(under the class definition) Apparatus which include, subsequent to a means for unearthing plants or buried objects which leaves said plants or objects on the surface of the earth, a member which extends from a point spaced above the ground to a point on or near the ground, said member being disposed either (1) transversely to the line of draft in such fashion that it piles up said objects, plants, or parts of said plants ahead of it on the ground to collect them in piles, or (2) at an inclination to the line of draft such that said objects, plants or parts of said plants are biased laterally along the ground to a delivery point along a line parallel to said line of draft.
(1) Note. Rake-like devices which penetrate the ground and thus dig up objects are excluded.
