Abstract

See full text

The invention is directed to a simple mechanical seed meter having a casing that is provided with holding and dividing combs in which is rotated a metering drum. The metering drum is provided with angled flutes which define seed receiving valleys. One side of the drum is the dispensing side and the flutes at that side are provided with upwardly extending fingers which define seed pockets for individual seeds. The seed pockets carry the singled seeds from the seed receiving space defined by the dividing comb to the seed dispensing space where there are released to the outlet of the casing. The combs are secured to the casing by a hook and loop fastener assembly.
