COLLECT SEA-BUCKTHORN

COLLECT SEA-BUCKTHORNAll good sea buckthorn, besides those extraordinary inconvenience, that brings the harvest. Tight to the branches of a delicate little berries are extremely slow. Many attempts to mechanize the collection usually lead to spoilage of the crop. However, to expedite the Assembly process. After all, most of the time is not a branch of berries from the stalk and carry it in a box, jar or basket. This process should be “sealed” to a minimum.

 
I have developed a device consisting of a small metal or plastic funnel, wide hose (e.g., from diving or vacuum) and the receiving boxes. The funnel is connected with hose, the one with the inlet duct, the latter is fixed on a zone of the collector. A funnel fastened to the arm of a leather strap so that the neck was located on the palm. Here, in fact, the whole “harvester”. You just tear the berry between thumb and forefinger, then tear the next. Previous meanwhile, falls into the funnel, and then through the hose and into the box.
