PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new collector technology of pruned branches in which many pruned branches having different thickness, length, weight, attitudes and directions, and scattered on the ground, can be collected quickly and efficiently without miss, while lightly moving near fruit trees.SOLUTION: A pruned branch collector 1 is characterized as follows: a mounting unit 2 is provided a small branch collection beam 5 is provided laterally horizontally at least in any one of the front and rear in the target working vehicle traveling direction from the mounting unit 2 small branch collection springs 50, 50, ... are suspended from multiple places becoming an appropriate interval between left and right edges of the small branch collection beam 5, respectively a large branch collection beam 6 is provided laterally horizontally at the outside position in the target working vehicle traveling direction more than the small branch collection beam 5 from the mounting unit 2 and large branch collection springs 60, 60, ... having rigidity higher than the small branch collection springs 50, 50, ... are suspended from multiple places becoming the appropriate interval between left and right edges of the large branch collection beam 6, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】果樹の近くを軽快に移動しながら、太さや長さ、重量、姿勢、向きなどを異にして地上に散乱する多数の剪定枝を取り溢しなく、迅速且つ効率的に回収可能とする新たな剪定枝の回収装置技術を提供する。【解決手段】装着部2を有し、該装着部2から、対象作業車両進行方向前後の少なくとも何れか一方に、細枝回収用梁5を水平横設し、該細枝回収用梁5の左右端間適宜間隔置きとなる複数箇所夫々からは、細枝回収スプリング50,50,……を垂下し、該装着部2から細枝回収用梁5よりも対象作業車両進行方向外側位置に、太枝回収用梁6を水平横設し、該太枝回収用梁6の左右端間適宜間隔置きとなる複数箇所夫々からは、細枝回収スプリング50,50,……よりも高い剛性を有する太枝回収スプリング60,60,……を垂下してなるものとした剪定枝回収装置1である。【選択図】図1
