APEARATUS FOR SKIN 1\T IN G CATTLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 13, 1919. Serial No. 304,,tm2.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. GALLERY, a citizen of the United States of America, residin at Wheatland, in the county of Yuba and tate of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Skinning Cattle, of which the following is a specification. I
The object of the invention is to provide a means for removing the hides from cattle and other slaughtered stock without the inconveniences, loss of time and unsanitary conditions which are incident to the ordlnary methods involving the intimate handling of the object by the operator, the use of knives or similar instruments and the like, and furthermore to provide for conducting such an operation under conditions gent agents as a further precaution and as means of insuringproper and satisfactory preparation of the product.
With this end in view the invention consists essentially in forcibly introducing beneath the previously punctured skin'or hide of the animal, a blast or column of fluid, such as air, gas, water or any equivalent thereof containing any suitable or preferred antiseptic if the use of the same should be found desirable, so that the column or blast of fluid comes in contact with the flesh to: separate the skin along the lines or in the planes of cleavage between the same and the flesh.
In carrying out this method it is obvious that various mechanisms in the way of apparatuamay be employed, but to the end that a full understanding of the inventlon may be secured a preferred embodiment of the same is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, it being understood, however, that changes therein particularly as to form and proportion may be resorted to without departing from the principles involved.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents the apparatus as actually in operation.
Fig. 2 is a detail view of the nozzle showing means whereby connection thereof may be made to facilitate the introduction of the blast or separating fluid.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are transverse sectional views respectively on planes indicated by the lines 33, 44, and 55 of Fig. 2.
In carrying out the method which is prescribed that after the animal has been slaughtered and otherwise prepared for the skinning or dehiding operation, a suitable puncture should be provided in the hide 10, as ndicated in F ig.-2 at 11, and a nozzle 12 which may be of any suitable material should be inserted and the edges of the hide around the puncture should be secured to the surface of the nozzle, toprevent leakage or exhaust of fluid pressure as by means of aclamp on which the jaws or elements 12' may be eflectively held inplace by means of an adjustable contact ring 13 or its equivalent. The nozzle is preferably connected with a controlling valve or cut off 14 and is connected by a flexible hose 15 and by a fluid supply pi e 16 in communication with a compressor 1 or the likeffor example by pump 18 having an operating engine 19.
Sufficient pressure being supplied, the fluid introduced through the nozzle will find 1ts way between the skin or hide and the flesh of the object to effect the separation thereof without the use of any supplementary implements, and without subjecting the product to the contaminating. influence of the hands of the operator or surrounding objects, thus leaving for the operatoronly the task of finishing the details of the o eration and insuring the completion of t e same with the minimum expenditure of time and effort and. the advantages incident to keeping the pelt side of the hide out of contact with the carcass.
The invention having been described, what is claimed as new and useful is:
In a means for dehiding cattle, a nozzle provided with a manually controlled valve at the end remote from the nose, and a clamp secured to the nozzle and consisting of a pair of semi-circular jaws, swinging arms by which the jaws are carried, and a clamping ring to move the jaws into clam ing engagement with the edges of the hi e adjacent a puncture formed therein, the ring being movable in the direction of the length of the nozzle, and traversing the arms by which the jaws are carried.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
WILLIAM S. GALLERY.
