ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for harvesting fruit or similar articles on the ground. The process comprises driving the fruit ahead of rotating brushes (10-14, 32) which are displaced in the vicinity of the ground in such a manner as to cause each fruit to roll toward an edge of the brush for forming a window parallel to the direction of displacement, recovering said window on a receiving surface (34) positioned in such a manner as to extend to the vicinity of the edge of at least one bruch (32) and to convey toward a container the fruit recovered from said surface. The process of the invention permits gathering even fragile fruit without bruising them, either on damp ground or on dry ground.
