Description

 The invention relates to forestry and agriculture and is intended for the collection of berries, mainly cranberries.

 A device for collecting berries, such as cranberries, including a container with a handle and teeth (ed. St. N 400282 class. A 01 D 46/00, 1973) is known.

 However, such a device for collecting cranberries must produce complex additional movements, since the teeth are spread apart in the upper part of the device for passing berries and are shifted in the lower part to hold the berries and move it to the hopper, and therefore it is necessary to make a pulling movement for combing the berries and a very large distance with the handle along the radius for rolling it into a collection tank, time is lost and productivity decreases.

 A device for collecting berries, mainly cranberries, containing a handle, a body with a combing device in the form of a series of parallel teeth, the front ends of which are fixed on a cross member located in the upper part of the body, and a storage hopper (ed. St. N 1253479, class A 01 D 46/00, 1986).

 However, in this device, at the place of berry entry, additional teeth are fixed on the main teeth at an angle, which when combed over moss have a large area of contact with moss, and therefore this device has a lot of friction. Since the teeth are fixed firmly, the berry in a small hole in the moss is not taken or the device needs to be pressed into the moss with the entire area to level the moss and make a movement with friction to comb the berries.

 The invention is aimed at increasing labor productivity, reducing the load of the legs of the picker on the ground cover, to improve the handling of the device.

 The goal is achieved in that the device for collecting berries, mainly cranberries, is equipped with a long handle and a combing body at the end, consisting of a cross member with a set of floating teeth in the mounts with movable and fixed flaps shifted to a distance and parallel to each other.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 side view, a separate tooth is shown; in FIG. 2 side view; in FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a stripping organ consisting of a set of teeth without a collecting container and a handle; in FIG. 4 front view of the device with a hopper and the length of the handle; in FIG. 5 general view of the device, top view.

 A device for collecting berries, mainly cranberries, consists of teeth 1, with a movable flap 2 and a flap 3 rigidly fixed to the tooth 1 and holes 4 for free fastening to the cross member 6 shifted relative to each other by the size "a" and between each other "in" and a side surface 5 with a collection tank 7, which are fixed to a long handle in the form of a braid 8 with a handle in the middle 9 and a combing side surface 10 at the end of the cross member 6.

 The device works as follows: taking in both hands the long handle 8 with the handle in the middle 9 and bring the stripping organ to a convenient distance to the right and comb the berry from right to left from the moss cover. At the end of the stripping movement, roll the berry into the collecting container 7, then enter the stripping organ for the next combing movement. The use of a long handle 8 with a handle in the middle 9 allows you to work with two handles, which facilitates the handling of the device when picking berries on different mosses. In addition, it increases the collection radius and the collection area from one place. On a hard, even moss, the device allows the berry to be harvested with the maximum width of the stripping organ, which increases the productivity of the device. On soft moss with indentations and bumps, the stripping organ is carried out with a minimal part. To capture berries in the recesses of the moss, the teeth float in the holes, when combing the device over the moss and pick the berry from small recesses. If desired, the teeth 1 are rigidly fixed to the cross member 6. When assembling in the grass, the grass freely passes between the teeth. Perhaps the use of a device for collecting blueberries, blueberries and lingonberries.

Claims (1)

 A device for collecting berries, mainly cranberries, comprising a collecting container having a handle with a stripping organ in the form of a series of teeth parallel to the cross member, characterized in that each tooth has a front movable and rigidly fixed rear flap with a hole for free attachment to the cross member, this handle is made in the form of a taller, and the teeth are offset relative to each other.
