Embodiment Construction

[0043] exist figure 1 A live and standing chicken is shown in , to demonstrate the anatomy of a bird that is normally consumed by humans and therefore processed in large quantities in slaughterhouses. However, it should be understood that other types of birds such as ducks, geese, turkeys, quail or pigeons may also be treated in accordance with the present invention.

[0044] In the following, the orientation of the bird 1 and its parts will be defined by the orientation of its thorax 11 and back 12 . In this regard, it should be noted that when terms such as "towards the thorax" and "towards the dorsal" are used, only two opposite general directions are meant, rather than a precise angle.

[0045] The chicken's wings are shown raised to allow a better view of the legs 13 , including the thigh 14 , lower leg 15 and shank 16 . The thigh is connected to the lower section of the chicken leg at the knee joint 20 , the lower section of the chicken leg is connected to the lower le...

Abstract

A method of suspending a bird from a shackle according to the invention comprises the following sequence of steps: I) bending at least one leg at the hock joint so that the foot comes nearer to the breast of the bird,II) inserting the leg in the shackle,III) releasing the leg at least partially. The bending may be achieved by arranging an engagement member at the breast side of the leg to hinder a movement of the hock joint towards the breast of the bird and using a carrier for forcing the foot towards the breast. The engagement member and / or carrier may be adapted to yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of suspending a bird from a hook and a device using such a method. Background technique [0002] In most bird slaughterhouses, especially poultry slaughterhouses, the birds to be slaughtered are suspended from slaughter hooks on overhead conveyors before being killed, plucked and / or eviscerated. Manually suspending birds is a tedious and tedious job, so there is a need to provide a reliable automated process. [0003] WO 2011 / 116774 and EP 1276382 disclose examples of devices and methods such that the process can be at least semi-automatic. The birds are arranged at the edge of a support surface with their feet protruding from the edge of the support surface and are locked in retaining clips passing adjacent the support surface on a separate conveyor. The retaining clips and attached birds then travel away from the support surface towards a transfer table where the birds are transferred from the retaining cli...
