ABSTRACT:
A method of hulling berries in which the unhulled berries are supported on a pair of oppositely rotating brushes with their adjacent sides moving downwardly and with the bristles in partially lapping relation at their adjacent sides.
The bristles are sufficiently stiff and resilient to pull sepals drawn between them downwardly from a berry supported on the pair of brushes, without tearing them, and to partially enter each berry at the stem end of the calyx (hull) for passing over the enlargement on the calyx at said end to quickly push the enlargement, with the sepals attached, out of the berry.
In operation, upon one of the sepals of a berry supported on the pair of brushes being engaged between bristles, the berry will be held against movement longitudinally of the brushes while the remaining sepals are progressively gathered between the brushes, and after being gathered the brushes slightly enter the berry to move across said enlargement and remove it, including the gathered sepals, from the berry.
