Abstract: A machine for pulling off plant branches, in particular vine branches, of tying wires to which they cling by tendrils comprising a combination of means capable to extract the branches downwards. The combination of means comprises a (resiliently pivoted) pressing member and a pulling member facing the pressing member. In operation, the pulling member is moving so that its surface oriented towards the pressing member moves downwards. Cut-off branches are pressed on this surface by the pressing member by a force sufficient that the branches are dragged downwardly along and are forcibly detached from the tying wires. The downward removal corresponds to the about V-shaped ramifications of the plant, so that it is effected more easily and without obstruction by the ramifications which tend to get caught by the tying wires when removal occurs upwards.

Abstract: A machine for pulling out the cut-off vine branches (S) that are hanging on a tying wire (F), including a supporting frame (1), a gantry (2) comprising an arm set mounting so as to swivel and having an overhanging end, a gripping device (3) for the cut branches (S) including at least one gripping disk (23) connected to the overhanging end and showing notches (24) for gripping and dragging along the cut branches (S), a transfer device (4) comprising a transfer element (28) showing notches for gripping and dragging along the cut branches (S) gripped by gripping disk (23), and a detaching device (5) for the cut branches (S) arranged at the outlet of transfer device (4) and including a device for capturing the cut branches (S) and pulling them in the direction opposite to transfer device (4).
