ABSTRACT:
An improved high capacity harvesting apparatus is disclosed which includes means for rotating an article collecting bin about its central vertical axis as articles are continuously supplied adjacent the central bottom portion of the bin, and for automatically incrementally lowering the bin relative to the article supply means in accordance with the formation of successive layers of articles in the bottom of the bin. Preferably grabber discharge means of the parallel spaced reciprocatory jaw type are provided for gently supplying the articles to the bin. Improved padded roller elevator means are provided for supplying the articles to the grabber discharge means at a relatively high rate from one or more article sources.
