ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an improved shaker rod for a shaker type fruit harvester machine comprising a rigid mounting portion at one end of the rod arranged to be rigidly secured directly to a support member on the machine, a deflectable free end portion at its other end, and an intermediate elongate portion extending between said ends, the rod being constructed so that its strength and stiffness varies between its ends whereby the rod is less stiff and therefore more flexible in the region of its free end than at its fixed one end. Preferably the free end portion comprises an enlarged bulbous formation which has a convexly curved end wall.
