ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for collecting objects from a surface by grasping the objects between a plurality of discs having resiliently deformable segments. Rotation of the discs with the objects therebetween transports the objects from the surface to a separate portion of the device where they are extracted by arcuate members beween the discs and collected. In another form, a plurality of axially spaced wheels each including a multiplicity of circumferentially spaced elongated elastically deformable members having diametrically enlarged balls at their tips rotates along the surface. Objects are received between the balls and retained by the members at locations radially inwardly of the balls. Extractors projecting between the wheels remove the objects and guide them to a collection container.
