SIZE CHANGING STRUCTURE IN TEMPORARILY PLANTING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the subject structure intended to easily change the size(s) of tines and/or transfer cups to the size of cell-molded seedlings in a temporarily planting apparatus designed to sow the seeds of a flowering plant or vegetable in cell-molded seedling trays, and cell-molded seedlings grown to about two- to six-foliate size after germination are temporarily planted from the trays to temporarily planting trays or temporarily planting pots (commonly referred to as 'plastic pots'. SOLUTION: This structure has such a scheme that the upper end of a tine bracket 94 mounted with a tine 99 is threadably constituted on the lower end of a sliding rod 39 for withdrawal tine opening/closing drive, the tine bracket 94 is fitted with a screw 114 for fixing the sliding rod 93, and a tine bracket 94 differing in size from the above bracket 94 is detachably constituted on the lower end of the sliding rod 93. A seedling transfer cup is made up from a basal body and a cup body, a mounting projection is projected on the top of the basal body, while the bottom of the cup body is provided with a fitting recess, and a holding mechanism is provided between the fitting recess and the mounting projection, thereby constituting the basal body so that cup bodies differing in size from one another are mountable thereon/ demountable therefrom.
