ABSTRACT:
The invention relates particularly to clamps for closing the weasands of slaughtered animals such as sheep and cattle and consisting of a base member and a strap member for clamping the weasand against the base member, the base member having an intermediate or middle part which is of arcuate shape in transverse cross-section--that is to say, in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the weasand to be closed--and tapering or inclined forwardly in that longitudinal direction, and the strap member having means for securing its outer or free end to the base so as to grip a weasand tightly against the arcuately shaped middle part of the base and thereby inhibit the flow of ingesta. By reason of the tapered or inclined shape of the arcuately shaped middle part of the base the clamp, once it has been secured to the weasand, may be slid forwardly along the weasand to a position close to the stomach of the slaughtered animal but will strongly resist any return movement due to internal pressure in the stomach and/or weasand. It is preferred that the two parts be made as a unitary moulding of a suitable plastic material.
