CH ERRY-PICKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 476,059, dated May 31, 1892.
Application filed October 1 1891. Serial No. 407,394. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE MORRIS, of Libertyville, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Cherry-Picker, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section of my improved cherry-picker. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the upper portion of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detail side elevation of the fastener.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and effective device for clipping the cherry-stems and depositing the cherries in a convenient receptacle.
My invention consists in a pair of springpressed jaws pivoted in a ring and provided with knives for severing the cherry-stems and rings for receiving the thumb and finger, and in the combination therewith of a sleeve of flexible material and a receptacle for receiving the cherries as they fall from the cutters, all as will be hereinafter more fully described.
In the ring A are pivoted jaws B B on a pivotal pin a, which is commonto both jaws. The said jaws are each formed of a curved upper plate attached to a head I), to which is securedacutter c. The jawsB B when closed together form, practically, an elliptical tube, and the cutters c as they approach each other act as shear-blades in severing the cherrystems. To the outer side of each jaw, near the head I), is attached a ring 01 for receiving the thumb and finger. The lower ends of the jaws are tapered to admit of the separation of the upper ends, and the jaws are forced apart by a spring 6, coiled around the pivotal pin a, and provided with arms which rest upon studs f, projecting inwardly from the sides of the jaws. The ring A is furnished with a conical sleeve 0 of flexible materialsuch as canvas-antithe lower endof thesleeve O is secured to a ring 9, which fits over and upon the top of a can D. The ring g is provided with studs h, projecting from diametrically-opposite sides thereof, and the said studs are engaged by hooks 'L, pivoted to the sides of the can. To opposite sides of the can are secured loops j for receiving a strap for fastening the can to the arm of the person using the implement.
In use the jaws are moved upwardly so as to inclose a cherry, and the cutters are made to sever the cherry-stem by closing the jaws together.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a cherry-picker, the combination of the ring A, the spring-pressed jaws B 13, having curved sides and provided with heads I), the knives 0, attached to the heads, the rings d cl for receiving the thumb and finger, the sleeve 0, and the receptacle D, substantially as specified.
2. In a cherry-picker, the combination of the spring-pressed jaws B B, provided with cutters c, the ring A, the flexible sleeve 0, furnished with a ring g, having studs h, and the can D, provided with hooks '5, adapted to engage said studs h, substantially as specified.
GEORGE MORRIS.
