ABSTRACT:
A device for harvesting grapes or other berries having a plurality of hollow cylindrical wheels. Each of the wheels in turn has a wide tire having a rectilinear perforated circumference. The tires are maintained at reduced pressure by connection to a storage reservoir which is maintained under vacuum. The cylindrical wheels serve as presses and are arranged in pairs along two parallel vertical axes. The wheels are maintained in contact by springs which assure the pressure necessary to burst the berries or grapes which pass between the cylinders. After bursting, the fruit is drawn across and through the perforations of the cylinders and is conducted towards the storage reservoir. The device can further be utilized for harvesting other types of fruits.
