ABSTRACT:
A machine for gathering fruit by a shaking and beating action includes a wheeled frame with a longitudinal central tunnel through which the plants pass. A series of groups of flexible beater fingers flank the longitudinal axis of the tunnel, and the beater fingers of each group are on carrier means on a connecting rod which has one end operatively connected to a driver eccentric and the opposite end carried upon a slide block secured to the machine frame. Each group of beater fingers moves generally elliptically so the flexible fingers have a whipping action which shakes the plants to dislodge the fruit.
The machine has several adjustments which adapt it to harvesting fruit from a variety of plants, and in particular for gathering grapes from vines of different kinds, sizes and dispositions.
