Abstract
The invention relates to a de-rinding device for pork having a de-rinding knife (7) at one free end and, at a distance from same corresponding to the rind thickness, a contact surface. As a relative movement is carried out between a meat area to be de-rinded and the knife passing with the contact surface, the rind (5) is separated. A drive unit (10) is provided for the knife. According to the invention the knife and the drive unit constitute a manual de-rinding device (3) which is portable in operation and is equipped with at least one handle (16) on a device housing (9). The de-rinding knife (3) is suitable to de-rind whole or half hogs in strips before cutting them into pieces, in particular in a suspended position. A simple, safe and low-cost de-rinding process is thus afforded.
Claims19
A de-rinding device for pork having a de-rinding knife at a contact surface disposed at a distance from said de-rinding knife so that the rind is striped off in a relative movement of a meat area to be de-rinded passing between said de-rinding knife and said contact surface, and a drive unit, wherein said device comprises:
- a de-rinding knife and a drive unit for said knife;
- a portable carrying frame having at least one handle;
- said de-rinding knife and drive unit being carried by said frame approximately transverse to said handle and having a cutting edge disposed vertically in relation to the position of the user as determined by the position of the handle so that the de-rinding device removes the rind from a whole or half hog, in a suspended position;
- said frame being guided by hand whereby the de-rinding knife is part in contact with the outside of the hog, said de-rinding knife cuts off the broad side of a rind strip being removed.
The device of claim 33 wherein said drive unit includes an electric motor controlled by two switches electrically connected in series, each of which is installed on one of said handles.
A portable de-rinding device for pork comprising:
- a de-rinding knife having a cutting edge;
- a contact surface disposed at a predetermined distance from said cutting edge so that the rind is stripped off in a relative movement of a meat area to be de-rinded passing between said knife and said contact surface;
- a drive unit for driving said knife;
- a portable frame having at least one handle for carrying said de-rinding knife element and drive unit so that said cutting edge is generally transverse to the position of the user so that the de-rinding device removes the rind from a whole or half hog, in a suspended position, as it is guided by hand;
- and
- width-cutting knives disposed on both end side of said de-rinding knife having a cutting depth at least generally equal to the distance between said de-rinding knife and said contact surface so that said width-cutting knives cut off the longitudinal edges of the rind strip.
