Machine for cutting and sorting grafts and graft carriers involved in a grafting operation

摘要

The present invention relates to a machine for cutting and sorting grafts and graft carriers used in a grafting operation. This machine comprises a plate transporter 1 comprising fixings 2 and a device for sorting the tendrils 21. According to the invention, the fixings 2 are equipped with a movable jaw 3 and a stationary jaw 4, upon which there are symmetrically formed clamping beds for the tendril, whose two walls form a right angle, and in that on the movable jaw 3 there is elastically mounted by joints a lever 5 which can move laterally and carries a stationary control finger 6 arranged perpendicularly and which is parallel to the surface where the plate transporter 1 is arranged, which transporter comprises a horizontal section, an inclined section and a vertical section, a vertical boss 7 for opening the vertical movable jaw 3, being provided in the zone of the vertical section, whilst parallel to the horizontal section, at a distance determined by the length of the lever 5 and at a gap of 0.5 mm, corresponding to the size of the transverse cut of the tendril, are arranged, one after the other, horizontal bumps 20 forming part of the calibration device. Application to the grafting of wine stocks. IMAGE
