ABSTRACT:
A fruit clipper with a scissor-like cutter at the front end. A spring is attached to the scissor-like cutter biasing the blades in the open position and a wire from the scissor-like cutter extends to a solenoid. When the solenoid is enabled, and the core of the solenoid is pulled into the coil it pulls the wire which in turn closes the cutter blades against the spring bias. Electrical contacts are on one of the blades and frame which are connected by a circuit to the solenoid so that when the contacts are joined the circuit is closed enabling the solenoid and closing the cutter blades. A scoop and chute assembly are disposed under the cutter blades and cut fruit drops into the scoop and is carried by gravity down the chute.
