Abstract:
A metering system for a row unit for individual dispensing of grains comprises metering devices having a chamber for carrying grains, whereby a defined pressure level in the chamber is higher than ambient pressure. At least two metering elements establish a border to the chamber, whereby the metering elements are arranged within the housing so that they can be turned and the metering elements consist of cut-outs arranged along a curved path for picking up grains. At least one grain dispensing area is intended, which is defined by the chamber and the metering elements. The grain dispensing area includes a seed inlet element for transporting separated grains to a seed metering pipe to dispense the separated grains into a furrow, whereby a pressure application device is arranged at the seed inlet element or the seed metering pipe, to produce an air stream for the acceleration of the grains.

Claim (Index 7):
The metering system according to  claim 6 , in which a guiding element is associated with the at least two metering devices, wherein the guiding element features a guiding path which is aligned at least partially parallel to the seed metering pipe and by means of which a change of direction of the grains can be accomplished, from a circular direction along a curved path into a linear direction towards the seed metering pipe.
