AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This process is difficult to accomplish, especially with a loop formed of a nonrigid material, as the loop must be lifted off the conveyor hook and placed on the rack hook.
This type of loop is unsatisfactory, as the food product can wobble on the hook projecting through oval-shaped aperture 28.
Transfer of the food product from the conveyor hook to the rack hook is also difficult, as the rack hook must be inserted through aperture 28 before the conveyor hook withdraws, or the product will drop to the ground.
Accordingly, a complicated feeding system is required for use with automated systems.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] While the invention may be susceptible to embodiments in different forms, there are shown in the drawings, and herein will be described in detail, specific embodiments with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to that as illustrated and described herein.

[0025] The loop 30 of a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in perspective view in FIG. 2 and in plan view in FIG. 3. Loop 30 is preferably manufactured in a chain 32 of individual pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, etc. Perforations 34 between each loop 30a, 30b, 30c, etc. are created in the manufacturing process, so that each individual loop 30 breaks off easily from the chain 32. Accordingly, chain 32 is preferably on a reel. The reel is mounted on an automated netter and each individual loop 30a, 30b, 30c, etc., is snapped off the chain 32 when it becomes the leading loop 30.

[0026] Loop 30 has ...

Abstract

A loop for hanging material enclosed in a package closed by a clip is described. The loop has a retaining section, a neck section, and at least one hanging section. The hanging section of one embodiment has a plurality of apertures for engagement by a plurality of hooks. The hanging section of another embodiment has an aperture able to engage a plurality of hooks.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the field of processed food products. This invention relates specifically to a system for hanging food products in smoke rooms for processing. [0002] Many types of food products are wrapped in packaging, which can be a film, such as a collagen film, or netting, or both. These products are often fully cooked before delivery to the consumer. For example, hams are sometimes wrapped in a collagen film (and optionally enclosed in netting) before cooking. A representative apparatus for packaging food products such as hams is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,958,477 to Winkler, Apparatus for the production of meat products. Similar processes are used for other whole-muscle meats, for sausages, for poultry (including whole birds such as turkeys and poultry parts such as turkey breasts), and cheeses. Sausages are commonly formed by extrusion of a pasty filling into a tubular collagen casing, often followed by wrapping with netting. A r...
