ABSTRACT:
The applicant's hand operated fruit picker and bag is characterized by a cage which has a narrower mid-section, horizontal zone or area, the upper section of which cage is concave in shape, forming a pocket, a pole to which the cage is attached at the pole's upper extremity, a horizontally pivoted gate facing the cage, which gate is held in normal closed position by springs attached to it and within the cage, the said gate having an upper section and a lower section, the angle between the two sections being about 137.degree., the gate being of a size to fit within the cage when completely closed, the upper section of the gate not extending to the top of the cage when in closed position, thus leaving a space, whereby when the unit of fruit that is being picked is within the aforesaid pocket, it is readily detached upon a pull upon the pole by the operator of the picker, a control cable attached to the gate at its own upper end, and at its lower end pivoted to the pole, whereby the operator can act against the force of the springs, thus to open the gate and admit the fruit unit to be picked to the cage.
