ABSTRACT:
A fruit harvesting machine, especially suitable for grapes, consists of a mobile frame which straddles the vines so that longitudinal frame members extend down each side of the central axis of the frame. Base plates for catching the falling fruit extend inwards from the longitudinal members and are pivotable to allow the vines to pass along the machine. A resilient attachment for each base plate biases the plates towards their extended positions and includes internal and external sleeves between which is a resilient sleeve pre-stressed to urge the internal sleeve, attached to the plate, to rotate relative to the external sleeve into the extended position.
