Abstract
A berry-harvesting machine with opposite sets of overlapped pivoted plates forming receiving surfaces inclined from the center downward toward the sides of the machine is equipped with a plate construction that permits the plates of each set to lie flat against each other without significant intervening space. Accidental accumulations of fruit between the plates is thus avoided, as each swing of the plates caused by engagement with the bushes sweeps the adjacent plates clear, and moves undamaged fruit down the incline onto the collecting conveyors at the opposite sides of the machine.
