Title:
Hand-held meat skinning device
Abstract:
A hand-held meat skinning device comprising a housing containing an air driven motor positioned therein which is in communication with a source of air under pressure. A pivotal lever is provided on the housing for actuation of the air motor. A guard ring is provided on the housing adjacent the lower end for protecting the operator's hand and for preventing the actuation lever from being depressed when the unit is placed upon a supporting surface. A laterally extending housing portion is provided at the forward end of the device and has a toothed roll rotatably mounted thereon which is driven by the air motor positioned in the housing. The laterally extending housing portion is provided with a recessed or cut-away portion to expose the periphery of the toothed roll. A plurality of spaced-apart grooves are formed in the periphery of the toothed roll and a stripper blade is positioned in the upper portions of the grooves in a "floating" condition and maintained therein by a bolt. A shoe clamp is secured to the underside of the laterally extending housing portion and includes a pair of spaced-apart edging members or fingers which extend forwardly of the skinning blade positioned on the shoe clamp.
