LEG SPLITTING MACHINE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A poultry leg splitting machine adapted to be employed either alone or in combination with a poultry leg/ back processor, wherein separated whole poultry legs com- prised of the joined drumstick and thigh portions are delivered by a flighted helical conveyor to a rotating slotted pocket wheel. The wheel in cooperative combination with fold-over guide rails automatically bends the drumstick- to-thigh, ball-and-socket joint about the joint natural flex arc thereof across the slotted pocket wheel circumferential edge for angled slot blade severing of one set of distended joint side tendons. The joint is thereby enabled to pop under continued fold-over guide rail pressure and pocket wheel arcuate transport displacement, thus permitting continued passage of the angled slot blade through joint tissue and remaining joint connecting tendons only, without ball-and-socket joint bone contact, to effect a completed transverse splitting of the poultry leg into separated thigh and drumstick cuts.
