Abstract

The invention concerns a feeding aid helping the manual feeding of fish processing machines, especially those for the processing of flat fish. The aid is suitable to be used on machines which have a vertical feeding shaft receiving the flat fish respectively their rumps and comprises a cover arranged above the feeding shaft and to be folded upwards, on which cover guiding plates extending into the feeding shaft are arranged. These guiding plates oppose each other V-shaped and are pivotal against the force of a spring about their longitudinal edges facing each other, the displacement occurring by each fish arriving in the feeding shaft and thereby effecting an adaptation of the V-shaped angle to the cross sectional shape of the fish.
