ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing the mid-section portion of the skin from the carcass of an animal, such as a hog, includes a revolvable drum mounted on a frame. A flap forming mechanism is mounted on the drum and is operable to form a skin flap and grip the same to hold the skin against the drum during the skinning operation. A skinning blade is mounted on the frame and positioned adjacent the drum to cut the skin from the torso. A skin hold-back mechanism is mounted on the frame and includes an arm having a blade which engages the drum to remove the skin from the drum. This hold-back device engages the drum and dislodges the skin from the toothroll cavity when the mid-section portion of the skin is completely removed from the animal. The frame is mounted on a shock absorbing device which absorbs vertical forces transmitted to the frame during the skinning operation.
