Abstract:
A sowing shovel for sowing seed gradually; the sowing shovel having a body, an adjusting rod at a bottom of the body, a plate for adjusting the adjusting rod to move reciprocally; whereinthe body has a concave shovel portion at a front section thereof and a handle at the rear section thereof; two sides of the concave shovel portion are inclined upwards; a center of the body is formed with a slender horizontal portion; the horizontal portion is formed with a track; two sides of the concave shovel portion are installed with embedding holes for confining a stop portion arranged across the two sides of the concave shovel portion; a bottom of the sowing shovel has a pass hole for receiving falling seeds; the handle is hollowed; an interior of the handle has a stopping rib for confining the movement of the plate; the connection of the handle and the concave shovel portion has a penetrating hole for being inserted by the adjusting rod; an upper side of the penetrating hole has a buckling groove; after the adjusting rod and the plate are placed therein, an upper cover is located upon the buckling groove; the upper cover has a via hole at a position with respect to the stopping rib; the adjusting rod passes through the penetrating hole at the connection of the concave shovel portion and the handle; a portion at a lower end of the adjusting rod corresponding to the track has a series of resisting blocks; an area of each buckling block is slightly smaller than the track so that the buckling block moves reciprocally in the track; and a plate is located on an upper side of the adjusting rod; a top surface of the plate slightly protrudes from a top of the via hole of the upper cover; an area of the plate is smaller than the via hole and is capable of moving reciprocally in the via hole; wherein the plate drives the adjusting rod to move forwards and backwards between the handle and the concave shovel portion so that some seeds are placed in the concave shovel portion of the sowing shovel in advance; then the sowing shovel digs soil in the earth so that a hole is formed; then the plate is moved to drive the adjusting rod to move backwards so that a space is formed between a bottom of the concave shovel portion and the pass hole of the stop portion for receiving falling seeds.
