The invention relates to pneumatic cushions for soft reception of harvested fruit on mechanized fruit harvesters, ment to cushion the fall of harvested fruit wherein the assembly (3) consists of a plastic reception tray (4) and a rubber membrane (5), and the whole assembly (3) has a polygonal shape. The rubber membrane (5), which is most favourably made of food-grade rubber, is stretched over the upper side of the reception tray (4) and the side edges of the tray (4), and attached to the side surfaces of the tray (4). The membrane (5) is glued around the entire side perimeter of the tray (4) and secured by means of a safety tape (6). On the part opposite to sides (c, d), on the bottom of the tray (4), are fitted blow-holes (7) for release of air from underneath the membrane (5). On the corner of the tray (4), formed by sides (a, e), is fitted a mechanism (10) for revolving connection of the tray (4) to the support (23) and to air supply pipes (20), wherein the mechanism (10) includes an axle (12) and a bushing (13) with a hole (14).
