Manually operated fruit picker and sorter - has collapsible array of nets with passage leading to main duct

摘要

The fruit picker consists of a number of solid arms (1) fixed to the outer surfaces of pairs of grips (3,4). Each arm (1) and each support (2) has at one end, on the outside of the grips (3,4), a rigid piece which is perforated at the base and fixed to the grips (3,4). Through the holes are inserted pins, as well as one of the ends of the arm (1) and support (2) for attaching nets (6). The net (6) joins all the arms except two at the base of each net, where a passage (9) is formed. The passage (9) leads to a main duct (10) through which the fruit passes and is sorted. The pairs of grips (3,4) are each formed for two rigid semi-circular pieces.
