Abstract
An apparatus for fleshing fur pelts with two conical poles, on each of which the pelt is positioned with the fur side facing inwardly. A ring is disposed concentrically of one pole. The ring is clamped to the pelt and moved axially of the pole by a piston driven carriage, which mounts the ring, to tension the pelt. The pole is rotated to allow a rotary scraper to flesh the pelt.
