ABSTRACT:
An off-conveyor line meat cutting and handling apparatus is used in association with a conveyor track on which carcasses for cutting are transported; each carcass is suspended from a hook which has a yoke-member and rollers to permit travelling along the conveyor track which may be an overhead monorail track. The apparatus functions as a wayside station and has an immovable stand as well as a receiving device which has means to grip the yoke member so as not to allow movement thereof in any horizontal direction nor in a vertically downward direction. The receiving device can be swung away from the track and has a locking device holding the yoke in a locking position until released manually. For convenience, the carcass can be rotated slowly along with the hook during meat-cutting, so as to obviate the operator going around the carcass. The hook with the suspended carcass may be physically swung away from the track on a receiving device of the apparatus for completing cutting, so that subsequent carcasses which may have other destinations can pass the region of the apparatus along the track unhindered. An optional downwardly extending member having nail-like projections facilitates additionally securing the carcass during cutting.
