  • Patent number: 4259833
    Abstract: A pair of floor panels extend inwardly from the opposite sides of a harvesting machine in an inclined relation and have an overlapping relation centrally of the machine. Each panel has a resilient membrane supported on a plurality of longitudinally spaced, spring-pressed, inclined pivotal arms. The membrane portions are arranged to move past trunk portions of vines in close association and catch crop articles falling by gravity as a result of shaker apparatus or the like on an upper portion of the machine. The flexible membrane has upwardly arched portions in the area between the support arms, the arched portions on opposite sides being laterally aligned and in partially overlapping relation. The support arms have lateral adjustment as well as adjustment of their inclination. Adjustment apparatus is also provided to vary the tension of the membrane portions.
