FIELD: agricultural engineering, in particular, sea buckthorn collecting equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has frame with carrier and stop members, and drive mechanism. Combing-off fingers with rollers at their ends are arranged on carrier member. Rollers are adapted for cooperation with stop member working surface. Combing-off fingers are mounted on carrier member for rotation relative to longitudinal axis. Rollers are rigidly fixed at ends of combing-off fingers and are spring-loaded to working surface of stop member. Carrier and stop members are mounted on single shaft fixed on frame by means of bearing support, said carrier member being rigidly fixed to shaft and stop member being positioned for free rotation. Both members are coupled to drive mechanism. Each combing-off finger has part adjoined to carrier member and made in the form of coil spring. Combing-off fingers are positioned on carrier member circumferentially with respect to shaft axis. Stop member has cylindrical working surface. Such construction allows fruit to be taken from many kinds of trees and bushes, including sea buckthorn, having different height, crown diameter, fruit size, and arrangement of fruits in crown. EFFECT: increased efficiency and reduced damage to fruit during detachment of fruit stalk from stem. 3 cl, 3 dwg
