Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour récolter les fruits des arbres en utilisant la gravité. The present invention relates to a device for harvesting fruit from trees using gravity.
Deux filets rectangulaires sont placés en hauteur de part et d'autre de l'arbre et maintenus tendus grâce à des piquets à l'extérieur. Les fruits en tombant roulent sur les filets et viennent se loger à la partie centrale des filets grâce à l'adjonction d'épingles qui permet la création d'une poche en son milieu. Two rectangular nets are placed high on either side of the tree and kept taut thanks to stakes on the outside. The falling fruits roll on the nets and are housed in the central part of the nets thanks to the addition of pins which allows the creation of a pocket in the middle.
Le ramassage des fruits (noisettes, noix, olives, pruneaux...) est traditionnellement effectué à même le sol ou sur des filets ou bâches posés à même le sol. The collection of fruit (hazelnuts, nuts, olives, prunes ...) is traditionally carried out on the ground or on nets or tarpaulins placed on the ground.
Les fruits sont donc obligatoirement ramassés à la main pour être mis ensuite dans un récipient. Dans ce cas, les fruits ont le temps de pourrir sur le sol, ou sont salis ou mangés par les oiseaux ou les rongeurs. Dans le cas des olives par exemple, si elles touchent le sol, elles donnent à l'huile un goût de terreux qui est préjudiciable à sa qualité et bien connu des professionnels. The fruits are therefore necessarily picked by hand and then put in a container. In this case, the fruits have time to rot on the ground, or are soiled or eaten by birds or rodents. In the case of olives, for example, if they touch the ground, they give the oil an earthy taste which is detrimental to its quality and well known to professionals.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.
Ci-après la description est donnée pour un seul filet. En fonction de l'implantation des arbres sur le terrain, il faudra 1 ou 2 filets en moyenne par arbre (un filet peut être à cheval sous 2 arbres ou 4 arbres différents, notamment si les troncs des arbres sont utilisés pour la fixation des filets). The description below is given for a single net. Depending on the location of the trees on the ground, it will take 1 or 2 nets on average per tree (a net can be straddled under 2 trees or 4 different trees, especially if the trunks of the trees are used for fixing the nets ).
Le dispositif est composé de : - un filet ou tout autre bâche ou drap qui peut être étendu sous un arbre. The device is made up of: - a net or any other tarpaulin or sheet which can be extended under a tree.
- 4 piquets ou plus qui permettent de maintenir le filet au sol à chaque coin à une hauteur définie. En fonction de l'implantation des arbres sur le terrain, les troncs des arbres peuvent être utilisés pour la fixation des filets. - 4 or more stakes that keep the net on the ground at each corner at a defined height. Depending on the location of the trees on the ground, the trunks of the trees can be used for fixing the nets.
- des épingles qui rapprochent 2 bords intérieurs du filet afin de former une poche en forme de gouttière sur toute la largeur du filet. La poche n'est pas obligatoirement dans l'axe du filet mais peut être désaxée en fonction de l'environnement de l'arbre. - pins which bring 2 inner edges of the net together to form a pocket in the shape of a gutter over the entire width of the net. The pocket is not necessarily in line with the net, but can be offset according to the environment of the tree.
Les épingles seront de forme définie afin de calibrer l'espace entre les bords du filet dans un but de : - laisser passer le fruit désiré pour atteindre la poche. The pins will be of defined shape in order to calibrate the space between the edges of the net in order to: - let the desired fruit pass to reach the pocket.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2> <Desc / Clms Page number 2>
- empêcher l'oiseau ou le rongeur d'accéder au fruit dans la poche. - prevent the bird or the rodent from accessing the fruit in the pocket.
Leur nombre sera fonction de la dimension des mailles et du grammage du filet car les mailles au contact des épingles auront tendance à s'allonger suite à la tension du filet nécessaire pour donner une pente et pas de pli afin que les fruits atteignent la poche. Their number will depend on the size of the meshes and the grammage of the net because the meshes in contact with the pins will tend to lengthen due to the tension of the net necessary to give a slope and no fold so that the fruits reach the pocket.
Une épingle, tous les 20 à 40 cm, suffit dans la plupart des cas. A pin, every 20 to 40 cm, is sufficient in most cases.
Leur forme aussi pourra être définie pour être en contact avec plusieurs mailles du filet afin de répartir l'effort de tension sur le filet. Their shape can also be defined to be in contact with several meshes of the net in order to distribute the tension force on the net.
Quelques cailloux ou autres objets seront posés dans la gouttière pour lester le filet sans pour autant qu'il touche le sol mais suffisamment afin de tendre le filet. Un autre moyen de tendre le filet est de maintenir les extrémités de la gouttière à une hauteur déterminée par rapport au sol. Some pebbles or other objects will be placed in the gutter to ballast the net without touching the ground but enough to tension the net. Another way to stretch the net is to keep the ends of the gutter at a certain height above the ground.
Le filet ou autre support utilisé peut être de conception actuelle connue. il pourra cependant être renforcé sur une bande de quelques dizaines de centimètres en son milieu afin : - d'être plus résistant au contact des épingles. The net or other support used may be of known current design. it can however be reinforced on a strip of a few tens of centimeters in the middle in order to: - be more resistant to contact with pins.
- de rendre plus opaque le filet ou support afin de masquer les fruits pour ne pas attirer les oiseaux ou rongeurs. - make the net or support more opaque in order to hide the fruit so as not to attract birds or rodents.
Selon une variante, les épingles peuvent être avantageusement remplacées par un petit filet à mailles plus grandes que le filet de base. Ce petit filet est fixé au filet de base de façon à lui donner une poche comme précédemment. Le petit filet est fixé par couture, agrafes ou soudure, en fonction des matières utilisées, et ce, sur ses deux grands côtés. According to a variant, the pins can advantageously be replaced by a small net with larger meshes than the basic net. This small net is attached to the basic net so as to give it a pocket as before. The small net is fixed by sewing, staples or welding, depending on the materials used, and this, on its two long sides.
Les mailles du petit filet sont déterminées pour laisser passer les fruits tout en arrêtant les feuilles, brindilles et les oiseaux ou rongeurs. Cette variante permet donc d'obtenir des fruits propres. Les feuilles et brindilles restent au-dessus du petit filet et ne peuvent pas accéder à la poche réceptacle des fruits. The meshes of the small net are determined to let the fruit pass while stopping the leaves, twigs and birds or rodents. This variant therefore makes it possible to obtain clean fruit. The leaves and twigs remain above the small net and cannot access the fruit receptacle pocket.

PLANCHE 2/2 La figure 4 représente la vue de face de la variante. BOARD 2/2 Figure 4 shows the front view of the variant.
Le filet (2) est maintenu par des piquets (3) sous l'arbre et à coté de son tronc (1). The net (2) is held by stakes (3) under the tree and next to its trunk (1).
La poche en forme de gouttière est formée grâce à des épingles (4). The gutter-shaped pocket is formed by pins (4).
Le nombre des épingles et leur forme dessinées sur les figures 2 et 3 ne sont qu'une proposition. Elles peuvent varier en fonction du maillage du filet. The number of pins and their shape drawn in Figures 2 and 3 are only a suggestion. They can vary depending on the mesh size of the net.
Illustrant la variante (figure 4), le petit filet (5) peut remplacer les épingles (4) pour former la poche réceptacle des fruits et arrêter les feuilles et brindilles. Illustrating the variant (Figure 4), the small net (5) can replace the pins (4) to form the fruit receptacle pocket and stop the leaves and twigs.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la récolte des fruits des arbres qui se ramassent : olives, noix, noisettes, mirabelles, pruneaux,... Les fruits mûrs, en tombant sur le filet, roulent jusque la gouttière et sont protégés des oiseaux et autres rongeurs. Ils sont aussi bien plus faciles à récolter. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for harvesting the fruits of trees which are gathered: olives, nuts, hazelnuts, mirabelle plums, prunes, ... Ripe fruits, falling on the net, roll up to the gutter and are protected birds and other rodents. They are also much easier to harvest.
