ABSTRACT:
A pole mounted, fruit picking device for collecting fruit from trees. The fruit picker is comprised of a double ring jaw assembly mounted on the top end of a pole, with the bottom jaw being stationary and having a receiving bag or chute attached to it. The upper ring has a cutting edge and is pivotally movable by a pull device on the pole handle to snap down against the lower jaw and sever a fruit stem. The severed fruit drops through the bottom ring into the receiving chute. Flexible guard bands on the top ring extend around both sides of the cutting edge, and serve to protect the fruit against damage as a fruit stem is severed.
