Produce harvestor

A produce harvester operable to harvest produce from a tree comprising:

• a produce collection assembly, said produce collection assembly having a body being spherical in shape, said body having a upper portion and a lower portion being operably coupled to form an interior volume, said upper portion having an outer surface, said upper portion configured to have produce suspending from a tree biased thereagainst;
• a plurality of fruit apertures, said plurality of fruit apertures being journaled through said upper portion, said plurality of fruit apertures having an opening operable to provide produce access to the interior volume of said body,
• a plurality of concave portions, said concave portions being formed in said upper portion of said body, said plurality of concave portions forming depressions in the outer surface, said plurality of concave portions extending downward along the upper portion of said body;
• and
• wherein the produce collection assembly is rotatably mounted to an articulating mechanical boom.

A produce harvester operable to facilitate the harvest of produce growing on a tree through rotation of a produce collection assembly that forms a part thereof comprising:

• a produce collection assembly, said produce collection assembly having a body that is spherical in shape, said body having an apex, said body having an upper portion and a lower portion operably coupled so as to form an interior volume, said interior volume functioning to receive and store fruit therein, said upper portion having an outer surface wherein the outer surface includes a plurality of fruit apertures journaled therethrough, said fruit apertures having an opening so as to permit produce engaging therewith to penetrate into the interior volume of the body, said lower portion of said body being operably coupled to a mechanical articulating boom;
• a plurality of concave portions, said plurality of concave portions being formed in the outer surface of said upper portion, said plurality of concave portions being formed longitudinally on said upper portion, said plurality of concave portions having a depression;
• a conical protrusion, said conical protrusion being integrally formed with said upper portion of said body, said conical protrusion being proximate the apex of said body and extending outward therefrom, said conical protrusion operable to facilitate penetration of a portion of the body proximate thereto intermediate limbs of a tree such that fruit growing thereon will engage at least one fruit aperture adjacent to the conical protrusion.
