ARTHUR BRUNE AND CHARLES H. STONE, OF COLEYVILLE, TEXAS.
COTTON-CLEANING MACHINE.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 6, 1919.
Application filed May 11, 1917. Serial No. 167,960.
7o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ARTHUR BRUNE and
CHARLES H. STONE, citizens of the United
States, and residents of Coleyville, in the
5 county of Cottle and State of Texas, have
invented certain new and useful Improve-
ments in Cotton-Cleaning Machines, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful'
10 improvements in machines for cleaning cot-
ton, and the primary object of the invention.
is to provide a device of this character that
includes in a single casing, means for clean-
ing bolly and seed cotton and separating
15 the lint therefrom, and a suction operated
draft outlet for drawing the clean cotton
from the machine, and feeding the same to
the gin stand.
Another object of the invention is to pro-
20 vide a cotton cleaning machine of this char-
acter provided with a suction control out-
let, that has a branch associated therewith,
to draw the lint from the cotton during the
cleaning operation.
25 A still further object of the invention is
to provide a device of this character which
is easily and simply constructed, inexpensive
to manufacture, and one which will be very
efficient in operation.
30 With these and numerous other objects in
view our invention consists of the novel fea-
tures of construction, combination and ar-
rangement of parts which will be herein-
referred to and more particularly pointed
35 out in the specification and claim.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a. side elevation of the ma-
chine;
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section
40 through the same, and
Fig. 3 is a top plan detailed view of a por-
tion of the movable comb that is associated
with the cleaning means.
In describing our invention we shall refer
45 to the drawings in which similar reference
characters, designate corresponding parts
throughout the several views. The numeral
1 designates a supporting frame of our ma-
chine, which comprises a plurality of up-
50 right standards having a main supporting
frame 2 carried thereby, which supports the
main portion 3 of the casing, which has the
beating means' for the cotton contained
therein. The casing which forms a cover
55 for the whole machine is divided into two
parts, the parts 3 containing the beatingmeans, while the part designated by the nu-
meral. 4 contains the cotton separating
means. The inlet for the machine desig-
nated 5 is through the end portion 3 of the 60
casing, while the outlet 6 is connected with
the separating means in the portion 4 of
said casing.
The portion 3 of the casing contains a
pair of cylindrical beaters 7 mounted oni 65
horizontally extending axes S 'extending
through the sides of the casing, and mount-
ed on the frame 2. These beaters are re-
volved by any desired means, the same be-
ing adapted to be rotatably connected, as 70
also is a rotatably mounted conveyer 9 dis-
posed adjacent the rear of said beaters. Di-
rectly within the inlet 5 of the machine, is
a guide member 10, that directs the cotton
drawn therein downwardly against the first 75
of the beaters 7. Adjustably mounted with-
in said portion 3, and cooperatively related
with the beaters 7 is a comb 11, provided
with a projecting handle 12, that permits the
adjustment of the same, said comb com- 80
prising a plurality of stationary teeth which,
as have been stated are cooperatively re-
lated with the projecting teeth 13 on the
beater. This will carry the cotton there-
through, and 'tend to remove the heavier 85
particles of dirt from the same, and as said
cotton is carried by the teeth on the beater
through the machine, it passes over arcuate
screens 14 positioned beneath beaters, and
owing to the action to which said cotton is 90
subjected the dirt, etc., will be shaken there-
from and dropped into a receptacle 15 that
is positioned beneath said screens. The re-
ceptacle 15 is provided with an outlet door
16, whereby the dirt may be removed there- 95
from when the receptacle is: filled.
As the cotton passes from the 'rear beater
7, it will be engaged by the rotatably mount-
ed conveyer 9, which comprises a plurality
of radially projecting blades 17 mounted on 100
a horizontally extending axis, said blades
having their outer ends connected by rubber
strips 18, which will gather the, cotton and
pass the same therethrough and into the
portion 4 of the casing, as. clearly shown in 105
Fig. 2 of the drawings.
The portion 4 of the casing in which is
positioned the cotton separating means has
mounted therein a pair of rotatably mount-
ed disintegrating rolls 19, which have dis- 110
posed adjacent thereto three picker wheels
20, 'which are cooperatively ,elated there.1,303,160.
