Abstract

The pivoted mount connecting two opposing sections of a meat scraping machine suspends the movable section for swinging gravity-induced movement toward the stationary section. The stationary section is the sole support for the movable section and wholly encloses the power source for the machine. A drive connection passes into the movable section through the pivoted mount, so the drive system for the entire machine is wholly contained within the two opposing sections, entirely free from exposure to the outside environment. The result is a sanitary drive system for the machine.
