PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely form a seeding recessed part in a pot of a nursery box by accurately synchronizing the rotation of a marking roll with the transportation of the nursery box.SOLUTION: The seeder for raising seedlings is constituted as follows. A stopping arm is supported so as to be freely movable between a stopping posture and a stop-canceled posture, and an urging member for urging the stop arm to the stopping posture is installed. The stopping arm is constituted so as to be moved from the stopping posture to the stop-canceled posture by the contact of the nursery box with the stopping arm by the transportation of the nursery box when the stopping arm is in the stopping posture. The relation of the stopping angle of the marking protrusion with the moved position of the nursery box is set so that the marking protrusion may form the seeding recessed part in the pot in the nursery box by allowing the marking protrusion to coincide with the pot in the nursery box by the start of the rotation of the marking roll when the stopping arm is moved from the stopping posture to the stop-canceled posture by the contact of the nursery box with the stopping arm.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 型付けロールの回転を育苗箱の移送に正確に同期させて育苗箱のポットに播種凹部を確実に形成できるようにする。【解決手段】 停止アームが停止姿勢と停止解除姿勢とに移動自在に支持され、停止アームを停止姿勢に付勢する付勢部材が設けられ、停止アームが停止姿勢にあるときに育苗箱の移送により育苗箱が停止アームに接当して停止アームを停止姿勢から停止解除姿勢に移動させるように構成され、前記育苗箱が停止アームに接当して停止アームを停止姿勢から停止解除姿勢に移動させるときの、型付け突起の停止角度と育苗箱の移送位置との関係が、型付けロールの回転開始により、型付け突起を育苗箱のポットに一致させて型付け突起で育苗箱のポットに播種凹部を形成するように設定されている。【選択図】図3
