PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tea leaf-picking apparatus enabling smooth reaping of tea leaf to be picked and transfer of picked tea leaf to a storing body side.SOLUTION: In the tea leaf-picking apparatus, a rotary brush 42 rotating in the longitudinal direction of a reaping blade 41 is installed above the reaping blade 41 and a blowing nozzle 43 for jetting air flow toward the side of the rotary brush 42 is installed in front of the rotary brush 42. Thereby, the apparatus is constituted so that the reaping blade 41 transfers picked tea leaf branches picked from tea ridges toward tea bag side by cooperation between rotation action of the rotary brush 42 and air flow jetted from the blowing nozzle 43.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】摘採茶葉の円滑な刈り取りや収容体側への移送が可能な茶葉摘採装置を提供する。【解決手段】刈刃41の上方に、刈刃41の長手方向に沿って回転する回転ブラシ42を設けると共に、回転ブラシ42の前方に、回転ブラシ42側に向けて空気流を噴出する送風ノズル43を設け、回転ブラシ42の回転動作と送風ノズル43から噴出される空気流との協働によって、刈刃41が茶畝から摘採した摘採茶葉枝を茶袋側に向けて移送するように構成する。【選択図】図1
