PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a conventional structure scraper is escaped to the rear side of a seedling-planting tool, and therefore interferes a planted seedling to disorder the planted posture thereof.SOLUTION: There is provided the seedling transplanter characterized by disposing a seedling-planting tool (11) which is lifted or lowered in a prescribed loop locus, receives a seedling therein, is plunged into soil, and opens the lower portion to supply and plant the seedling in the soil, and a scraper (12) which contacts with the outside or inside of the seedling-planting tool to drop the adhered soil in a process for lifting the seedling-planting tool, and further disposing an escaping means for escaping the scraper on the front side of the seedling-planting tool (11), when the scraper (12) does not work.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来構成のスクレーパは、苗植付具の後方側に退避させるものであるため、スクレーパが植付後の苗に干渉して植付姿勢を乱す問題があった。【解決手段】 本発明は、所定のループ軌跡で昇降作動し、内部に苗を収容して土中に突入し、下部を開いて苗を土中に供給して植え付ける苗植付具(11)と、苗植付具の上昇行程で該苗植付具の外面又は内面に接触して付着する泥土を落とすスクレーパ(12)を備え、このスクレーパ(12)の非作用時には該スクレーパを苗植付具(11)の前側へ退避させることによって従来の問題点を解消する。【選択図】 図7
