PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for treating trees reducing resistance when delivering trees, reliably supporting trees even if each of them has a high narrowing ratio to deliver them, and inhibiting barks from being peeled or the trees from being damaged so as to prevent decrease in quality of the trees.SOLUTION: The apparatus for treating trees S includes: a base 3 a gripper 10 having a pair of gripping bodies 12a, 12b openably pivoted to the base 3 with a focus on a rotary axis 11 and gripping a tree W when closed and a delivering part 30 having a crawler 31 delivering the tree W in the direction of the rotary axis 11 of a gripping body 12. One gripping body 12a is provided with a pair of rollers 20a having a rotary axis orthogonal to the direction of the axis line 15 of the rotary axis 11 of the gripping body 12 to roll the tree W when delivering the tree W, and another gripping body 12b is provided with a single roller 20b at a position corresponding to the space between the pair of the rollers 20a provided in one of the gripping bodies 12a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 樹木の送出の際の抵抗を低減させるとともに、細り率の大きい樹木であっても確実に支持して送出することができるようにし、樹皮が剥がれたりして樹木が傷つくことを抑制して樹木の品質が低下することを抑制する。【解決手段】 ベース3と、ベース3に回動軸11を中心に開閉可能に軸支され閉時に樹木Wを把持する一対の把持体12a、12bを有したグリッパ10と、樹木Wを把持体12の回動軸11方向に送出するクローラ31を有した送出部30とを備えた樹木処理装置Sにおいて、一方の把持体12aに、把持体12の回動軸11の軸線15方向と直交する回転軸を有し樹木Wの送出時に樹木Wを転動するローラ20aを一対設け、他方の把持体12bに、一方の把持体12aに設けられる一対のローラ20a間に対応する位置にローラ20bを1つ設けた。【選択図】図1
