US Patent:

41661400, Aug 28, 1979

Filed:

Sep 6, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/830468

Inventors:

Edward E. Dutton - Whittier CA
Jack Gorby - Los Angeles CA

Assignee:

Sea-Pac, Inc. - Gardena CA

International Classification:

B65B 6302

US Classification:

426397

Abstract:

A fish-canning method using a machine having two adjacent parallel rotary turrets each having a fish-receiving pocket in the periphery thereof. The turrets are positioned to align the pockets with each other to form a single combined pocket which is then filled with fish from a correspondingly large size feed chute of increasing cross-sectional area. The fish in the pockets is severed between the turrets and the turrets are rotated by different amounts to move the filled pockets laterally out of alignment with each other. The fish in both filled pockets is formed into the shape of a can and ejected endwise from the pockets into two separate cans.
