Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004112458A1] The invention relates to a cutting device that is secured on the hand for picking fruit, in particular for pressure-sensitive fruit. According to the invention, the connection between the scissors and the hands and fingers enables the picker to feel the surface and stalk of the fruit with his or her fingers in order to guide the scissors into the best position for cutting the stalk. The cutting element is spoon-shaped in such a way that the severed fruit stalk does not project beyond the surface of the fruit. The cutting element comprises support elements and is fixed to at least one finger using suitable fixing means. A movement of the thumb or an external energy source permits a force to be exerted on the cutting element by means of suitable force transmission means. Said cutting device prevents harvested fruit from being damaged by mutual contact during storage and permits a sufficient length of stalk to be retained on the fruit to prevent it from perishing.
