  • Patent number: 5450716
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for harvesting a crop, for example, blueberries. The apparatus includes a plurality of groups of channels arranged side-by-side to create a plurality of picking heads with stripping gaps. The picking heads are connected to a frame. As a motive force, such as a tractor, moves the frame through a field of plants, the ends of the channels are moved below the crop. The gaps between the channels strip the crop from the plants, and the crop falls into the channels, where the crop may move along the channels for collecting.
