Abstract: A produce harvester that is operable to utilize a produce collection assembly wherein the produce collection assembly is rotatably moved during the collection of produce from a tree. The produce collection assembly includes a body that is spherical in shape having an upper portion and a lower portion forming an interior volume. The upper portion is rotatably mounted to the lower portion with the lower portion being secured to a conventional mechanical articulating boom that is operable to move the produce collection assembly in three axial directions. The upper portion includes an outer surface that has formed thereon a plurality of longitudinally oriented concave portions. Intermediate the plurality of concave portions are transition ridges. A conical protrusion is integrally formed with the upper portion and extends outward from the upper portion. A plurality of fruit apertures are journaled through the upper portion providing access to the interior volume.

Abstract: A valve train for an internal combustion engine of the type having two inlet valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder, with these valves being in a splayed configuration, has a pivotal rocker arm for each of these valves, with these rocker arm sets for the inlet valves and exhaust valves being actuated from a single camshaft having inlet and exhaust cams thereon by the use of cylindrical inner and outer lifter concentrically positioned and located such that their axis of reciprocation is at the intersection of imaginary planes extending through the reciprocating axes of the valves.

Abstract: A device for cleaning paint rollers having a handle and roll utilizing housing for enclosing the roll. The roll is mounted in the housing permitting rotation of the roll in relation to roller handle. A nozzle directs paint cleaning fluid to the rotatably mounted roll in the housing for removal of the paint from the roll.
