Reseeding device
First Claim
1. Reseeding device (1) configured for introducing grass seeds into an existing turf, comprising a rotatable shaft (2) which is provided with a number of blades (3) along its length which are arranged at right angles to the shaft and which are configured for cutting furrows into the turf and loosening and removing turf material, a grass seed reservoir (13) and a seed distributor (4) configured for spreading grass seeds from the grass seed reservoir (13) at least into the furrows produced, wherein the grass seed reservoir (13) is detachable from the seed distributor (4), wherein the device (1) is configured, in use, to discharge the material loosened by the blades (3) over the shaft (2) and over the seed distributor (4), along a direction (A) opposite to the direction of travel, so that the spread grass seeds are at least partly covered by the loosened material, and wherein the seed distributor (4) comprises a number of outlet openings (6) for grass seeds, and at least one conveyor screw (7, 8) which is configured to convey the grass seeds through the seed distributor (4) along said openings (6).

Abstract
The present invention relates to a reseeding device (1) configured for introducing grass seeds into an existing turf, comprising a rotatable shaft (2) which is provided with a number of blades (3) along its length which are at right angles to the shaft (2) and which are configured for cutting furrows into the turf and loosening and removing parts of the turf, a seed distributor (4) configured for spreading grass seeds at least in the furrows produced, in which the device (1) is configured, in use, to discharge the material loosened by the blades (3) over the shaft (2) and the seed distributor (4), along a direction (A) opposite to the direction of travel, so that the scattered grass seeds are at least partly covered by the loosened material. A reseeding device (1) of such design has the significant advantage that the loosened material does not form an impediment during reseeding.
