Abstract
A picking element for a poultry picking apparatus comprises a beaker-shaped support whose casing surface carrying picking fingers is a truncated conical surface and whose end face is situated substantially transversely to the axis of rotation, there being located between the casing surface and the end face a number of transition surface areas which are situated at a more acute angle to the center line of the casing surface than the end face and which each carry at least one picking finger, the end face carrying a number of picking fingers substantially parallel to the center line.

A picking element for a poultry picking apparatus, comprising a beaker-shaped support which is to be driven rotatably about the center line thereof and whose cylindrical casing surface and end face are provided with picking fingers and wherein the casing surface is a truncated conical surface of which the end face is disposed substantially transversely to the axis of rotation, while between the casing surface and the end face are located a number of transition surface areas which lie at a more acute angle to the center line of the casing surface than the end face and which each carry at least one picking finger, the end face carrying a number of picking fingers substantially parallel to the center line.
A poultry picking apparatus comprising at least two opposite rows of picking elements having picking fingers radially and axially extending therefrom, wherein the radially extending picking fingers of juxtaposed picking elements mesh with one another.
