摘要
A mechanical citrus and other fruit picking apparatus is defined with an improved method of picking fruit, using finger assemblies with tension producing and tension reducing abilities, with finger members protruding at intervals from sides of tubular arms. Arms are mounted on metal base frame that can be attached to various types of tractors or other propelling equipment. As arms of apparatus enter through limbs and foliage into tree, said fingers depress, then reposition to correct angle for picking fruit. Any said arm retracts upon any impact with larger limb. As apparatus is withdrawn from tree, said fingers engage stems of fruit, bringing fruit up into intersection of said arm and said finger, whereby pressure of said finger against stem causes separation of fruit from stem. During the backward motion, smaller limbs and leaves are pulled up and over the special shaping and slippery surface of said finger. The tension reduction device allows said finger to slip over larger limbs.
