A device for manufacturing a frusto-conical shaped meat product by means
of a mold casing that receives ground meat under pressure. The mold
casing has an inner wall, a first lateral end, and a second lateral end.
The mold casing has a frusto-conical shape, for forming the meat product
into a desired shape and cross section. An end fitting is secured to the
discharge end of a meat stuffer. The end fitting includes a plurality of
pivotable, flexible, adjacent, partially overlapping fins. The fins pivot
as they are moved relative to the mold casing, and in that way maintain
contact with the inner wall of the mold casing.
