Description

TITLE Hand-held harvesting tool.
TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a hand-held harvesting tool for agricultural or horticultural applications. In particular, the invention relates to a hand-held harvesting tool for harvesting agricultural or horticultural fruits with a disinfecting functionality, thus minimizing contamination and the spread of harmful fungi, viruses and bacteria.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In horticulture and agriculture, in particular in greenhouse horticulture, various plants are planted and guided upwards along binding wires, etc. providing so- called hanging fruits to be harvest. Examples of hanging fruits are cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants, or bell pepper fruits. Such plants, in particular in greenhouse horticulture, can be affected by various viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests and require specific precautions during harvesting by hand. There is a need for a hand-held harvesting tool, which is easy to implement in an ergonomic manner by harvesting personnel and which prevents or minimizes contamination and spread of such viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to a first aspect of the disclosure a hand-held harvesting tool for harvesting fruits is proposed, the hand-held harvesting tool comprising an elongated gripper handle comprising a gripper section arranged for allowing a user to hold the hand- held harvesting tool, a knife element arranged to be connected to the elongated gripper handle under an obtuse angle relative to the gripper section and a disinfection reservoir for accommodating a disinfecting liquid agent, the disinfection reservoir being arranged to be connected to the elongated gripper handle at a side of the knife element opposite the gripper section and arranged for dosing disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element. Such hand-held harvesting tool has a simple construction and is easy to implement in an ergonomic manner by harvesting personnel without the risk of wrist injuries. Moreover, the specific orientation of the knife element and the disinfection reservoir relative to the gripper handle guarantees an effective dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element during harvesting, thus preventing or minimizing any contamination and spread of viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests to both the plants and the harvested fruits.
In a further advantageous example, the knife element is arranged to be connected to the elongated gripper handle at a substantially perpendicular angle relative to the gripper section, and preferably the angle is in the range between 75° and 105°, preferably between 85° and 95°, more in preferably 90°.
Herewith, an ergonomic handling of the hand-held harvesting tool is guaranteed with reduced risk of wrist injuries. Furthermore, the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element is guaranteed due to earth gravity, further minimizing contamination and spread of viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests Preferably, the gripper handle is provided with a slit for accommodating the knife element. This allows for an easy exchange of the knife element in the event of bluntness or damage.
In an advantageous example of the hand-held harvesting tool the knife element comprises one blade, whereas in another example the knife element is a scissor comprising two blades, which are movable with respect to each other. Both example are useful for harvesting purposes, with the scissor embodiment being able to cut through thicker branches or twigs when harvesting fruits.
In particular, one movable blade of the scissor is arranged in temporarily obstructing the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent from the disinfection reservoir. Herewith the dosing can be controlled and unnecessary spilling or overdosing of disinfecting liquid agent is prevented.
In the latter scissor example, the gripper section is provided with actuating means for actuating the scissor blades with respect to each other.
In a further example, the knife element is provided with a roughened surface texture, in particular the knife element is provided with one or more surface grooves. A roughened surface texture or surface grooves allows for an improved distribution of the disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element, thus providing a continuous disinfected blade surface during harvesting.
Preferably, the gripper handle comprises a mounting element for removably connecting the disinfection reservoir, allowing the disinfection reservoir to be replaced for cleaning or refilling purposes.
To promote the dosing of the disinfecting liquid agent from the disinfection reservoir towards the knife element a dosing bore extends through the mounting element from the disinfection reservoir towards a blade surface of the knife element. In particular, the mounting element and the disinfection reservoir are removably connected with each other by means of a screw thread, or a quick-release coupling.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will now be discussed with reference to the drawings, which show in: Figures 1A-1C views of an example of an example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure; Figure 2 a further detail of an example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure; Figures 3 further detail of an example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure; Figure 4A and 4B further details of an example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure; Figures 5 further detail of an example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure; Figures 6A-6B another example of a hand-held harvesting tool according to the disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION For a proper understanding of the invention, in the detailed description below corresponding elements or parts of the invention will be denoted with identical reference numerals in the drawings.
In horticulture and agriculture, in particular in greenhouse horticulture, various plants are planted and guided upwards along binding wires, etc. providing so- called hanging fruits to be harvest. Examples of hanging fruits are cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants, or bell pepper fruits. Such plants, in particular in greenhouse horticulture, can be affected by various viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests and require specific precautions during harvesting by hand. There is a need for a hand-held harvesting tool, which is easy to implement in an ergonomic manner by harvesting personnel and which prevents or minimizes contamination and spread of such viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests. A first example of such hand-held harvesting tool for harvesting fruits is shown in Figures 1A-1C and denoted with reference numeral 10. The hand-held harvesting tool 10 is composed of a gripper handle 11 having an elongated configuration. The gripper handle 11 has a gripper section 12, which allows a user to hold the hand-held harvesting tool 10 properly in one hand. The hand-held harvesting tool 10 is also provided with a knife element 13. In this example of Figure 1A-1C and in more detail in Figures 5A-5C, the knife element 13 consist of one, single knife blade 13c having a free blade end 13b and another blade end 13a connected to the elongated gripper handle 11. As shown in the Figures, the knife element 13 is connected under an obtuse angle relative to the gripper section 12, in particular under an obtuse angel relative to a longitudinal direction of the gripper section 12 and accordingly also under an obtuse angel relative to a longitudinal direction of the gripper handle 11. In this specification, with an obtuse angle is meant an angle between a longitudinal direction of the knife element 13 (or blade of the knife element) and a longitudinal direction of the gripper section 12 / gripper handle 11. In particular, the knife element 13 is connected to the elongated gripper handle 11 at a substantially perpendicular angle relative to the gripper section 12, and preferably the obtuse or substantial perpendicular angle is in the range between 75° and 105°, preferably between 85° and 95°, more in preferably 90°. Herewith, the design of a hand-held harvesting tool with a gripper handle and a knife element oriented under an obtuse angle or a substantially perpendicular angle relative to each other provides more comfort to the user. Its use during harvesting is much simpler and the handling of the tool for harvesting hanging fruits, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc. is more ergonomic with reduced risk of wrist injuries. Additionally, reference numeral 14 denotes a disinfection reservoir for accommodating a disinfecting liquid agent (the latter is not shown). The disinfection reservoir 14 is shown in more detail in Figure 3 and is arranged to be connected to the elongated gripper handle 11 at a side of the knife element 13 opposite the gripper section
12. The disinfection reservoir 14 is structured or arranged for dosing disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element 13.
Furthermore, due to the design of the hand-held harvesting tool 10 according to Figures 1A-1C, the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element 13 is guaranteed due to earth gravity, further minimizing contamination and spread of viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests.
5 This phenomenon of dosing of disinfecting liquid agent due to earth gravity is caused by the design of the hand-held harvesting tool 10, as the user — when handling the hand-held harvesting tool 10 during harvesting — will hold the gripper handle 11 in a more or less vertical orientation with the second end 12b of the gripper section 12 pointing downward to the earth surface and the first end 12a of the gripper section 12 pointing upwards (heavenwards). Accordingly, the blade of the knife element 13 will be oriented in a more or less horizontal plane. This allows the user to perform cutting actions for cutting branches or twigs and subsequently harvesting hanging fruits in a simple, yet ergonomic beneficial manner with a limited risk for wrist, elbow or shoulder injuries.
Likewise, due to the design, the disinfection reservoir 14 is mounted to the gripper handle 11 of the hand-held harvesting tool 10 at a side of the knife element 13 opposite the gripper section 12. Looking in vertical orientation - when the hand-held harvesting tool 10 is handheld by a user and the gripper section 12 is oriented vertical — the disinfection reservoir 14 is positioned above (higher) than the knife element 13 allowing a simple dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the blade surface 13c of the knife element 13.
Thus, next to the ergonomic benefit for harvesting personnel with minimum risk of wrist injuries, the design of the specific orientation of the knife element 13 and the disinfection reservoir 14 relative to the gripper handle 11 guarantees an effective dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element 13 during harvesting. Accordingly, any contamination and spread of viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests to both the plants and the harvested fruits is prevented or minimized.
Preferably, the gripper handle 11 is provided with a slit 152 for accommodating the knife element 13. This allows for an easy exchange of the knife element 13 in the event of bluntness or damage.
In a preferred example of the hand-held harvesting tool 10 as shown in Figures 1-5, the knife element 13 comprises one blade 13c.
As stipulated, the gripper handle 11 can be provided at the first gripper/handle end 12a with a slit 152 for accommodating the knife element 13 for exchanging purposes, in the event of bluntness or damage.
To further facilitate the exchange of the knife element 13 the gripper handle 11 is composed of the gripper section 12 as well as a mounting element 15 (see Figures
4A and 4B). The mounting element 15 is structured to be mounted to the first gripper/handle end 12a. To this end, the mounting element 15 is provided with a flat mounting surface 150a, which can be placed in an abutting manner to a corresponding mounting surface 120a of (the first end 12a) of the gripper section 12. Accordingly, both the mounting surface 120a and the mounting surface 150a are provided with cooperating and aligning mounting openings 121a-121b and 154a-154b, through which suitable bolts and nuts (158/159a; 158b/159b) can be fitted.
The mounting element 15 is provided with a slit 152 in which the knife element 13 can be mounted with its first blade first end 13a for exchanging purposes.
Accordingly, the first blade end 13a of knife element 13 is provided with a mounting opening 130 (see also Figure 5A-5C), which aligns with the mounting openings 121a and 154a. This allows the knife element 13 to be fitted in an unmovable manner within the slit 152 using a bolt 158a passing through the mounting openings 121a-130-154a and securing the three parts (mounting element 15, knife element 13 and gripper section 12) with a nut 159a.
The mounting element 15 is furthermore structured to removably connect the disinfection reservoir 14 with the hand-held harvesting tool 10, also allowing the disinfection reservoir 14 to be replaced for cleaning or refilling purposes. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the mounting element 15 is provided with a connecting end 15a.
Combined with Figure 3, the connecting end 15a serves to accommodate a corresponding connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14.
The disinfection reservoir 14 (Figure 3) has a spatial configuration formed by a disinfection reservoir wall 140, which encloses an inner space 141 in which a certain amount of disinfecting liquid agent can be accommodated (for example by means of pouring through the connecting end 14a).
The inner dimensions of the connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14 more or less conform the outer dimensions of the connecting end 15a of the mounting element 15. For example, both the mounting element 15 and the disinfection reservoir 14 can removably connected with each other by means of a screw thread provided on both the outer surface 150b of the connecting end 15a of the mounting element 15 and the inner surface 140a of the connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14.
In another example the connection between both the mounting element 15 and the disinfection reservoir 14 can be achieved by means of a quick-release coupling or by means of a tight-fit coupling. In the latter example, the outer surface 150b of the connecting end 15a of the mounting element 15 can be provided with one or more (e.g. two) circumferential slits 156 in which sealing O-rings (not depicted) can be accommodated. The sealing O-rings abut against the inner surface 140a of the connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14 and provide a leak-proof connection during use of the hand-held harvesting tool 10-10.
In Figures 4A-4B reference numeral 151 denotes an inner channel of the mounting element 15, in particular of the connecting end 15a. The inner channel 151 is in fluid connection with the inner space 141 of the disinfection reservoir 14, when connected with the mounting element 15. The inner channel 151 furthermore communicates with a first bore opening 153a of a dosing bore 153, which dosing bore 153 runs through the mounting element 15. The dosing bore 153 exits with its second bore opening 153b just near the mounting slit 152 but opposite the gripper section 12.
In particular, the dosing bore 153 exits with its second bore opening 153b just above the mounting slit 152 seen in vertical orientation, when the hand-held harvesting tool 10-10 is properly held by a user.
Accordingly, with a knife element 13 being accommodated and secured in the mounting slit 152, disinfecting liquid agent accommodated in the disinfecting reservoir 14 can be dosed via the inner channel 151 and through the dosing bore 153 towards the knife element 13 under the influence of earth gravity. The disinfecting liquid agent will exit the dosing bore 153 via the second bore opening 153b and will be directly distributed across the blade surface of the knife element 13. When properly handled by a user, the blade surface of the knife element 13 will extend substantially in a horizontal plane, allowing proper and lasting distribution of the disinfecting liquid agent across its blade surface.
To prevent the creation of vacuum within the inner space 141 of the disinfecting reservoir 14 during dosing of disinfecting liquid agent, a de-airing or venting channel 142 is provided, allowing the entrance of air via inlet opening 142a into the disinfecting reservoir 14 via outlet opening 142b and equalizing/levelling of (atmospheric) pressure both outside and inside the disinfecting reservoir 14.
For controlling the outflow dose of disinfecting liquid agent through the dosing bore 153 a dose setting element 157 is provided within a setting opening 155, which communicates with the dosing bore 153. The dose setting element 157 can be a screw interacting with an internal screw thread provided in the setting opening 155. Through screwing, the position of the dose setting element 157 within the setting opening 155 and the dosing bore 153 can adjusted and accordingly the flow through opening of the dosing bore 153.
Figures BA-6B show another example of a hand-held harvesting tool 10’, wherein the knife element is a scissor 13° comprising two blades 131a-131b, which are movable with respect to each other. For example, one blade 131a is accommodated in a fixer, unmovable manner in a slit 152 of the gripper handle 11°, whereas the other blade 131b is pivotable or hangable connected with the fixed blade 131a around a pivot point
132. However, in another example, both blades 131a-131b can be pivoted around pivot point 133.
Figures B8A-6B furthermore shows actuating means 132, which are mounted to or accommodated in the gripper handle 11°. In this particular example, the actuating means 132 are part of the gripper handle 11° and formed by two handle parts 132a-132b which can pivot with respect to each other around pivot point 133. The gripper handle 11° has a gripper section 12, which allows an user to hold the hand-held harvesting tool 10° properly in one hand. The actuating means 132 are structured — upon actuation by the hand of the user holding the hand-held harvesting tool 10’ — to displace or pivot the scissor blade 131a-131b relative to each other, thus creating a cutting action. The actuating means 132 comprise a spring element 132c allowing the two handle parts 132a-132b to move away from each other upon releasing by the hand of the user holding the hand-held harvesting tool 10’.
As shown in Figures 6A-6B, the disinfection reservoir 14 is connected to the gripper handle 11°, for example to the mounting element 15, at a side of the knife element/scissor 13’ opposite the gripper section 12. As in the other example of the hand- held harvesting tool 10, the disinfection reservoir 14 of Figures 6a-6b has a spatial configuration formed by a disinfection reservoir wall 140, which encloses an inner space 141 in which a certain amount of disinfecting liquid agent can be accommodated (for example by means of pouring through the connecting end 14a).
The inner dimensions of the connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14 more or less conform the outer dimensions of the connecting end 15a of the mounting element 15. For example, both the mounting element 15 and the disinfection reservoir 14 can removably connected with each other by means of a screw thread provided on both the outer surface 150b of the connecting end 15a of the mounting element 15 and the inner surface 140a of the connecting end 14a of the disinfection reservoir 14.
In another example the connection between both the mounting element 15 and the disinfection reservoir 14 can be achieved by means of a quick-release coupling or by means of a tight-fit coupling.
The disinfection reservoir 14 is structured or arranged for dosing disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element/scissor 13’, and more in particular to one of the knife blades 131a or 131b. Similar as with the first example of the hand-held harvesting tool 10 according to e.g. Figures 1A-1C, the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent on the knife element/scissor 13’ is guaranteed due to earth gravity, further minimizing contamination and spread of viruses, fungi, bacteria and pests.
The hand-held harvesting tool 10° of the example of Figures 6A-6B is provided with a dosing nozzle or dosing opening 160 being interconnected with the disinfection reservoir 14 via first nozzle end 161a through which disinfecting liquid agent is dosed through dripping via second nozzle end 161b on the knife blade 131a. The dosing nozzle or dosing opening 160 (161b) is temporarily closed by the movable blade 131a of the scissor 13’ in the event of non-activation through the actuating means 132 (132a- 132b). The dosing nozzle or dosing opening 160 is part of the gripper handle 11’ in particular part of the mounting plate 15.
Thus, the movable blade 131a is arranged in obstructing the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent at least partly from the disinfection reservoir 14, and by actuating the actuating means 132 (132a-132b) the movable blade 131a pivots around the pivot point 133, thereby fully opening or liberating or releasing the second nozzle end 161b and thus allowing the dosing of disinfecting liquid agent from the disinfection reservoir 14 through dripping on the blade 131a.
Both examples of the hand-held harvesting tool 10 and 10’ of Figures 1A- 1C and Figures 8A-6B are useful for harvesting purposes, with the scissor embodiment 10° being able to cut through thicker branches or twigs when harvesting fruits.
For both examples of the hand-held harvesting tools 10 and 10’, the blades 13-131a-131b of the knife elements 13-13’ can be straight blades. In another advantageous example, as shown in Figure 6B, the blades 131a-131b of the knife element 13’ can be provided with a curvature 131c allowing the free tips of both blades 131a-131b to point away from the fruit to be harvest, thus avoiding damage during harvesting.
For both examples of the hand-held harvesting tools 10 and 10’, the knife element 13-13 is provided with a roughened surface texture 13w, as depicted in Figure 5B. In particular the knife element 13-13 (scissor blades 131a-131b) is provided with one or more surface grooves 13z, as depicted in Figure 5C. A roughened surface texture 13w or one or more surface grooves 13z allow for an improved distribution of the disinfecting liquid agent exiting the dosing bore 153 via its second bore opening 153b on the knife element 13-13’, thus providing a continuous disinfected blade surface during harvesting.
As shown in Figures 5B and 5C the roughened surface texture 13w and the one or more surface grooves 13z extends over the blade surface near the second bore opening 153b of the dosing bore 153, thus guaranteeing a proper distribution over said blade surface of the disinfecting liquid agent exiting the bore opening 153b
Apart from the knife element 13-13’ which is preferably made from a metal, the hand-held harvesting tool 10-10" and in particular the gripper handle 11-11’, the disinfection reservoir 14 and the mounting element 15 are made from a plastic material, e.g.
PET-G (Polyethyleen Tereftalaat Glycol). All plastic components can be manufactured using 3D printing techniques.
