To efficiently change over without manual aid the choice of cartilage adhered to the unboned meat for leaving in the bone part or for cutting off from the bone part together with the meat.SOLUTION: The cartilage cutter of unboned meat in one embodiment is equipped with a cutting blade which is provided in the transportation path of unboned meat, and with an elastic support part which is for elastically supporting the cutting blade in a manner that the cutting blade can recede by a reactive force imparted to the cutting blade at the time of cutting the unboned meat. The elastic support part is constituted so that the changeover is possible between a first elastic support force in which the elastic support force of the elastic support part can cut the cartilage adhered to the bone part of the unboned meat and a second elastic support force in which the force is smaller than the first elastic support force, with no cartilage cut.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】骨付き肉に付着した軟骨を骨部に残すか又は肉部と共に骨部から切り離すかを人手に依らず効率良く切り替え可能にする。【解決手段】一実施形態に係る骨付き肉の軟骨切断装置は、骨付き肉の搬送経路に設けられた切断刃と、前記骨付き肉の切断時に前記切断刃に加わる反力によって前記切断刃が後退可能なように前記切断刃を弾性的に支持するための弾性支持部と、を備え、前記弾性支持部は、該弾性支持部の弾性支持力が前記骨付き肉の骨部に付着した軟骨を切断可能な第１弾性支持力と、前記第１弾性支持力より小さく前記軟骨を切断しない第２弾性支持力との間で切替え可能に構成される。【選択図】図１
