PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter capable of changing the angle (transplanting angle) for angling a vine in a field according the kind of the vine seedling.SOLUTION: The seedling transplanter is constituted as follows. When the seedling transplanter 4 receives the vine-shaped seedling from a seedling-conveying unit 3 for conveying the vine-shaped seedling for transplantation, provided in a traveling apparatus 1 for self-propelling a machine body, and transplants the vine-shaped seedling while holding the seedling, the vine-shaped seedling is nipped by an operation unit 4a provided in the end part of a seedling transplanter 4, and the seedling is lowered and plunged into soil of a field. Thereafter, the seedling transplanter moves in the traveling direction of the machine body, and gets away from the soil by releasing the nipping of the seedling after the movement by a set distance in the direction, and by being lifted. The seedling transplanter 4 is attached to a fulcrum shaft 40a provided in a handle frame 2b so as to be freely turnable, and the seedling-transplanting attitude by the operation unit 4a of the seedling transplanter 4 is changed by the regulation of the attaching angle of the seedling transplanter 4 to the fulcrum shaft 40a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】つる苗の種類に応じて圃場におけるつるの寝かす角度(植付角度)を変更することができる苗移植機を提供すること。【解決手段】機体を自走させる走行装置1上に設けた植付用のつる状の苗を搬送する苗搬送部3から苗植付体4が、つる状の苗を受け取り、つる状の苗を保持して圃場に植え付けるに際して苗植付体4の先端部に設けた作用部4aでつる状苗を挟持して下降して圃場の土中に突入した後、機体進行方向に沿う方向に移動し、該方向へ設定距離移動した後に苗の挟持を解いて上昇して土中から抜け出すよう動作する構成とし、ハンドルフレーム2bに設けた支点軸40aに苗植付体4を揺動自在に取り付け、苗植付体4の作用部4aによる苗植え付け姿勢を支点軸40aに対する苗植付体4の取付角度の調節により変更する構成とした苗移植機である。【選択図】 図1
