Abstract
Abstract A machine for macerating a piece of meat includes a frame on which is mounted a gang of circular blades on a shaft rotatable above an inclined meat-supporting table and presser device which is adjustably relative to the blades, and a pressure device comprising a beam easily and quickly separably mounted on the frame above the blades and a channelshaped pressure plate device whose bottom wall is flat to be engaged by the meat and has a slot for each blade and whose flanges are easily and quickly adjustably connected to the beam to vary the extent of upward projection of the meat between the blades and to prevent the blades from lifting the meat from the table.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A meat processing machine comprising a frame having spaced and opposed vertical supports, a horizontal mascerating blade shaft removably rotatably journaled in said supports and having a plurality of circular blades mounted thereon in spaced apart relation longitudinally thereof, a meat-supporting table removably mounted on said frame beneath said blades along which a piece of meat may be slid in contact with said blades for slitting said meat, a pressure device including an inverted channel shaped beam having a main wall separably and rigidly secured at its ends on said supports, respectively, above said shaft and blades and having depending spaced and parallel side walls covering and embracing said blades, and a channel-shaped pressure plate device having a flat bottom wall and parallel side flanges mounted on said beam with said bottom wall beneath said shaft to be engaged by the top surface of said meat, said bottom wall having slots through each of which extends one blade and said flanges extending upwardly in sliding contact with the respective side walls of the beam, and means adjustably securing said flanges to said side walls for up and down movement of said bottom wall.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A meat processing machine comprising a frame having spaced and opposed vertical supports, a horizontal mascerating blade shaft removably rotatably journaled in said supports and having a plurality of circular blades mounted thereon in spaced apart relation longitudinally thereof, a meat-supporting table removably mounted on said frame beneath said blades along which a piece of meat may be slid in contact with said blades for slitting said meat, a pressure device including an inverted channel shaped beam having a main wall separably and rigidly secured at its ends on said supports, respectively, above said shaft and blades and having depending spaced and parallel side walls covering and embracing said blades, and a channel-shaped pressure plate device having a flat bottom wall and parallel side flanges mounted on said beam with said bottom wall beneath said shaft to be engaged by the top surface of said meat, said bottom wall having slots through each of which extends one blade and said flanges extending upwardly in sliding contact with the respective side walls of the beam, and means adjustably securing said flanges to said side walls for up and down movement of said bottom wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
The meat processing machine as defined in claim 1 wherein said main wall of the beam has end extensions beyond said side walls resting on the top surfaces of said supports, respectively, and there are screws having heads and shanks with the shanks passing through openings in said extensions and screwed into said supports and the heads tightened against said extensions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The meat processing machine as defined in claim 1 wherein said flanges of the pressure plate have slots and there are headed screws each having its shank passing through one slot and screwed into the corresponding side wall of the beam and having its head tightened against the corresponding flange.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
76 words
The meat processing machine as defined in claim 1 wherein said table is separably swingably mounted at its meat receiving end on said frame and is inclined downwardly beneath said blades to swing toward and away from said flat wall of the pressure plate, and with the addition of means for adjustably supporting the lower discharge end of the table on the frame to hold the table in the desired spaced relation to said pressure plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
The meat processing machines as defined in claim 1 with the addition of a case including two sections each removably telescopically fitted over one of said supports and connected together by a web section underlying said table.
