     The seed planter  1  capable of removing soil according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a body which has a hollow interior and is formed in a cylindrical shape both ends of which are open, wherein a handle  11  is detachably engaged to an upper side of the body, and a cylinder  13  having an inner diameter expanding to accommodate wrapping vinyl  100  and soil is provided at a lower side of the body, and an engaging ring  15  is provided at the upper and lower sides of the body  10 ; a vertical moving member  20  which is disposed vertically movable inside the body  10  and is elastically biased upward, wherein an upper end of the vertical moving member  20  is exposed to an upper, outer side of the body  10 , and a lower end thereof is accommodated in the inside of the cylinder  13 , and the lower end thereof elastically comes and goes toward the lower outer side of the cylinder  13  depending on the pressing on the upper end side thereof; a counting member  30  which is installed on the body  10  and is connected with the vertical moving member  20 , thus counting the number that the vertical moving member  20  vertically moves; a supply tube member  40  which is disposed selectively passing through the engaging ring  15 , thus providing a selective supply of seeds, water or fertilizer, wherein the inside of the supply tube member  40  is hollow, and the supply tube member  40  is formed in a cylindrical shape both ends of which are open; a tape measure  50  which is provided at a lower side of the body  10  and comes and goes in the direction which is horizontal with the ground; and a needle member  60  for collecting vinyl, which is disposed spaced a predetermined distance from a side surface of the body  10 , wherein the lower side of the needle member  60  is fixed at the lower side of the body  10 , and the upper side thereof is detachably fixed at the upper side of the body  10 . 
     Hereinafter, the components and operations of the seed planter capable of removing soil according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
     Here, the body  10  forms the whole outer appearance of a seed planter  1  and is configured to play a role of accommodating components which will be described later and is formed in a cylindrical shape. When in use, the body  10  maintains upright on the ground. 
     The body  10  has a hollow inside, and both ends of the body  10  are formed in open cylindrical shapes. A handle  11  is detachably engaged to the top of the body  10 , and at the bottom thereof, there are provided a wrapping vinyl  100 , and a cylinder  13  having a predetermined inner diameter which expands to accommodate soil. An engaging ring  15  is formed at the upper and lower sides of the body  10 . 
     The handle  11  protrudes at both upper sides of the body  10  for a user to grab and is thread-engaged for the sake of selective separation. Here, the handle  11  allows a worker to grab and enables the cylinder  13  to press the soil, and a rope member  70  may be fixedly inserted into the handle  11 . 
     The cylinder  13  communicates with the body  10 , and both ends of the cylinder  13  are open to allow a vertical moving member  20  to come and go, and the inside of the cylinder  13  is hollow, and the inner diameter of the cylinder  13  expands more than the body  10 . At this time, the inner diameter of the cylinder  13  allows to determine the size of the hole formed in soil. It is preferred that one of the cylinders  13  having various sizes can be selectively engaged to the bottom of the body  10 . At this time, an engaging method of the body  10  and the cylinder  13  may be a known method selected among a thread engagement, a press fitting method, etc. An edge portion of the cylinder  13  is formed sharp to cut the wrapping vinyl  100  and at the same time to easily accommodate soil. 
     The engaging ring  15  is configured for a supply tube member  40  to be inserted into the engaging ring  15 . The engaging ring  15  is provided at the upper side and the lower side, respectively, in the same direction so that the supply tube member  40  can be vertically inserted, wherein the engaging rings  15  are connected. In addition, a tightening screw  15   a , which can come and go based on the tightening, is provided at each engaging ring  15 , so the supply tube member  40  inserted into the inside can be fixed based on the tightening. The supply tube member  40  can be formed as a tube, but may be formed as a double pipe. In this case, the supply tube member  40  of the upper side may be fixed to the engaging ring  15  of the lower side using a tightening screw  15   a , and the supply tube member  40  of the lower side is disposed movable in the engaging ring  15  of the upper side, not fixed by the tightening screw  15   a . When the cylinder  13  of the body  10  moves into the soil, the supply tube member  40  of the lower side is pushed in the engaging ring  15  of the lower side by the soil toward the upper side, and after the formation of the holes are finished, and the body  10  is lifted up, the supply tube member  40  returns back to its initial position by its self-weight. An engaging protrusion  41  is formed protruding from an outer circumferential portion of the supply tube member  40  so as to prevent a separation of the supply tube member from the engaging ring  15 , wherein the engaging protrusion  41  is supported by the top of the engaging ring  15  of the lower side. The above-described engaging ring  15  may be exchanged with an engaging ring  15  selected based on the size of the supply tube member  40 . 
     Meanwhile, the vertical moving member  20  is disposed vertically movable in the inside of the body  10 . When the piston  23  presses the soil, the vertical moving member  20  moves upward, and when it is pressed downward by the user, the piston  23  accommodated in the inside of the cylinder  13  exposes to the outside of the cylinder  13 , which allows the soil accommodated in the cylinder  13  to discharge to the outside. The vertical moving member  20  allow to remove the wrapping vinyl  100  from the fixing pin  25  when the wrapping vinyl  100  gathers by a predetermined amount. 
     The vertical moving member  20  may include, but is not limited to, a linear rod  21  accommodated in the inside of the body  10 , a piston  23  which is fixed at a lower end of the rod  21  and has an inwardly concave groove and is accommodated inside the cylinder  13 , a fixing pin which protrudes downward from the lower end of the piston  23  and first collects the wrapping vinyl  100  which is cut by the cylinder  13  and is passed through the fixing pin, a support protrusion  27  which protrudes from both front ends of the fixing pin  25  and supports the wrapping vinyl  100  which is passed through and first collected by the fixing pin  25 , thus preventing the collected wrapping vinyl from separating, and a first spring member which is interposed between the piston and the cylinder and elastically biases downward the piston. 
     The vertical moving member  20  is disposed vertically movable inside the body  100  and is elastically biased downward by a first spring member  23   a  and is elastically supported upward by a second spring member  17 . Namely, when the user presses the portion of the cylinder  13  toward the soil so as to form the holes at the soil furrow  120 , the piston  23  inside the cylinder  13  is pushed upward by the soil. At this time, the first spring member  23   a  contracts, and part of the soil is filled in the inside of the cylinder  13 . When the formation of the holes are finished, and the cylinder  13  is moved out of the soil, the first spring member  23   a , which has contracted, returns back to its initial shape, and the piston  23  is elastically biased downward. 
     The upper side of the vertical moving member  20  exposes to the upper outer side of the body  10 , and the lower side of the vertical moving member  20  elastically comes and goes by the second spring member  17  toward the lower outer side of the cylinder depending on the pressing of the user. Namely, if the rod  21  exposed to the upper outer side of the body  10  is pressed downward, the piston  23  fixed at a lower end of the rod  21  is exposed to the outside through the lower side of the cylinder  13 , and a plurality of wrapping vinyl  100  cut by the cylinder  13  are first stacked and collected by means of the fixing pin  25 . At this time, referring to  FIG. 4 , it needs to separate the pin member  32  from the vertical moving member  20  so as to move the vertical moving member  20  downward. In addition, the wrapping vinyl  100  collected by the fixing pin  25  are not randomly separated from the fixing pin  25  by means of the support protrusion  27 . 
     In addition, a circular plate-shaped support member  29  corresponding to the shape of a horizontal cross section of the body  10  is provided at the vertical moving member  20  which is exposed to the upper outer side of the body  10 . A second spring member  17  is interposed between the upper end surface of the body  10  and the lower end surface of the support member  29  so as to elastically bias upward the vertical moving member  20 . 
     In addition, at the vertical moving member  20  which is exposed to the upper outer side, there is provided a rope member  70  fixed at the handle  11  of one side so as to fix the downwardly descended position of the vertical moving member  20 , and a shoulder band member  80  is further provided, wherein a fixing hook  81  is disposed at both ends of the fixing hook  81 . The position of the vertical moving member  20  is fixed using the rope member  70 . The worker can put on the seed planter  1  in a state where the fixing hooks  81  of both sides are selectively fixed at the seed planter  1  when it need to remove the wrapping vinyl  100  which has been first collected in the cylinder  13 . Namely, in a state where the vertical moving member  20  has descended, the vertical moving member  2  tends to move upward by the second spring member  17 . The state where the vertical moving member  20  has descended, namely, the state where the piston  23  fixed at the lower end of the rod  21  has been exposed to the outside through the bottom of the cylinder  13  can be fixed in such a way to fixedly insert the rope member  70  into the handle  11  of one side. At this time, the workers can put on the seed planter  1  after fixing the fixing hook  81  at one side of each of the upper and lower sides of the body  10 , thus removing the wrapping vinyl  100  which has been first collected at the side of the fixing pin  25 . 
     A counting member  30  is installed on the body  10 . The counting member  30  is configured to count the number that the vertical moving member  20  has moved vertically, so the worker can know how many holes he has made and how much seeds he has planted. 
     The counting member  30  is connected through a wire  31  to a pin member  32  which is engaged detachable to the vertical moving member  20 , thus counting the number that the vertical moving member  20  has moved vertically. For this, the counting member is connected through the wire  31  to the pin member  32  which is engaged detachable to the vertical moving member  20  through a through slit  19  formed in the longitudinal direction at the body  10 , thus mechanically counting the number of the vertical movements with the aid of the wire  31  which pulls when the vertical moving member  20  ascends. The above-described counting member  30  is the same as the conventional counting device, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted for simplification. 
     Meanwhile, the supply tube member  40  selectively passes through the engaging rings of the upper and lower sides. The supply tube member  40  are inserted into the holes formed by the body  10 , so seed  110 , water, fertilizer, etc. can be supplied through the inside of the supply tube member  40 . For this, the inside of the supply tube member  40  is hollow and is formed in a cylindrical shape both ends of which are open. Multiple supply tube units may be provided for the inputs of seeds, water, fertilizer or the like or only supply tube unit may be provided. 
     In addition, when supplying water, a hose member of a portable water tank  90  that a worker can put on during work may be connected to the top of the water supply tube  40 . The supply of water from the hose member  91  to the supply tube member  40  can be performed by controlling a valve  93  provided at one side of the hose member. 
     Meanwhile, at one lower side of the body  10 , there is provided a tape measure member  50  which comes and goes in the direction the tape measure  50  is horizontal with respect to the ground. The tape measure  50  provides the intervals at which the holes are formed. If the interval at which the holes are formed is 40 cm, the tape measure of the tape measure member  50  is withdrawn by 40 cm and is fixed, so the worker can make holes at accurate intervals while confirming the intervals. 
     In addition, a needle member  60  is disposed spaced a predetermined distance from a side surface of the body  10 . The needle member  60  serves to second collect the wrapping vinyl  100  which has been collected by the fixing pin  25 . The lower side of the needle member  60  is fixed at a lower side of the body  10 , and the upper side thereof is fixed detachable at the upper side of the body  10 . 
     Namely, the needle member  60  is disposed spaced a predetermined distance from the body  10  in parallel with the body  10 , and the lower side of the needle member  60  is bent toward the body  10  and is fixedly engaged, and the upper side thereof is selectively fixed at or separates from a fixing clip  51  provided at the body  10 . The top of the needle member  60  is formed sharp for the wrapping vinyl to pass through, so the wrapping vinyl  100  and  60  collected by the fixing pin  25  can be second collected. 
     The operations of the seed planter  1  capable of removing vinyl according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to  FIG. 6A  to  FIG. 6G . 
     First, the worker withdraws a tape measure from the tape measure member  50  by the intervals at which the holes are formed and fixes it. Next, the cylinder  13  is positioned where the holes will be formed. Here, the body  10  remains vertical with respect to the ground, and the worker is holding the handles  11  with both hands. 
     The worker who is holding the handles  11  presses the body  10  downward using his weight and forms the holes at the soil furrows  120 . At this time, the piston  23  in the cylinder  13  ascends, and the number of the holes formed is counted by the counting member  30 , and the cut wrapping vinyl  100  and soil are accommodated in the inside, and at the same time, the supply tube member  40  positioning in the engaging ring  15  is pressed by the ground and naturally ascends upward. After the formation of the holes are finished, the supply tube member  40  returns back to its initial position, and the piston  23  returns back to its initial position by the first spring member  23   a  while discharging the soil filled in the inside. If the discharge of the soil is not good, the worker may lightly touch with his foot the cylinder  13  for reliable discharge or may separate the pin member  32  and moves downward the vertical moving member  20  so as to forcibly discharge the soil with the aid of the piston  23 . In addition, the wrapping vinyl  100  accommodated in the cylinder  13  is passed through by the fixing pin  25  and is first collected, and the collected wrapping vinyl  100  cannot be randomly separated from the fixing pin  25  with the aid of the support protrusion  27  protruding from the front end of the fixing pin  25 . 
     Next, the lower end of the supply tube member  40  is inserted into the hole formed at the soil furrow  120 , and the seeds  110 , fertilizer, water, etc. is selectively supplied. 
     The worker can repeatedly perform the above procedure, thus easily forming the holes. When the wrapping vinyl  100  is collected in the fixing pin  25  by a predetermine amount, the pin member  32  is separated, and the vertical moving member  20  is downwardly moved, and the rope member  70  is inserted into the handle  11  of one side, and the position of the vertical moving member  20  is fixed, and the fixing pin  25  is exposed to the lower side of the cylinder  13 , and then the worker puts on the seed planer  1  using the shoulder band  80 . Next, the wrapping vinyl  100  is separated from the fixing pin  25 , and the needle member  60  at an outer side of the body  10  is separated from the fixing clip  51 , and the wrapping vinyl  100 , which has been first collected, is passed through, thus second collecting the wrapping vinyl. 
     As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
