PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a granule feeder which can not only feed granules in a row sowing state, but also can easily avoid the damages of granules, such as the peeling of coatings, even in a case of such the granules as unhulled rice seeds subjected to an iron coating treatment. SOLUTION: A guide body 53 for closing feeding dents 58 downward moved from a receiving portion 57 is disposed. The guide body 53 cancels a closing action for the feeding dents 58 in the lower portion of the feeding rotator 52 to appear a discharging portion 61 for discharging granules from the feeding dents 58 in the lower portion of the rotator 52. The guide body 53 has a base material 53a, a film body 53c forming a guide surface facing the peripheral surface 52s of the feeding rotator 52, and a cushion material 53b for receiving and supporting the film body 53c. The film body 53c and the cushion material 53b can elastically be deformed in the radial direction of the feeding rotator 52. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
