ABSTRACT:
In the course of the mechanized eviscerating procedure, the viscera-removing tool is introduced into the body cavity of a carcass in an entry stroke through an opening at the stern of the carcass. The tool moves arcuately along the breast of the carcass during the entry stroke, and substantially at the full innermost limit of the entry stroke of the tool, the carcass is lifted by its shoulders upwardly against the lowermost tip of the tool to locate the latter substantially at the intersection of the neck and the shoulders within the body cavity. Simultaneously with this action, the neck of the carcass is cocked abruptly toward the breast side of the carcass to maximize the depth of insertion of the tool into the body cavity. Consequently, upon the withdrawal stroke of the tool along the backbone of the carcass, prongs on the tip of the tool snag the veins and arteries interconnecting the heart and lungs so that lungs are peeled out of their sockets substantially wholly intact by virtue of the pulling force generated by the veins and arteries.
