A tree stand lock apparatus comprises a ratchet buckle part and a wire rope part. The ratchet buckle part comprises a spool with a transaxial bore, a ratcheting lever handle, a locking means and a base affixed to a hook. The wire rope part comprises a wire rope, one end of which is affixed to a hook. The lock may be employed by wrapping the wire rope around a portion of a tree stand, hooking the hook of the rope to the hook of the ratchet buckle and threading the wire rope through the transaxial bore. The ratchet buckle is operated to render the wire rope taut and the buckle is locked in the closed position.

Provided herein are various suspension devices and associated methods and apparatus to open loops (or form opened loops) in a chain of linked products suspended from one or more suspension devices in a conveyor system. In one implementation, a suspension device for a chain of linked products includes a link support portion pivotally coupled to a conveyor, the link support portion configured to suspend a portion of the chain of linked products therefrom and comprising a lower portion downwardly extending from the link support portion. The lower portion is configured to engage a portion of a respective link of the chain upon a pivoting motion of the link support portion about a pivot axis in order to open a respective loop suspended from the link support portion to an unloading orientation for unloading.

A vehicle-mounted device for hoisting and transporting big game such as deer, and more particularly a device for mounting on an all-terrain vehicle such as a quad, is disclosed. The device includes two or more spaced-apart lift lines for encircling the trunk of a big-game carcass so as to hoist and transport the carcass with the trunk extending substantially horizontally. The lift lines are attached to a common reel rotatably mounted to the vehicle. The device includes a hand crank for rotating the reel so as to spool in the lift lines and a hand-manipulable set screw for locking the reel and lift lines during transportation of the carcass.

An apparatus for suspending a sausage (6) from a stick (7) includes an endless circulating body (3) provided with hooks (4) stick supporting members (10) for supporting the stick at a position below the hooks, a pair of stick-supporting-member actuating devices (11) for moving the stick supporting members toward or away from the stick, and a stick transferring device (104) for transferring the sausage suspended from the hooks onto the stick while removing the stick from the stick supporting members, and for concurrently supplying an ensuing stick onto the stick supporting members.

A gripper system for gripping and transferring a smoke stick introduced into sausage loops or into other products suspended on hooks in loops or in pairs. For the simple and proper gripping and transferal of a smoke stick a smoke stick is first lifted to remove the products from the hooks with at least two grippers, wherein the grippers grip the smoke stick between the hooks, wherein the grippers hold and fix the smoke stick during removal. The smoke stick and the products suspended from it are then aligned by rotation of the smoke stick about its longitudinal axis. The smoke stick is then transported to a smoke stick depository, wherein the smoke stick is fixed in the grippers and then deposited on a smoke stick depository.

The invention relates to a system for allowing a quality check of sausage shaped products. The system includes a filling tube for feeding filling material into a tubular packing casing. The system further includes a clipping machine having a displacer unit with at least two pairs of displacer elements for gathering the filled tubular packing casing and for providing a plait-like portion. The system further includes a clipping unit for applying two closure means to the plait-like portion of the tubular packing casing, and a feeding unit for feeding flexible suspension elements to the clipping unit. The system further comprises a discharge device for by-passing the transportation unit by at least one of the sausage-shaped products and for discharging the by-passed sausage-shaped product out of the clipping machine.

In order to be able to accept single sausage portions after leaving the filling machine and to be able to deposit them in an ordered manner with respect to quantity and position, an acceleration device for accepting the sausage portions from a filling machine in a row and for conveying them further, and a transfer device for pushing the single sausage portions sideways from the acceleration device at defined positions.

A belt-shaped base of a female member of a zipper tape attached to an inner surface of a bag body has a wide portion that extends wider toward an opening of the bag body than a belt-shaped base of the male member. An open tape is disposed on the wide portion and a seal layer is laminated on a surface of the open tape. A first projecting portion is also provided on the wide portion. A second projecting portion is provided on an opening-side end of the belt-shaped base. The projecting portions have a substantially trapezoidal cross section. When the zipper tape is bonded to the bag body and is sealed by the seal layer, a gap is provided between the open tape and the first and the second projecting portions.

Incorporates buckets (3) open on their top in which the meat pieces are loaded, moving on traction device (4) that execute a step by step motion towards the feeding area located between the piston (1) and the body of the stuffing machine (2), where the meat piece is pushed by the piston (1) towards the body of the stuffing machine (2) for compacting and subsequently wrapping it. The buckets (3) have open front and rear faces to facilitate the run of the piston (1) and the exit of the meat piece towards the body of the stuffing machine (2). In addition, a device is provided for facilitating the centered position of the bucket with respect to the position of the piston (1) in the feeding area.

An apparatus for transferring a stick with a food product such as a sausage suspended therefrom includes: a stick supplying device for transferring onto a stick a sausage suspended from a loop forming device and for subsequently supplying the stick with the sausage suspended therefrom to a stick supporting and relaying device; the stick supporting and relaying device for temporarily placing thereon and supporting the stick; the transferring device for transferring the stick from the stick supporting and relaying device to a conveying device; the conveying device for conveying the stick to a stick delivering device; the stick delivering device for sequentially delivering to a swiveling device each leading one of a plurality of sticks which have been conveyed in parallel by the conveying device; the swiveling device for swiveling the stick about a swiveling axis; and a stick taking-off device for sequentially taking off the stick from the swiveling device.
