Latest Patents
One of his notable inventions is a deflector for tree-fruit harvesters. This deflector is designed to collect and guide harvested tree-fruit while ensuring resilient recovery from collisions with obstacles in the field. It is coupled in cantilever to a boom harvester mounted on a vehicle. The harvester features a telescopic boom with a mobile portion that is terminated by a clamp, which can move in both horizontal and vertical directions towards a tree trunk. The deflector is attached to the mobile portion for synchronized movement with the clamp. Constructed from flexible elastic plastic material, such as fiberglass, the deflector is lightweight and can flex upon collision, allowing it to recover its shape afterward. This design prevents destabilization of the vehicle and minimizes the transmission of vibrations generated by the shaker used to harvest the fruit.
Another significant patent is for a fruit harvester that includes a pivotable fruit deflector. This harvester consists of a vehicle, a boom with a shaker head for vibrating tree trunks, and a fruit deflector that defines a surface for collecting fruit shaken from the tree. The deflector can pivot between operating and retracted positions, facilitating access to the shaker head when needed.
