DEFINITION

Classification: 99/572

(under subclass 568) Device wherein the shell disjoining* means is regulated (releasably positioned), in relation to the shell size, and operated in three distinct movements: (A) the shell disjoining means is moved into contact with the food; (B) upon contact, a regulatable portion of the disjoining means is locked; and, (C) the shell disjoining means is then moved further to effect separation of the shell from its contents.

(1) Note. Apparatus of this subclass subjects each shell to the same length separation stroke so as to separate, but not crush, the meat or shell contents.
