Hauptstrasse 68 Harvester for berries

The invention relates to harvesting equipment for berries, in particular black currants.

The harvest of currants, especially the pathways Black currants, which are very popular due to their high vitamin content, are still extremely difficult and wage-intensive today. Satisfactory harvesting equipment is available not available. There are also no suitable

Containers available in which you could shake the berries, as they are usually on bushes or very low-stemmed shrubs grow. Normal agricultural containers with equally high hand do not come into consideration, as they are not adapted to the circumstances and too many berries would fall over the edge.

The invention is based on the object of providing a harvesting device for berries, in particular black currants to make, which is easy to handle and sine good yield with relatively little personnel expenditure guaranteed.

According to the invention, above all a trough open at the top is provided to be placed obliquely under the bush. This can then be pushed far enough to the low trunk or the rootstock of the shrub and is in a favorable position under the individual, often widely spreading branch, so that when the Astes, no berries fall over the edge and in particular the berries that are near the trunk also perfectly be caught.

The tub is expediently formed from a fabric or a plastic film that is formed and attached in the shape of a tub are attached to a corresponding frame. In this way, the harvesting device can be easily adapted to uneven ground, and before Above all, the tub can be emptied very easily and gently. The other details of expedient designs the tub are treated below.

In order to use the tub efficiently and to shake off the berries or whole grapes from the bush with a large yield

and to be able to catch it with the tub, it is expedient to assign a vibrator intended to attack the bush to the tub. This can expediently consist of a commercially available electric saw, in the saw blade holder a multiple zigzag angled, stiff wire is clamped. With the simplest means, a well-working harvester for berries, especially for harvesting black currants, be created.

Further features, advantages, details and aspects of the invention are set out in the sub-claims and in the following description of an advantageous embodiment of the given on the basis of the drawings Invention, to which this is not limited, treated.

Like from the Pig. 1-3, the frame has a lower rectangular, runner-like frame with a front cross bar 15, iron rear cross bar 16 and side bars 17 and 18. In all four corners, posts protrude obliquely upwards at the front and back. The front posts 19 are significantly shorter than the rear posts 20. At the upper ends, the front posts are connected to a cross bar 21 and the rear posts 20 are connected to a cross bar 22, which is also straight. In the longitudinal direction, drag rods 23 extend at the top, the upper section 24 of which is more inclined to the horizontal than ii *. their middle section 25. In the lower section 26, they are again inclined approximately in the same direction as the upper sections 24.

On the upper frame, which is formed from the rods 21, 22 and 23 , the tub 13 is suspended with the aid of hooks 27 or tied with the aid of ropes. For this purpose , eyelets 28 are attached at an appropriate distance on the edge of the tub. The actual tub 13 consists of a material, in particular a plastic film or a solid fabric, such as canvas or fabric coated with plastic. It has side wall parts 30 that follow the profile of the rods 23 above and are connected in the lower Eoken 31 to the central web 32, for example by sewing or welding. The central track 32 forms a front, slightly inclined to the vertical front wall 32a, which merges into a very slightly inclined to the horizontal in the direction of the trunk 40 bottom part 32b , which in turn in the long and very

steep rear wall area 32c, which goes up to the Qberen, high support rod 22 is enough. This form, which can be seen very clearly from the drawings, makes it possible to catch up the berries under a branch of the bush to be shaken is very possible because the upper edge of the tub runs obliquely, it is lower in the front part facing the trunk or stronger rootstock and with its angled side bars encloses the branches well.

over branch 41; which is to be harvested, good too Shake and one berries or whole grapes 43 to shake off and to collect with the tub, a vibrator 45 is provided. For this purpose one uses appropriately a commercially available, electrically driven jigsaw. This has a saw blade holder 46. Instead of d * s Jigsaw blade 8, a jig hook 47 is inserted into the saw blade holder 46. This consists of a Pederstahl tab, which is angled several times in a zig-zag shape is as FIG. 4 illustrates. You only need a vibrating hook shaped like this in the bush hold in and press against the branch. The branch then always finds one of the many recesses 48, in which he lays down so that he is of the vibrating hook moved quickly back and forth in the direction of arrow 49 is taken. As a result, branch 41 is shaken vigorously so that the berries and whole grapes are perfect fall off, as experiments have already shown. If there is no electrical network nearby, you can also generate electrical energy in the plantations with a small unit that is driven by an internal combustion engine.

The tub hanging on the frame can be very easily

The berries that have already been harvested are not pushed because they are lying loosely in the soft tub. For emptying, the tub can be arched upwards so that the berries can be brought over the lower edge into another collecting vessel.
