower face of the head part supporting table in an integrated manner and communicating with the eyeball section discharge hole of the head part supporting table at an upper end opening part thereof;
• a supporting table opening and closing mechanism for the head part supporting table constructed to enable the head part to be discharged downward from the head part supporting table by downward rotation of the head part supporting table, to which mechanism the suction hose is connected;
• and
• an opening and closing mechanism for the body part supporting table constructed to move in harmony with the supporting table opening and closing mechanism.
