ABSTRACT:
A device for harvesting fruits or berries, particularly grapes, for in-line crops is of the type formed by a vehicle on which are rotatably mounted "hedgehog" drums with fingers or whips penetrating into the vegetation and dislodging the fruits. The drums are subdivided into superimposed coaxial elements each comprising a hub fixed on a vertical drive shaft and forming a variable angle with this latter and sleeves mounted freely rotatable on these hubs and also sloping by the same angle, these hubs carrying fingers and a support for rotatably driven vibrating inertia blocks. This device causes vibration of said fingers, which is adjustable by adjusting the rotational speed of the shaft, by varying the angle and the clearance of the inertia blocks, which vibration is the resultant of the vertical component and a horizontal component adjustable independently of each other.
