ABSTRACT:
A tree trunk-type shaking apparatus, for vibrating a tree to effect harvesting of fruit or nuts, including a fixed trunk-engaging jaw and a pair of relatively movable, vibratable, trunk-engaging jaws. The three jaws are arranged so that they can surround a tree trunk and contact same over almost the entirety of the periphery thereof. Vibration of the two vibratable jaws while in contact with the tree trunk will shake the tree trunk and thereby dislodge the ripe fruits or nuts therefrom.
