Devices for the removal of fruits and berries
Fruits from high crowns are removed with the help of industrial harvesters. However, the industry so far can not meet the demand of amateur gardeners. Therefore, a well-known variety of self-made structures.
For example, at the fruit picker, ring 1 is made from a 1 liter can. In the holes drilled in the ring, insert the U-shaped pins from the wire 5. The upper ends of the studs are bent near the ring, through which a strong cord or a thick fishing net is stretched. In cell 3, which was formed from pins, trap an apple and pull the cord 2.
The upper edge of the cell converges. The device is pulled down. The fruit tears off and falls into the pouch, tightly attached to the lower part of the ring. This construction can be simplified by applying ring 4 instead of cell 3. Gardeners also use the device shown in Figure 1b. The scissors 1 are brought under the peduncle of an apple or pear, then press the lever 7. The force through the cable 4 is transferred to the lever 3. The scissors are triggered, the stem is cut, the fruit passes through the receiving cup 2 into the sleeve 6 and slowly slides downward. It is important to choose the right sleeve, because a gentle crust of a pear is very easy to damage. The hose is made from a mesh or elastic fabric, or much smaller than the average diameter of the fruit. On such a sleeve the pear will fall into the palm of the collector unscathed.
Homemade puller is very convenient for collecting tender pears, since the height of the fall of the fruit from the knife 1 into the pouch of fabric 5 is quite insignificant. It is not difficult to manufacture it. The knife 1 is nailed to the pole 4 at an angle of 45 њ. Knives are made from plates 2 or in the form of a knife-gripper 3. Such a device can also collect cherries and cherries.

Some amateur gardeners use a loop device to collect sea-buckthorn. The fruits are torn off with the help of eyelets 3, which are made from a fishing line with a diameter of 0.6 to 1 mm. It is carefully glued to the wide end of the handle 1 with adhesive tape. During operation, the eyelet is placed on a branch and is also scaled.
Another extremely simple device for collecting sea-buckthorn is a spring hook. The collector brings it to the branch so that it is squeezed between the ends of the hook. After this, the fruit along with the foliage is removed along its path.
From the movable 1 and immovable 2 hooks, and also from the handle 3 with a spring, another similar device is made. The collector pulls back the hook 1 and winds the branch between the hooks so that they grab it. Then, after one or two movements of the device along the branch, it removes the fruits that fall into the basket.
During picking of gooseberries, thorns on its branches painfully hurt the hands, hinder and reduce the productivity of the work. Therefore, some of the gardeners make for this work device with a special scoop. Bucket made from tin (better white), the size is in the picture (they can be other). In places indicated by the dotted line, the workpiece is bent. The finished scoop is fixed on a wooden handle. The collector brings the scales of the scoop to the branch of the bush and moves it along it. Cuttings of berries of gooseberries, falling into the cavities between the teeth, come off the branch, and the fruits fall into the scoop.
A pickpocket for picking gooseberries of industrial production can collect for an hour 4-5 kg of ripe but still firm berries and 8-10 kg of fully ripe berries.
