PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a further efficient and economic plant seed cutting device.SOLUTION: A plant seed cutting device 1 includes: a table 5 on which a through hole 52 is formed a cutting blade 41 that can be upwardly moved from below the table 5 to above the surface thereof through the through hole 52 and a movement mechanism 3 for moving a cutting blade 41. The table 5 includes a longitudinally-shaped horizontal through hole 52a and a longitudinally-shaped vertical through hole 52b, the horizontal and vertical through holes 52a, 52b intersecting each other. The cutting blade 41 can be moved between a first rotational position and a second rotational position, the first rotational position being a position where the cutting blade 41 can pass through the horizontal through hole 52a and the second rotational position being a position where the cutting blade 41 can pass through the vertical through hole 52b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】より効率的・経済的な植物種切断装置を提供する。【解決手段】植物種切断装置1は、貫通穴52形成されたテーブル5と、貫通穴52を、テーブル5の下方からテーブル5表面より上方にせり上がり可能な切断刃41と、切断刃41を移動させる移動機構3と、を有し、テーブル5は、長穴形状の横貫通穴52aと、長穴形状の縦貫通穴52bと、を有し、横貫通穴52aと縦貫通穴52bとは、交差しており、切断刃41は、横貫通穴52aを切断刃41が通過可能な第1回転位置と、縦貫通穴52bを切断刃41が通過可能な第2回転位置と、に相互に移行可能である。【選択図】 図1
