PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter having a reserve seedling placing part which efficiently performs to make a developed state in which two or more reserve seedling trays are arranged almost linearly in a front-back direction and to make a laminate state in which the reserve seedling trays vertically overlap each other in planar view, and can surely keep each state in the developed state and the laminate state.SOLUTION: The switching between the developed state in which two or more reserve seedling members 38a, 38b, and 38c are lined in the front-back direction and the laminate state in which the reserve seedling members are lined vertically, by the turn of two or more movement link members 39a, 39b, and 39c, is performed by turning a turn gear 70a by a motor 71, and the reserve seedling placing members 38a, 38b, and 38c can be automatically set in the developed state and the laminate state by the movement link members 39a, 39b, and 39c touching stop plates 73a1 and 73a2 provided in the right place of the reserve seedling member 38.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】複数の予備苗載せ台をほぼ直線状に前後方向に並べた展開状態と、上下方向に平面視で重複した積層状態にする作業を能率的に行い、かつ展開状態と積層状態では、それぞれの状態を確実に保持し得るようにした予備苗載部を有する苗移植機の提供。【解決手段】複数の移動リンク部材39a,39b,39cの回動により複数の予備苗載せ部材38a,38b,38cが前後方向に並ぶ展開状態と上下方向に並ぶ積層状態に切り替えを、モータ71で回動ギヤ70aを回動させることで行い、予備苗載せ部材38の適所に設けた停止プレート73a1,73a2に移動リンク部材39a,39b,39cが振れることで前記展開状態と積層状態に予備苗載せ部材38a,38b,38cを自動的に設定できる。【選択図】図3
