Transfer planting device comprising gripper moving between gripping and release positions - has quantity of preferably aligned grip components for firm packing and release of plants

摘要

A spreading mechanism with a drive has at least a part of the quantity of grip components fixed to it so that the reciprocal intermediate distance between the grip components can be altered in accordance with a predetermined pattern. The gripper (21) is fitted at the one free end of an arm (53) which is fixed at its other end rotatably on a support frame. A crank drive mechanism (56,57) causes the arm to pivot between the grip and release positions.
