Abstract
A pressure shoe assembly for a skinner includes a back plate that is demountably received within a groove in a mount assembly. Ends of the back plate have extensions presenting an oblique contact surface for engagement of a retention member. The angle of the contact surface secures the back plate I the mount limiting vertical movement of the pressure shoe when in use. The mount assembly includes a ledge for supporting the assembly when removed for cleaning. A lift assist mechanism aids in moving the assembly between the groove and ledge.
Claims20
A pressure shoe assembly, comprising:
- a pressure shoe;
- a back plate mounted to the pressure shoe, the back plate comprising:
- a body extending between a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein the first end forms a first extension, and the first extension presents a first contact surface;
- a mount assembly, comprising:
- a first groove;
- and
- a passage extending between a third end and a fourth end, wherein the third end forms an opening communicating with the first groove;
- a first retention member forming a back plate contact surface;
- wherein the first end of the first extension is demountably received within the first groove;
- and
- wherein the first retention member is received within the passage, whereby the back plate contact surface engages the first contact surface retaining the first extension within the first groove.
A pressure shoe assembly, comprising:
- a pressure shoe;
- a back plate mounted to the pressure shoe, the back plate comprising:
- a body extending between a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein the first end forms a first extension, comprising:
- a top portion;
- and
- a rear portion with a face, wherein the face forms a first contact surface that extends upward and inward from the rear portion face toward the top portion.
- a mount assembly, comprising:
- a first groove;
- and
- a passage extending between a third end and a fourth end, wherein the third end forms an opening communicating with the first groove;
- a first retention member forming a back plate contact surface;
- wherein the first end of the first extension is demountably received within the first groove;
- and
- wherein the first retention member is received within the passage, whereby the back plate contact surface engages the first contact surface retaining the first extension within the first groove.
A pressure shoe assembly, comprising:
- a pressure shoe;
- a back plate mounted to the pressure shoe, the back plate comprising:
- a body extending between a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein the first end forms a first extension, and the first extension presents a first contact surface;
- a mount assembly, comprising:
- a first groove;
- a passage extending between a third end and a fourth end, wherein the third end forms an opening communicating with the first groove;
- and
- a ledge formed adjacent the first groove;
- a first retention member forming a back plate contact surface;
- wherein the first end of the first extension is demountably received within the first groove;
- wherein the first retention member is received within the passage, whereby the back plate contact surface engages the first contact surface retaining the first extension within the first groove;
- and
- wherein the ledge supports the pressure shoe assembly when the first extension is removed from the first groove.
