Description

1 63319

The invention relates to a seedling planting device which is intended mainly for clumping seedlings used in forest planting, but which is also suitable, for example, for planting garden plants. The seedling planting means comprises a planting tube with a handle of about 1 m in length, the lower end of which has a blade which, when the planting tube is pressed into the ground, forms a pit for the seedling to be planted. The blade comprises a fixed jaw on the extension of the planting tube, on which is mounted a movable jaw, which is pressed tightly against the fixed jaw when the planting tube is pressed into the ground, so that the planting tube is closed at the lower end of the blade. To facilitate insertion, each jaw is chamfered at its tip in a wedge shape, forming a planting pit resembling a cone closest to the tip, into which the seedling to be planted can be dropped from the upper end of the planting tube after opening the movable jaw.

The blade of the planting tube is opened by pressing down on the foot lever, whereby the moving jaw turns away from the fixed jaw, pushing the ground in front to the side and thus widening the planting pit. In its planting position, i.e. with the blade fully open, the movable jaw is locked immobile by a catch device to allow the seedling to fall unhindered from the planting tube into the pit made by the blade in the ground.

Seedling planting means operating as described above are known in the art and comprise a movable jaw mounted on a fixed jaw of the blade and attached at one end to one end of the foot lever. One such trout planting device is disclosed in FI patent 5D D33, which is equipped with a manually triggered catch device.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simpler trout planting device than that disclosed in the patent, which is also more efficient because the length of the foot lever opening to the planting position of the moving jaw can be increased, so that even less force is required to open the jaw in hard ground.

In addition, locking and releasing the movable jaw to its planting position takes place in the planting device according to the invention simply without the locking and locking devices according to FI patent 5D 033 and others.

In addition, the seedling planting means according to the invention is easier to transport, since the foot lever therein can be turned to its transport position parallel to the planting tube.

The seedling planting device according to the invention is characterized by what is stated in the appended claim.

The invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a side view of a seedling planting device in its depressed position, Figure 2 shows the seedling planting device seen from the opposite side when in its planting position, Figure 3 shows a cross-section embodiment, and Figure 4 shows the seedling planting means in its transport position.

According to Fig. 1, the seedling planting means comprises a planting tube 1 provided at its upper end with a handle 2. Attached to the lower end of the planting tube 1 is a planting pit-forming blade 3 comprising a fixed jaw 4 with an extension and cross-section The cross-sectional shape of the jaw 4 is rectangular, triangular, round or water drop-shaped, depending on the clump to be planted. Figure 3 shows the latter cross-sectional shape, which corresponds to a preferred shape of a cluster seedling which is currently widely used.

The blade 4 is provided with a horizontal bracket 5, which limits the depth of penetration of the blade 3 and which can be adjusted vertically by means of a nut fastening 6.

A hinge pin 7 is placed on each side of the fixed jaw 4 in a plane passing through the center line of the planting tube, on which the movable jaw 8 is mounted by means of a U-shaped bracket 9 attached thereto so that the bracket arms are connected to the hinge pins 7 and the arch part of the bracket

The second pivot pin 7 (Fig. 2) is further provided with a bearing lever 10, to the end of which on the pivot pin 7 side is a shorter lever 11 diverging perpendicularly downwards. When the blade 3 is closed according to Fig. 1, the lever 11 is in contact with the inner surface of the blade 8. lever 11 for the blade 8 to pivot about the pivot pins 7 to the planting position according to Fig. 2.

The blade 3 can be locked both in its entry position and in its planting position by a simple locking device comprising a flexible metal wire 14 locked by a clamping screw 13 on one side of the planting tube 1 (on the side opposite the foot lever 10) as shown in Fig. vertically spaced bends 15,16 into which the laterally diverging pin 17 in the branch of the bracket 9 on the locking device side is locked when the blade 8 pivots around the pivot pins 7. According to Figure 1, when the blade 3 is closed, the pin 17 is locked in the lower dead center, i.e. in the bend 16. When the foot lever 10 is pressed downwards

Claims (1)

3 63319 the blade 8 pivots upwards, causing the pin 17 to rotate and forcing the metal wire 13 to flex sideways, after which the pin 17 slides along the surface of the wire 14 into a top dead center bend 14 into which it locks under the tension of the wire 14. The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the above description and drawing of the invention, but can be modified within the scope of the appended claim. Seedling planting means comprising a planting tube (1) with a handle (2), the lower end of which has a blade (3) forming a planting pit in the ground, comprising a fixed jaw (4) with a wedge-shaped bevel (4) in the extension of the planting tube (1) ), to the sides of which are attached pivot pins (7) in a vertical plane passing through the center line of the planting tube (1), on which a l-shaped bracket (9) is mounted at its branches, the arcuate part of which is fixed to the upper end of the movable jaw (8). the second pivot pin (7) is further supported by a foot lever (1G) on the other side of the planting tube (1), to the end of which the pivot pin (7) has a shorter lever (11) attached perpendicularly downwards, whereby the foot lever (1 □) is pressed down ) can be brought into its open planting position and locked to it by a locking device comprising a planting tube (1) attached to the side opposite the foot lever. n a flexible vertical metal wire (14) having spaced apart bends (15, 16) serving as top and bottom dead centers, and the locking device further comprising a pin securing laterally from the branch of the wire iron (9) on the wire (14) side (17), characterized in that when the foot lever (10) is pressed down, the lever (11) comes into contact with the inner surface of the movable jaw (B), forcing it to pivot upwards around the pivot pins (7), releasing the pin (17) as a bottom dead center. from the bend (16) and slides upwards along the surface of the wire (14), tensioning it laterally, after which it enters the upper dead center bend (15), to which it locks under the tension of the wire (14) when the movable jaw (8) is in its open planting position.
