Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de collecte de fruits portés par un arbre. Ce dispositif est notamment adapté à la collecte des olives. The present invention relates to a device for collecting fruits carried by a tree. This device is particularly suitable for collecting olives.
La cueillette des fruits poussant sur un arbre se fait généralement soit en montant sur une échelle et en cueillant les fruits à la main pour les transférer directement dans un panier, soit en provoquant par secouage ou peignage de l'arbre la chute des fruits sur le sol ou sur un filet étalé au pied de l'arbre puis en ramassant ou en rassemblant ensuite ces fruits. Picking fruit growing on a tree is generally done either by climbing a ladder and picking the fruit by hand to transfer it directly into a basket, or by shaking or combing the tree to cause the fruit to fall onto the soil or on a net spread out at the foot of the tree and then collecting or gathering these fruits.
La première méthode de cueillette demande beaucoup de temps et de main d'oeuvre, tandis que la seconde méthode de cueillette présente l'inconvénient de provoquer l'endommagement des fruits par leur impact sur le sol et de nécessiter une opération de collecte des fruits tombés. The first picking method requires a lot of time and manpower, while the second picking method has the disadvantage of causing damage to the fruits by their impact on the ground and requiring an operation to collect fallen fruit. .
On connaît des entonnoirs rigides adaptables sur un réceptacle, mais le tronc de l'arbre empêche une disposition de l'entonnoir exactement à l'aplomb de l'arbre, de sorte que l'entonnoir ne couvre qu'une surface réduite sous l'arbre. Il faut donc régulièrement déplacer sous l'arbre le réceptacle muni de son entonnoir au fur et à mesure de la collecte, ce qui allonge la durée de l'opération. Rigid funnels are known which can be adapted to a receptacle, but the trunk of the tree prevents the funnel from being placed exactly below the tree, so that the funnel covers only a small area under the tree. It is therefore necessary to regularly move the receptacle provided with its funnel under the tree as and when it is collected, which lengthens the duration of the operation.
Par ailleurs, on connaît du document FR-A-2 730 127 un dispositif de collecte de fruits comportant un châssis muni de panneaux latéraux qui sont pourvus de filets et sont déployables de part et d'autre du tronc de l'arbre vers une position horizontale pour recueillir les fruits lors de leur chute. Les panneaux sont ensuite redressés, afin d'entraîner les fruits ainsi collectés par les panneaux vers un entonnoir de remplissage d'un réceptacle des fruits. Un tel dispositif permet de supprimer l'opération de ramassage au sol, mais fait appel à une structure articulée complexe, donc onéreuse à produire. Furthermore, document FR-A-2 730 127 discloses a fruit collection device comprising a frame provided with side panels which are provided with nets and can be deployed on either side of the trunk of the tree towards a position horizontal to collect the fruits when they fall. The panels are then straightened, in order to entrain the fruits thus collected by the panels towards a funnel for filling a receptacle for the fruits. Such a device makes it possible to eliminate the ground pickup operation, but uses a complex articulated structure, therefore expensive to produce.
L'invention vise à proposer un dispositif de collecte simple, permettant une collecte rapide. The invention aims to provide a simple collection device, allowing rapid collection.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2> <Desc / Clms Page number 2>
Selon l'invention, on prévoit un dispositif de collecte de fruits tombant d'un arbre, comprenant un châssis équipé d'un logement pour un réceptacle amovible de fruits dont une ouverture supérieure est prolongée par un entonnoir de paroi latérale en filets, divergente depuis le réceptacle jusqu'à une ouverture de collecte, au moins une partie de la paroi latérale de l'entonnoir étant déformable latéralement. According to the invention, there is provided a device for collecting fruit falling from a tree, comprising a frame equipped with a housing for a removable receptacle for fruit, an upper opening of which is extended by a side wall funnel made of nets, divergent from the receptacle up to a collection opening, at least part of the side wall of the funnel being deformable laterally.
En forçant le dispositif de collecte contre l'arbre, l'entonnoir se déforme progressivement afin de permettre le positionnement du dispositif au plus près du tronc de l'arbre. La surface de chute des fruits sous l'arbre est ainsi être entièrement couverte en plaçant le dispositif dans un nombre restreint de positions autour de l'arbre, ce qui concourt à accélérer la collecte. By forcing the collection device against the tree, the funnel gradually deforms to allow positioning of the device as close as possible to the trunk of the tree. The drop surface of the fruit under the tree is thus fully covered by placing the device in a limited number of positions around the tree, which contributes to accelerating the collection.
De préférence, au moins une portion de l'ouverture de collecte est élastiquement déformable. On assure ainsi simplement la déformabilité de l'entonnoir. Preferably, at least a portion of the collection opening is elastically deformable. This simply ensures the deformability of the funnel.
L'armature de l'entonnoir comporte avantageusement quatre montants montés sur le châssis pour s'étendre selon des arêtes d'un pyramide inversée. On réalise simplement un entonnoir à large ouverture. L'armature de cet entonnoir est prévue démontable, permettant ainsi le transport du dispositif dans un véhicule. The frame of the funnel advantageously comprises four uprights mounted on the chassis to extend along the edges of an inverted pyramid. We simply make a wide opening funnel. The frame of this funnel is designed to be removable, thus allowing the device to be transported in a vehicle.
Le châssis est de préférence pourvu, à la manière d'une brouette, d'au moins une roue avant, d'au moins un pied arrière et d'au moins un brancard de manoeuvre, pour faciliter son déplacement. The chassis is preferably provided, like a wheelbarrow, at least one front wheel, at least one rear leg and at least one maneuvering stretcher, to facilitate its movement.
Le châssis présente un marchepied pour permettre au cueilleur d'accéder aux branches hautes de l'arbre. The frame has a step to allow the picker to access the high branches of the tree.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation particulier non limitatif de l'invention. Il sera fait référence à l'unique figure du dessin annexé, représentant en perspec- Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of a particular non-limiting embodiment of the invention. Reference will be made to the single figure in the appended drawing, representing in perspective

tive un dispositif selon l'invention en position d'utilisation contre un arbre fruitier. tive a device according to the invention in the position of use against a fruit tree.
Un dispositif selon l'invention comporte un châssis 1 réalisé en tubes soudés et comportant une partie avant équipée de roues 2 de diamètre adéquat pour faciliter l'utilisation du dispositif sur des sols difficiles, et une partie arrière munie de pieds 3. Chaque pied 3 comporte une semelle 4 de taille assez importante pour éviter l'enfoncement du pied associé, en particulier dans un sol meuble. En vue de faciliter la manoeuvre du dispositif, le châssis 1 est muni sur sa partie arrière de brancards de manoeuvre 5, à la manière d'une brouette. Pour favoriser la stabilité du dispositif sur un sol accidenté, on pourra en variante ne prévoir qu'un seul pied pour deux roues, ou une seule roue pour deux pieds. A device according to the invention comprises a chassis 1 made of welded tubes and comprising a front part equipped with wheels 2 of adequate diameter to facilitate the use of the device on difficult soils, and a rear part provided with feet 3. Each foot 3 has a sole 4 of a fairly large size to prevent the associated foot from sinking, in particular in loose soil. In order to facilitate the operation of the device, the chassis 1 is provided on its rear part with operating stretchers 5, in the manner of a wheelbarrow. To promote the stability of the device on uneven ground, it may alternatively provide only one foot for two wheels, or one wheel for two feet.
Le châssis 1 comporte un support central formant logement 6 d'un réceptacle 7 de fruits, par exemple un cageot. Le châssis 1 présente une ouverture latérale d'accès au logement 6 permettant de placer et retirer le réceptacle 7 sur le logement 6 en cours d'utilisation du dispositif. The chassis 1 comprises a central support forming a housing 6 of a receptacle 7 of fruit, for example a crate. The chassis 1 has a lateral opening for access to the housing 6 making it possible to place and remove the receptacle 7 on the housing 6 during use of the device.
A l'aplomb du réceptacle 7 se trouve le goulot d'un entonnoir 9 porté par le châssis 1 et formé par un filet 11 tendu sur une armature, composée ici de quatre montants 10 fixés sur le châssis 1 pour s'étendre selon les arêtes d'une pyramide inversée. Le filet 11 et les montants 10 de l'armature 9 sont démontables, en vue de permettre le transport du dispositif dans un véhicule ou de faciliter son stockage. Plumb with the receptacle 7 is the neck of a funnel 9 carried by the frame 1 and formed by a net 11 stretched over a frame, here composed of four uprights 10 fixed on the frame 1 to extend along the edges of an inverted pyramid. The net 11 and the uprights 10 of the frame 9 are removable, in order to allow the transport of the device in a vehicle or to facilitate its storage.
L'entonnoir 9 présente un bord périphérique extérieur définissant une ouverture de collecte 12 de l'entonnoir 9, cette ouverture étant tournée vers le ciel. The funnel 9 has an outer peripheral edge defining a collection opening 12 of the funnel 9, this opening being turned towards the sky.
Au moins une portion 14 de l'ouverture de collecte 12 est prévue élastiquement déformable, de façon que quand le dispositif est forcé contre un tronc d'un arbre référencé 8 At least a portion 14 of the collection opening 12 is provided elastically deformable, so that when the device is forced against a trunk of a tree referenced 8
<Desc/Clms Page number 4><Desc / Clms Page number 4>
sur la figure, la portion élastique 14 en contact avec l'arbre 8 se déforme progressivement pour s'effacer et per- mettre l'approche du châssis 1 sous l'arbre 8 au plus près de son tronc. L'entonnoir 9 est alors déformé latéralement, et la surface de réception qu'offre l'entonnoir 9 sous l'arbre présente des extensions latérales 13 de part et d'autre du tronc de l'arbre, de façon à collecter un maximum de fruits. Afin que la portion 14 de l'ouverture de collecte 12 puisse se déformer, on prévoit que la partie du filet qui lui est solidaire est également élastique. in the figure, the elastic portion 14 in contact with the shaft 8 is gradually deformed to disappear and allow the approach of the frame 1 under the shaft 8 as close as possible to its trunk. The funnel 9 is then deformed laterally, and the receiving surface provided by the funnel 9 under the tree has lateral extensions 13 on either side of the trunk of the tree, so as to collect a maximum of fruits. So that the portion 14 of the collection opening 12 can deform, it is provided that the part of the net which is integral with it is also elastic.
Il suffit alors au cueilleur de faire tomber les fruits portés par les branches de l'arbre 8 surplombant l'entonnoir 9 ainsi disposé, par exemple en passant dans les branches un outil en forme de peigne. Les fruits tombent alors directement dans l'entonnoir 9 qui les canalise vers le réceptacle 7 situé sous l'entonnoir 9. It is then sufficient for the picker to drop the fruits carried by the branches of the tree 8 overhanging the funnel 9 thus arranged, for example by passing through the branches a tool in the form of a comb. The fruits then fall directly into the funnel 9 which channels them towards the receptacle 7 located under the funnel 9.
Pour permettre au cueilleur d'atteindre les branches hautes de l'arbre 8, le châssis 1 est équipé d'un marchepied 15. To allow the picker to reach the upper branches of the shaft 8, the chassis 1 is equipped with a step 15.
En variante non représentée, on envisage que la portion 14 déformable de l'ouverture de collecte 12 soit faite d'une corde lâche. La tension de la corde s'obtient alors par l'appui du dispositif sur l'arbre. On envisage également d'utiliser des montants 10 flexibles avec un bord de l'ouverture de collecte 12 non élastique, en vue d'obtenir d'une autre façon la déformation latérale de l'entonnoir 9. In a variant not shown, it is envisaged that the deformable portion 14 of the collection opening 12 is made of a loose rope. The tension of the rope is then obtained by pressing the device on the shaft. It is also envisaged to use flexible uprights 10 with an edge of the non-elastic collection opening 12, in order to obtain in another way the lateral deformation of the funnel 9.
Bien que le châssis 1 soit ici réalisé en tubes soudés, on envisage de façon équivalente une structure tubulaire assemblée, une structure en tôles embouties puis soudées ou rivetées, ou plus généralement tout autre type de structure. Although the frame 1 is here made of welded tubes, an equivalent tubular structure is envisaged, a structure of stamped sheets then welded or riveted, or more generally any other type of structure.
Bien que l'on ait prévu des montants 10 démontables, ceux-ci pourront être simplement fixés sur le châssis 1, ou encore repliables le long de celle-ci. Although provision has been made for removable uprights 10, these can simply be fixed to the chassis 1, or even foldable along the latter.
<Desc/Clms Page number 5> <Desc / Clms Page number 5>
Bien que l'on ait indiqué que l'entonnoir 9 comprend un filet, on envisage alternativement l'utilisation d'une toile. Although it has been indicated that the funnel 9 comprises a net, the use of a canvas is considered in turn.
