ABSTRACT:
A revolving apparatus for automatically opening a fowl's body cavity by severing the fowl's skin near its vent, comprising at least one slide block reciprocating towards and away from the fowl and carrying a gripping member, which grips the fowl as the slide block is moved towards the fowl and brings the fowl into the right position for its skin to be cut near its vent by a rotating circular knife. The knife may either be contained within a housing carried by the slide block, in which case the gripping member is formed by a ball shaped protrusion attached to the housing and adapted to penetrate into an opening formed in the fowl by cutting out its vent, or be stationary with respect to the slide block, in which case the gripping member is formed by a suction member which pulls the fowl's skin against the knife as the slide block again moves away from the fowl.
