Abstract
The invention relates to an eviscerating device for removing the entrails from slaughtered poultry, comprising a substantially U-shaped brace with two legs extending in the same plane and a brace bottom connecting the legs. The legs and the brace bottom comprise a rod with a smooth surface without projections. At the brace bottom, the rod is shaped such that it comprises, at the crest of the brace bottom, a bend projecting from the plane of the brace legs having a shape adapted to the expected shape of the spine of the poultry to be processed. Thus a good loosening function is combined with a substantially reduced chance of damage to the entrails or poultry.
