    Abstract: A SELF-PROPELLED FRUIT HARVESTER UNIT HAVING A FRAME AND A FRUIT-CATCHING APRON MOUNTED FOR EXTENSION TOWARD A TREE TO BE HARVESTED AND RETRACTION INTO A TRANSPORT POSITION. A CONVEYOR ON THE FRAME COLLECTS FRUIT FROM THE APRON AND CONVEYS IT TO A FOLDABLE CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY WHICH CONVEYS IT UPWARDLY TOWARD A COLLECTION POINT ON THE UNIT. THE FOLDABLE CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED ON THE FRAME SO AS TO PIVOT OR FOLD AS THE FRAME IS EXTENDED AND RETRACTED. EXTENSION CATCHER ASSEMBLIES AND A GAP CLOSER APRON ARE PIVOTALLY MOUNTED ON THE FRAME AND PROVIDE SLOPING SURFACES FOR GRAVITY FEEDING OF FRUIT TO THE CONVEYOR. HYDRAULIC MEANS ARE OPERABLE TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP THE EXTENSION OF THE FRAME AND TO POSITION THE EXTENSION CATCHER ASSEMBLIES AND GAP CLOSER APRON IN RESPONSE TO ENGAGEMENT OF THE FRAME WITH A TREE TO BE HARVESTED.

    Abstract: A BOOM ASSEMBLY FOR A TREE SHAKER APPARATUS WHEREIN THE ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER WITHIN WHICH A PAIR OF PISTONS ARE MOUNTED IN AXIALLY SPACED RELATION TO DEFINE A PLURALITY OF FLUID CHAMBERS. A TREE GRIPPING CLAMP INCLUDES A PAIR OF JAWS CONNECTED RESPECTIVELY TO THE PAIR OF PISTONS. HYDRAULIC CONTROL MEANS ARE OPERATIVE TO MOVE THE CLAMP STRUCTURE RELATIVE TO THE CYLINDER AND TO MOVE THE JAWS RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER BY CONTROLLING THE FLUID PRESSURE WITHIN THE FLUID CHAMBERS. MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR ROTATING THE CLAMP STRUCTURE RELATIVE TO THE BOOM ASSEMBLY.

    Abstract: A rotatable conveyor wheel adapted for moving articles such as fruit or the like. The conveyor wheel includes a hub rotatable about a fixed axis disposed above a surface along which the articles are to be moved. The outer periphery of the wheel is defined by annular resilient cushions which are yieldably engageable with the articles to move the same along the surface. The annular cushions are mounted on a rim which is connected about the hub by a plurality of resilient spokes. By this arrangement, the rim and cushions may move relative to the fixed axis of rotation to accommodate articles of a variety of sizes or variable volumes of articles.
