PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grafted seedling producing apparatus with an easy structure, capable of efficiently subjecting to grafting treatment seedlings having soft seed leaves developing in a bifoliate form through securely arranging the development axis direction of the seed leaves in a prescribed direction without damaging the seed leaves.SOLUTION: This grafted seedling producing apparatus has a gathering part (2) for receiving seedlings having bifoliate developing seed leaves, and subjecting the seedlings as scion or stock individually to a gathering treatment. The gathering part (2) is set with a freely fitting holding mechanism capable of rotatably loosely holding the hypocotyl of the received seedlings while cutting the roots, a transferring mechanism (13) of supporting the freely fitting holding mechanism and transferring to a horizontal direction, and a direction correcting member (14) for fitting the seed leaf developing direction to the transfer direction through interfering with the seed leaves of the seedlings at the transfer terminal part in the transferring mechanism (13). The transferring mechanism (13) reduces the transfer speed just before the direction correcting member (14) interferes with the seed leaves of the seedlings to make the transfer speed at the transfer terminal part low-speed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】 双葉状に展開する柔らかな子葉を有する苗について、子葉を傷めずにその展開軸線方向を確実に所定方向に揃えて能率良く接木処理することができる簡易な構成の接木苗製造装置を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】 双葉状の展開子葉を有する苗を受けてこれを穂木又は台木として個別に取込処理する取込部(2)を備える接木苗製造装置において、上記取込部(2)は、受けた苗の根側を切断しつつその胚軸を回動可能に緩く保持可能な遊嵌保持機構と、この遊嵌保持機構を支持して横方向に移送動作する移送機構(13)と、この移送機構(13)における移送終端部で苗の子葉と干渉することによってその子葉展開方向を移送方向に合わせるための方向修正部材(14)とを設け、前記移送機構(13)は、移送終端部での移送速度が低速となるよう前記方向修正部材(14)に苗の子葉が干渉する直前で移送速度が減速される構成とした。【選択図】 図3
