PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter having such a seedling stand section that, even in case a plurality of preliminary seedling stands are nearly horizontally spread longitudinally, seedling box(es) on one of the preliminary seedling stands can be smoothly transferred onto another one of the preliminary seedling stands.SOLUTION: The seedling transplanter is such that: both ends of each of the front sides of preliminary seedling stands 38a, 38b and 38c are provided with each of pairs of front-side projections 38a1, 38b1 and 38c1 projected forward, respectively, and the center end of each of the rear sides are provided with rear-side projections 38a2, 38b2 and 38c2 projected rearward, respectively therefore, in such a spread configuration that the preliminary seedling stands 38a, 38b and 38c are arranged in a row longitudinally, as the rear-side projections 38a2 and 38b2 of the front-side respective preliminary seedling stands 38a and 38b are laid superimposedly on the front-side projections 38b1 and 38c1 of the rear-side respective preliminary seedling stands 38b and 38c when viewed sideways, the preliminary seedling stands 38a, 38b and 38c can be arranged in a row in a partly insertedly fitted condition longitudinally, therefore, seedling boxes 68 to be loaded on the preliminary seedling stands 38a, 38b and 38c can be smoothly moved rearward.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】複数の予備苗載せ台を前後にほぼ水平状態に展開にした場合にも一つの予備苗載せ台上の苗箱を他の予備苗載せ台にスムーズに移動可能な苗載部を備えた苗移植機を提供すること。【解決手段】予備苗載せ台38a,38b,38cの前側両端部に前方に向かって突出する一対の前側突出部38a1,38b1,38c1をそれぞれ形成し、後側端部中央に後方に向かって突出する後側突出部38a2,38b2,38c2をそれぞれ形成しているので、予備苗載せ台38a,38b,38cが前後方向に並ぶ展開形態では、前側の各予備苗載せ台38a,38bの後側突出部38a2,38b2が後側の各予備苗載せ台38b,38cの前側突出部38b1,38c1と側面視で重複して配置されので予備苗載せ台38a,38b,38cを前後方向に部分的に嵌め込み状態で並べることができるので、予備苗載せ台38a,38b,38cに積み込む苗箱68を円滑に後側に移動させることができる。【選択図】図5
