A meter assembly provides for dispensing a material, and in particular, a granular chemical agricultural material, from a moving device driven over terrain to be treated with the material. The device has a metering system for dispensing the material including a rotatable apertured disk for metering material from a product container and dispensing the material in controlled metered quantities. The metering disk is removable from its operating position within the dispensing device for inspection, repair or replacement purposes, without disassembling the overall apparatus, and a guide is provided for returning the metering disk to its operating position within the dispensing device. The apertures in the metering disk are oriented so that each aperture partially overlaps each adjacent aperture to result in continuous flow of the metered material through the metering disk as it rotates. <IMAGE> |
