DEVICE FOR MANUALLY TRANSPLANTING PLANTS (VARIANTS)

摘要

The device is intended for manually transplanting plants. In order to prevent a clod of earth from crumbling apart during transfer and planting of a plant which is being transplanted, blades are used to cut a triangular pyramid in the ground around the plant root. Alignment of the blades around the edges and fixing of said blades during transfer of the plant is ensured by limiters. In a first variant, three blades and a limiting edge in the form of three isosceles trapeziums which are connected along the lateral sides are used. In a second variant, two planes are cut by a main blade and a third plane is cut by a shutting blade in the form of a plate with the shape of an isosceles triangle. The lifting of the limiting edge or the main blade leads to the lifting of the entire device together with the clod of earth around the plant. The triangular shape of the device makes it possible for the blade to penetrate deeper into loose ground at the transplanting location without a hole first being dug.
