I was in Walmart today and I got my leg stuck in the shopping cart. An employee had to help me get it unstuck.

The "Free Association" topic surpassed the "This or That" thread in posts, only to have the "This or That" topic re-pass the "Free Association" thread.

Just spent 30 minutes converting 100+ nonillion (with 33 digits) into roman numerals. I don't know if I should be proud of this achievement or not.

I'm a very fast typer. Sometimes I completely mess up a word because I almost never look down at my keyboard. However, I went to correct it and this is what it thought I meant.

Dec. 8, 1959 J. M. FURFORD CRANBERRY PICKING-AND PRUNING MACHINE 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Filed Oct. 22. 1957 In F w mm hm INVENTOR.

Application October 22, 1957, Serial No. 691,740

4 Claims. (Cl. 56-330) This present invention relates to the general art of power driven harvesting machines and more particularly -to a machine which is especially constructed and proportioned to harvest cranberries and to at the same time out the upstanding bushes which are not wanted. This machine is comparable in its handling to a two wheeled wheelbarrow or cultivator where the operator walks behind the machine and adjusts it to conditions as the machine moves over the ground by power supplied by its own internal combustion engine. The picking device itself acts to comb the berries off of the fruit producing tips of the vines. The berries and prunings are then engaged by a vertical elevator that moves them up an incline and finally deposits them in a receptacle or sack toward the rear of the machine.

In the past a number of machines have been provided for the purpose of picking cranberries but those that have been observed do not provide the adjustability under the immediate control of the operator to a degree where the machine can be immediately readjusted to varying conditions. The cranberry bogs where cranberries are grown commercially have irregular ground surfaces and then the bushes grow more densely in certain areas than others and this calls for convenient adjusting means that can be quickly actuated to adapt the picker to widely varying conditions. It is believed that this present machine fully meets the exacting requirements of a successful cranberry picking machine.

The principal object of this present invention is to provide a comb-like picking arrangement for picking.

cranberries so they may be handled in a manner to prevent bruising or crushing the berries.

A further object of this present equipment is to provide means so that the picking comb of this machine can be very quickly adjusted to varying conditions in a cranberry bog to the end that all the berries can be harvested in one passage of the machine.

A further object of this invention is to provide means whereby the larger vines that are non-productive and are normally upstanding, will be engaged by pins which are power driven in a vertical plane above the comb means so that the unproductive vines will be carried down into a cutter where the vines will be sheared as they have no practical value.

A further object of this invention is to provide adequate mechanical means for the sorting of the vines that are no longer productive from the fruit tips where the cranberries actually grow, the vines being cut while the berries are being stripped from the berry producing tips.

Further objects, advantages and capabilities will beapparent from the description and disclosure in the drawings, or may be comprehended or are inherent in the device.
