PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for supporting a housing body, which allows suitable lowering of the housing body.SOLUTION: The apparatus 3 for supporting the housing body includes a frame body 31 fixedly installed at the rear end of a harvester body 2. A base-supporting body 32 for supporting the base of the housing body 5 is provided in the lower part of the frame body 31. A vertically moving body 33 for lifting the housing body 5 from the base-supporting body 32 by upward moving, and lowering the housing body 5 to the lowered position of a field surface by downward moving is vertically movably installed in the upper part of the frame body 31. The base-supporting body 32 is designed so that the position can be changed to a supporting position for supporting the base of the housing body 5 and an escaping position where it does not contact the base of the housing body 5 during the downward moving of the vertically moving body 33.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】収容体を適切に降ろすことができる収容体支持装置を提供する。【解決手段】収容体支持装置3は、収穫機本体2の後端部に固設したフレーム体31を備える。フレーム体31の下部には、収容体5の底面を支持する底面支持体32を設ける。フレーム体31の上部には、上動により収容体5を底面支持体32から持ち上げ、下動により収容体5を圃場面の降ろし位置に降ろす上下動体33を上下動可能に設ける。底面支持体32は、収容体5の底面を支持する支持位置と上下動体33の下動時に収容体5の底面と接触しない退避位置とに位置変更可能となっている。【選択図】図1
