Grape harvester which straddles vine row - has shaker arms mounted on shafts at different levels to act over total vine height

摘要

The machine for harvesting grapes, has two side frames with openings at the ends, and straddles a row of vines. Shakers separate the grapes from the stems, each shaker consisting of an arm fixed on a shaft which oscillates. At the ends of the arms the shakers penetrate into the vines, and with a rotary and oscillating motion ensure that all the grapes are harvested. There are four such shafts, with the arms at various heights to cover the entire vine height.
