ABSTRACT:
Poultry carcasses (10) are carried in series by an overhead conveyor system along an internal guide rail (33), with protrusions of the vertebrae received in the downwardly facing slot (37). The thighs (12) spread apart by a pair of joint opening guide rods (43 and 44) to open the thigh joints and joint separating wheels (51, 52) engage the knuckles of each thighbone and urge the knuckles upwardly and out of mating engagement with the backbone (10) to thereby separate the thigh joints.
