SEPARATING LOAD-GRIPPING MECHANISM OF CONVERGENT TYPE OF MOVEMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A01G23/00 

FIELD: wood processing industry.

SUBSTANCE: separating load-gripping mechanism of the ascending type of motion includes a ballistic-type load-holding mechanism, held by an aerostat, which is divided into two working units by means of four side winches for processing a vertically standing tree. The separating load-gripping mechanism comprises a ball-retaining upper and lower independent ball elements retained by the balloon at the edge of which the gripping and shearing mechanisms are disposed. Each of the beam elements is held on a balloon by two personal electric cargo ropes and acts as a manipulator, the frontal guidance of which on the tree trunk is performed due to the balloon displacement by means of a ground winch and pull-pull ropes. At the point of guidance, both beam elements are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the tree trunk.

EFFECT: work is carried out related to pruning branches and branches from vertically standing trees, keeping the trunk at its cut and taking it out of the forest canopy and moving it with a balloon to the unloading point.
