Abstract:
A pin bone removal apparatus comprising:a. a plurality of disks, each disk having a center, a periphery circumscribing the center, a diameter, a first side, and an opposed second side, wherein the diameters of each of the disks are substantially the same dimension;b. means for positioning the disks relative to each other so that the centers of each of the disks are aligned substantially linearly to form a stack of the disks, the stack having a longitudinal axis extending through the centers thereof, wherein the periphery of adjacent disks in the stack are separated from each other at different distances in which the closest distance separating the periphery of two adjacent disks is less than a width of a pin bone; andc. means for rotating the stack of the disks about the longitudinal axis of the stack.
