Patent ID: 7104878

Claim:
Method in removal of internal bones in a fore-end of a split carcass, including: bringing a transport tool ( 27 a ) to grip around the free end of the shank bone; pulling the fore-end past cutting tools ( 1 , 9 , 15 ) by means of the transport tool; having the cutting tools ( 1 , 9 , 15 ) perform cutting operations along the shank bone and the humerus bone and the shoulder blade guided by these bones to free-cut at least partial these from the rest of the fore-end; and maintaining the articulations between the shank bone, the humerus bone and the shoulder blade at least partially unbroken during the cutting operations, so that the tractive force from the transport tool ( 27 a ) by the grip of the tool around the free end of the shank bone is transferred to the bones via their unbroken connections.
