PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for storing reserve seedling of a rice transplanter furnished with a plurality of reserve seedling trays supported by a seedling tray post in a state vertically arranged in multiple stages and having a pressing member supported by the seedling tray post in a tiltable and vertically movable manner to switch a seedling scooping plate or a seedling box placed on the uppermost reserve seedling tray among the vertically arranged multiple seedling trays between a lowering action posture to press the scooping plate or the box against the uppermost reserve seedling tray and a lift-released posture to release the pressing of the seedling scooping plate or the seedling box, thereby enabling the pressing and fixing of an empty seedling box in the vertically arranged multiple reserve seedling trays against the uppermost reserve seedling tray in a good state.SOLUTION: A bent part 38 is placed between a free end 33 of the pressing member 30 to apply the pressing action on the seedling scooping plate 41 or the seedling box 42 of the pressing member 30 and a base end connected to the seedling tray post 21.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 苗載せ台支柱に上下複数段に並べて支持された予備苗載せ台を備え、上下複数段の予備苗載せ台のうちの最上段の予備苗載せ台に載置された苗すくい板または苗箱を最上段の予備苗載せ台に押し付けた下降作用姿勢と、苗すくい板または苗箱の押し付けを解除した上昇解除姿勢とに苗載せ台支柱に揺動昇降自在に支持された押さえ体を備えた田植機の予備苗収容装置において、上下複数段の予備苗載せ台で空になった苗箱を最上段の予備苗載せ台に良好に押し付け固定することを可能にする。【解決手段】 押さえ体30が下降作用姿勢において機体前後方向視で機体上方向きに凸状になるように、押さえ体30の苗すくい板41または苗箱42に押圧作用する遊端部33と苗載せ台支柱21に連結した基端部との間に、屈曲部38を設けてある。【選択図】 図4
