ABSTRACT:
A poultry leg splitting machine adapted to be employed either alone or in combination with a poultry leg/back processor wherein separated whole poultry legs comprised of the joined drumstick and thigh portions are delivered by a flited helical conveyor to a rotating slotted pocket wheel which in cooperative combination with fold-over guide rails automatically bends the drumstick-to-thigh ball-and-socket joint about the joint natural flex arc thereof across the slotted pocket wheel circumferential edge for angled slot blade severing of one set of distended joint side tendons thereby enabling the joint to pop under continued fold-over guide rail pressure and pocket wheel arcuate transport displacement thus permitting continued passage of the angled slot blade through joint tissue and remaining joint connecting tendons only without ball-and-socket joint bone contact to effect a completed transverse splitting of the poultry leg into separated thigh and drumstick cuts.
