A first receiving frame 9 on which a box 8 is placed and supported is provided in such a manner that it can be reciprocated up and down between an upper box loading location and a lower box loading location by a link mechanism 9b that is extended and contracted by a hydraulic cylinder 9a. 1st
A first pressing member 10 that also contacts and presses the box 8 on the receiving frame 9 rearward is provided so as to be reciprocated back and forth by a hydraulic cylinder 10a, and the box 8 pressed by the first pressing member 10 is Second receiving frame 11 to be placed and supported
is intermittently raised by a height corresponding to the grass height each time a piece of pine-like grass W is taken out upward from the lower box receiving location by a link mechanism 11b that is expanded and contracted by a hydraulic cylinder 11a. driven, and
When all the pine-shaped grass W is taken out, a second pressing member 12 is provided in a state where it is driven downward to the box receiving location, and presses the empty box 8 of the second receiving frame 11 forward and returns it to the first receiving frame 9. It is provided to be reciprocated back and forth by a hydraulic cylinder 12a, and automatically feeds the topmost of the plurality of pine-like grasses stored in the box 8 on the second receiving frame 11 to the rear supply point in sequence. The six needle-like locking members 13 to be transported and released are controlled by a vertical driving cylinder 14 and a longitudinal driving cylinder 15.
The grass is driven reciprocatingly along an inverted U-shaped trajectory, and the hydraulic cylinders 13a are extended and swung toward each other to stab the upper surface of the pine-shaped grass W in an inclined posture, and the hydraulic cylinders 13a A first belt 16 is provided so that the cylinders 13a are swung apart from each other to release the stabbing by the shortening operation of the cylinders 13a, and that the pine-shaped grass W supplied from the locking member 13 is placed and conveyed to the planting location on the ground. Furthermore, a second belt 17 is provided which locks and transfers the pine-shaped grass W conveyed by the first belt 16 from above.

してある。 and a group of switches for detecting the expansion and contraction stroke amounts of each of the hydraulic cylinders 9a...
Based on information from a timer device that sets the expansion and contraction operation time, a device that counts the number of pine-like grass W stored in the box 8 to be taken out, etc., the machine automatically operates in a preset order. The structure is such that pine-like grass is automatically planted sequentially as the process progresses.

さらに詳述すると、各シリンダ９ａの作動によ
つて次の如く植付作業が行なわれる。 More specifically, the planting operation is performed as follows by the operation of each cylinder 9a.

作業者がマツト状芝Ｗを装填した箱８を第１
受枠９に装填すると、第１受枠９が下降移動す
る。 The worker places box 8 loaded with pine-like grass W into the first box.
When the receiving frame 9 is loaded, the first receiving frame 9 moves downward.

実に運搬させることができるのである。 That is, in order to automatically transport a plurality of sheets of pine-like grass W that are stacked one on top of the other to a supply point one by one, the topmost sheet of the stored pine-like grass W is A plurality of needle-like locking members 13 are provided to sequentially transport the material to the supply point, and the topmost one of the plurality of pine-like grass W is Unlike the lowest pine-shaped grass W, its movement is not restricted by the weight of other pine-shaped grass W, so it can be accurately transported one by one by the locking members 13. It is. Moreover, by moving the plurality of needle-like locking members 13 closer to each other or moving them apart from each other so as to pierce the upper surface of the pine-like grass W in an inclined posture, it is possible to prevent the grass W from easily collapsing, for example. Compared to piercing the side surface of the pine-like grass W, damage to the pine-like grass W can be avoided and the pine-like grass W can be supported reliably, and each of the locking members 13... but,
With the other locking members 13 reliably preventing the pine-like grass W from falling off from each of them by mutually preventing the pine-like grass W from moving in the falling direction, the pine-like grass W can be unexpectedly prevented from falling off. Since it is designed to be supported reliably so that it does not come off, the pine-shaped grass W can be transported reliably without being damaged or accidentally dropped during transport.

もつて、冒記要望を満足させて、極めて良好な
芝植付作業を行なわせることが可能となつた。 In the end, it has become possible to satisfy the above-mentioned requirements and perform extremely good grass planting work.
