ABSTRACT:
A harvester for harvesting grapes or other fruits from plants. The harvester uses elastomer spring to support the closure wings of the harvester. The elastomeric spring may be a block of elastomeric material connecting a closure plate to the frame of the harvester. The elastomeric spring allows movement of the closure plate in many different directions. In addition, the elastomeric spring has fewer parts and is easier to assemble than conventional spring systems.
