PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To hardly cause such inconvenience that the branch and leaf side of stems and leaves to be pulled out twines around other parts to hinder pulling-out work.SOLUTION: A stem and leaf pulling-out apparatus 4 for pulling out stems and leaves to be pulled out, upward to the rear in association with the travel of a machine body to convey the stems and leaves includes a holding conveying mechanism 13 holding the root side of the stems and leaves to be pulled out by a lateral pair of endless conveying belts 102 to pull out the stems and leaves upward to the rear and convey them, and a branch and leaf guide body 14 stopping the branch and leaf side of the stems and leaves pulled out and conveyed by the holding conveying mechanism 13, above the holding conveying mechanism 13 to guide it upward to the rear. The branch and leaf guide body 14 includes a lateral pair of top plates 119 disposed above the holding conveying mechanism 13 in a state of being laterally arranged with a predetermined space that permits stem and leaf pulling-out conveyance, and a lateral pair of lateral side plates 120 provided at the machine body outside lateral side ends of the top plates 119 in a state of having vertical extended parts 120A extended upward from the top plates 119.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】引き抜く茎葉の枝葉側が他部に絡み付いて引き抜き作業に支障を来たす不都合を招き難くする。【解決手段】機体の走行に伴って引き抜き対象の茎葉を後上方に引き抜き搬送する茎葉引抜装置4に、左右一対の無端搬送帯102により引き抜き対象の茎葉の根元側を挟持して茎葉を後上方に引き抜き搬送する挟持搬送機構13と、挟持搬送機構13が引き抜き搬送する茎葉の枝葉側を挟持搬送機構13の上方で受け止めて後上方に案内する枝葉ガイド体14とを備え、枝葉ガイド体14を、茎葉の引き抜き搬送を許容する所定間隔をあけて左右に並ぶ状態で挟持搬送機構13の上方に配備した左右一対の天板119と、これらの天板119における機体外側の横側端に天板119から上方に延出する縦向きの延出部120Aを有する状態で備えた左右一対の横側板120とから構成した。【選択図】図14
