An array of foliage contacting rods having a certain stiffness and trunk contacting rods having a greater stiffness is assembled in combination for mounting on an oscillatory shaker head configured to be carried over row cultivated crops by a mobile harvester to effect crop harvesting by both foliage shaking and trunk shaking using a single shaker head. Moreover, the number of rods of each type may be varied to suit harvesting conditions while the oscillatory shaker head remains in place in the mobile harvester and the stiffness of each rod is adjustable within limits to further conform to harvesting conditions. The rod array in one embodiment provides simultaneous harvesting of multiple rows of a crop cultivated in parallel row configuration.

This invention relates to a safety restraint bracket of functionally interchangeable components for constraining freestanding appliances and furnishings. A malleable and machine scored parent plate can be joined with a mating plate to form a fastening clamp. This clamp assembly is wedded to a freestanding article or structure using an insulating cohesive foam bedding with supplemental mechanical fastenings. A spanning component, adjustable in effective length, firmly bridges from the installed clamp to an anchorage plate fastened to a buttressing adjacent surface such as a substantial wall.
