still be considered as being continuous the slit 103 in the orientation device acting as an extension thereof fig3 b shows the situation in which the larynx has the desired orientation the cartilage part 12 facing the transport direction on account of the rigidity of the cartilage part the arms 101 will not here be able to penetrate into the larynx but will instead be forced aside by the tapering larynx against the force from the springs 102 following which the plucks set may pass comparatively unhindered in an alternative embodiment the orientation device 100 may be made as an optically based system in which the orientation of the larynx is determined on basis of the position of the white cartilage part 12 in the reddish tissue to prevent two plucks sets from arriving simultaneously or at a very short interval to the orientation device it is preferred to provide the apparatus according to the invention with a buffer device 105 receiving the plucks sets as they arrive to the apparatus and releasing them at a predetermined rate such buffer devices may be designed and work in countless manners but these embodiments will not be described in detail as they will be well known to the person skilled in the art it is however preferred to provide the buffer device with an emergency shutdown by means of which the release of plucks sets from the buffer device may be stopped for a shorter or longer period of time in the embodiment shown the now orientated plucks sets 6 are conveyed to a resting zone 2 where they are allowed to hang freely to put a stop to swings if any and to allow twists of the gullet and windpipe to straighten out to bring.
