Description

  The present invention relates to a fruit picker for use in fruit picking operations such as apples, pears, and prunes, in which a plurality of fruit patterns with young fruit at the tip are tufted onto a branch of a fruit tree.

In the growth process of apples, pears, prunes, etc., as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of fruit patterns 20 with young fruits 22 at the tips are formed into tufts on the branches 24 of the fruit tree.
In that case, the fruit pattern 20 with the fruit 22 which becomes the center of its growth is left, and a plurality of fruit patterns 20 with the fruit in the same bunch are left in the middle. It is cut and removed from the part using a fruit trap. This work is called fruit picking work.
The fruit picking operation is performed to grow the fruit 22 as the center into a large and good fruit and to protect the fruit tree.

  As the fruit picker that performs this fruit picking operation, a picker called a horizontal picket is generally used. Then, using the cocoons, cut multiple pieces of tufts attached to the branches of the fruit tree one by one from the middle, leaving one fruit handle with the young fruit at the center. , Have been removed.

  However, since several fruit trees are attached to one fruit tree, the fruit pattern with those young fruit leaves the fruit pattern with the young fruit at the center, as described above. When cutting and removing one piece at a time using a horizontal punch, a great deal of labor and labor were required. In particular, in orchards where a large number of fruit trees are planted, the number of cuts and removals of the fruits with the young fruit to be picked up is a large astronomical number, and for fruit farmers, fruit picking Work was the biggest bottleneck that hindered the rationalization of fruit tree cultivation.

Examples of solutions for solving such difficulties include a fruit picker described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 05-55851, and a jar described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-58606.

  However, neither the fruit candy or the cocoon described in the above-mentioned publication is generally widely used because of its poor usability or troublesome handling.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and is a fruit picker that is easy to use, easy to handle, easy to handle, and can be used by anyone. The purpose is to provide a fruit picker that can be cut and removed from the middle part of multiple fruit patterns with fruit, leaving one fruit pattern with a good center of growth. It is said.

In order to achieve such an object, the fruit picker of the present invention has two upper and lower ridges having a blade portion inside the tip, and is pivotally supported at the substantially central portion thereof, so that the two pieces In the case where the tip of the leopard pattern is used in a state where the tips of the leopard pattern are opened in a V shape or overlapped with each other,
The tips of the upper and lower two hooks having the blade portion are both curved and formed in an arc shape with substantially the same curvature on the same one side in the plane in which the hook is rotated, It is characterized in that it is provided with a space for escaping the fruit pattern to be left on the outer side of the tip of the leopard pattern.

By adopting such a structure for the fruit pods as described above, a plurality of fruit patterns with juveniles, which are tufted on the branches of the fruit tree as described above, become the fruit that is the center of good growth. When one fruit pattern with a mark is left and cut and removed from the middle part, the fruit pattern with one young fruit left uncut is curved to the outside of the plucking basket. It can arrange | position in the space provided in the outer side part of the leopard head. At the same time, the other two stalks with the berries in the same bunches to be cut and removed are divided into two top and bottom stalks with blades that are opened in a V-shape of the picking cocoon. It can be placed in the tip inner space.
Next, the tips of the upper and lower two cocoon handles having the edge portion of the fruit pod opened in a substantially V shape can be closed so as to overlap each other. And by the blade part provided inside the tip inner side of the upper and lower two cocoon handles, the same tuft arranged in the tip inner space of the upper and lower two cocoon handle of the fruit picker opened in a substantially V shape. It can cut and remove a plurality of fruit patterns with young fruit at once from the middle part.
That is, when performing fruit picking, one fruit handle with the young fruit to be left is placed in a space provided in the outer part of the tip of one spear pattern that curves to the outside of the fruit picking pad, Just place multiple fruit handles with young fruits in the same bunch on the same bunch just by placing them in the space inside the tips of the upper and lower 2 bunch handles, which are opened in the shape of a V It is possible to easily and quickly cut and remove multiple fruit patterns with young fruit at once without leaving a single fruit pattern with a young fruit at the center and without having to spend time and effort. .
Further, since the blade portion at the tip of the handle pattern is curved, a distant handle can be easily cut from the front without turning the hand.

The fruit picker according to the present invention preferably has a structure in which a plurality of recesses or a plurality of vertical grooves are provided side by side on one of the blades inside the two handle tips.
And, as described above, the fruit pattern with juveniles formed in the bunches on the branches of the fruit tree, other than the one fruit pattern with the central juvenile to be left uncut, and other When two or more fruit handles attached to the same bunches are sandwiched between the two tip ends of the blade handle with the blade portion and cut at a time, the plurality of handles are sandwiched and cut inside the tip portions of the two handle tips. It is good to make it the state which hooked the fruit handle to the several recessed part or several vertical groove provided in the blade part inside a leopard pattern front end. Then, one or more of the plurality of fruit handles sandwiched between the two tip ends of the handle pattern slide on the blade provided inside the tip end of the handle pattern toward the tip. Thus, it is better to prevent the two upper and lower leashes from slipping out from the tip inside. And it is good to prevent that it becomes impossible to cut | disconnect and remove the fruit pattern which slipped out to the tip of the handle by the blade part provided inside the tip of the handle.

As explained above, according to the fruit picking jar of the present invention, a plurality of fruit patterns with young fruits in the same bunch are left, leaving one fruit pattern with the young fruit at the center. Can be cut and removed easily and quickly at one time without trouble and time.
In addition, when performing fruit picking, one fruit handle with the young fruit left without being cut is placed in a space provided at the outer part of the tip of one of the flower stems that curves to the outside of the fruit trap. At the same time, it is only necessary to place multiple fruit handles with young fruits in the same bunch in the space inside the tips of the two upper and lower cocoon patterns, which are opened in a substantially V-shape of the fruit pickle, Anyone can easily use, easy to use, and easy to handle.
