AN INVESTIGATION OF INTEGRATING DESIGN BY FEATURES AND FEATURE RECOGNITION

A bulk meat feeding machine including a head member attached to the support base of a main feeding machine has a main feeding channel therein, the improved head member having a cavity therein connected to the outlet end of the main feeding channel, a sweeping blade rotatably mounted in the cavity, two outlet openings in the cavity connected with two spaced linear passageways having plungers therein which push the product through a bell-shaped cover attached to the head member and into alveolate form containers sealingly connectable to the bell-shaped cover. A pushing plunger is provided in the main feeding channel to push the product into the cavity and is thereafter alternately pushed through the two openings by the sweeping action of the blade driven by a rotating drive member.
