PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shelf for storing a seedling box, facilitating work for taking out and putting in a seedling box by bringing a vane forming a shelf portion and both end parts of a bottom surface of the seedling box into contact with each other substantially in a plurality of lines to thereby reduce the contact area so that the seedling box can be smoothly moved in the shelf portion.SOLUTION: The shelf includes: vertical crosspieces respectively raised in the vertical state at four corners of a square at least in a plan view connecting members respectively connecting the upper and lower end parts of the opposite vertical crosspieces among the vertical crosspieces to each other and long vanes respectively fixed to the opposite surface sides in the lateral width direction orthogonal to the direction of taking out and putting in the seedling box in the opposite vertical crosspieces making a pair to form the shelf portion where both end parts of the base of the seedling box can be placed, wherein the vanes are so constructed that a plurality of parts of the placing portion can come into contact with both end parts of the bottom surface of the seedling box substantially in the line contact state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】棚部を形成する翼板と苗箱の底面両端部との接触を複数の略線接触状態として接触面積を小さくし、苗箱の棚部内における移動がスムーズとなり、苗箱の出し入れ作業を容易に行い得る苗箱収納棚を提供する。【解決手段】少なくとも平面視で方形状の四隅に垂直状態でそれぞれ立設された縦桟と、該縦桟のうち対向する縦桟の上下端部をそれぞれ連結する連結部材と、対向する一対の縦桟の苗箱の出し入れ方と直交する左右幅方向の対向面側にそれぞれ固定されて苗箱の底面両端部が載置可能な棚部を形成する長尺状の翼板と、を備え、翼板は、その載置部の複数箇所が苗箱の底面両端部と略線接触状態で接触可能に構成されていることを特徴とする。【選択図】図3
