Abstract

Device for the harvesting of the olive, improving its mechanization, being the device of the type in which a plurality of rods provided with flexible fins stepped and transversely located, once penetrated in a sector of the olive tree are driven in rapid axial oscillation with which the fins hit the branch with the consequent detachment of the fruit, receiving said energy from an external origin of any nature, characterized in that said energy and by suitable axially rotary transmission is received by a short axis perpendicularly centered through a plate holder, whose axis, the overhang of the working face of said plate has a circular dish with a plane parallel and immediately to the plane of the plate, with the visible side of the plate having an eccentric projection stud which joints the ends of a plurality of rods with a ball joint. Rigid metal, whose free ends are in turn orige n of individual systems of rods that, like semi-parallel articulated and deformable, in the circuit of which semiparalelograms are freely rotating discs interspersed on small axes that emerge from the plane of the work plate, and whose planes are parallel to it, being the center of each disk the starting point of each of those rods provided with flexible fins, so that when rotating said central rotating energy receiver from the outside, the circumferential displacement of the aforementioned eccentric lug gives rise to the momentary deformation of each semiparalelogram and with it a partial rotation of its discs in either direction with the consequent axial oscillation of its rod and with it the percussion of the fins on the branches.
