Single station anatomical section de-boning machine

Claim 1

A single station anatomical section de-boning machine for receiving successively by manually oriented insertion thereto anatomical sections for initiating a machine activation into an automatic high-speed de-boning cycle sequence to deliver respectively therefrom a separated substantially bone fragment free anatomical section meat component and an anatomical section elongated bone component, said machine comprising in combination: a. a longitudinally disposed support frame structure having interconnected horizontal and vertical members, b. a machine integrated electrical and pneumatic circuit system operational through a machine emergency ON/OFF-RESET safety switch means, c. additionally a machine electrical interlock safety switch means, d. a machine forward infeed end and a machine rearward delivery end respectively positioned at the opposite longitudinally disposed ends of said machine and therebetween provided with a double-acting main cylinder piston drive means reciprocally operable along a predetermined path coincidental with the centrally intermediate longitudinal axis disposition of said machine extensively toward the rearward delivery end thereof in a machine draw cycle mode and retractably toward the forward infeed end thereof, e. a machine plunger trigger means depressively operable upon a manually oriented insertion thereagainst of an anatomical section for de-boning processing operations to thereupon initiate activation of said machine, f. an anatomical section gripper blade means movably operable to clampably engage and securely retain said anatomical section prepatory to said machine draw cycle mode rearward displacement thereof along said predetermined path upon extension of said reciprocally operable main cylinder piston drive means, g. a pivotally functional but longitudinal stationary operational head de-boning assembly embodying in combination a triple set of longitudinally spaced pivotally acting blade means being respectively a set of shaped cooperative meat cutting and stripping blades plus a set of detented peeling blades and a set of scissor-acting tendon severing blades all activated by a cam to sequentially function in pivotal closable engagement of said anatomical section meat component on alignment of said centrally intermediate longitudinal axis disposition of said machine contemporaneously during rearward machine draw cycle mode displacement of said gripper blade means clampably engaged and securely retained anatomical section therealong and therethrough to effect a peelable removal and separation of said anatomical section meat component from said anatomical section elongated bone component of said anatomical section and thereafter a first and a second release means to operationally effect respective releases thereof, h. a machine recycle means functional to automatically effect reciprocating retraction of said double-acting main cylinder piston drive means toward the forward end of said machine, and i. a machine reset means to functionally posture said machine automatically for continued successive manually initiated de-boning operation utilization thereof.
