What I claim is:-
1. A cotton gin including a plurality of
perforated disks fixed in spaced relation to
each other, suction flues projecting into the
5 alternate spaces between the disks, receiving
chutes which project into the other spaces,
and stripping blades arranged to extend into
the last mentioned spaces above said chutes.
2. A gin for seed cotton including a plu-
10 rality of perforated disks, fixed in spaced re-
lation to each other, means for rotating said
disks, a plurality of suction flues, .a plurality
of delivery chutes, said flues and chutes
being arranged alternatively and projecting
15 into the corresponding spaces between the
disks, and stripper blades arranged in the
spaces into which said chutes project and co-
acting with disks to strip the lint from the
seed.
20 3. A gin for seed cotton including a plu-
rality of perforated disks, fixed in spaced
relation, means for rotating said disks, a
plurality of suction flues, a plurality of de-
livery chutes, said flues and chutes being
25 arranged alternatively and projecting into
opposite spaces between the disks, and os-
cillating blades which project into the chute
spaces.
4. A gin for seed cotton including a plu-
30 rality of perforated disks fixed in spaced
relation; means for rotating the same, a
suction pipe, a conveyor pipe, a plurality of
suction flues connected to the suction pipe, a
plurality of suction chutes connected to the
35 conveyor pipe, said flues and chutes being
alternatively arranged and their free ends
projecting into the opposing spaces between
the disks, hoppers discharging seed cotton
into the chute spaces, and stripper blades
40 which project into the spaces between the
hoppers and chutes.
5. A device of the character described in-
cluding a plurality of perforated disks
spaced apart and fixed in their relation to
45 each other, means for rotating the disks,
a suction pipe, a suction flue connected to
said pipe and projecting into the space be-
tween two of said disks, said flue having lat-
eral openings through which the air is
50 drawn through the perforations of the disks,
a conductor pipe, chutes connected thereto,
arranged on opposite sides of the flue and
projecting into the corresponding spaces be-
tween the disks, hoppers arranged to de-
55 liver seed cotton into said last mentioned
spaces which is held against the disks on
each side by the air suction through thedisk perforations and oscillating blades pro-
jecting into said last mentioned spaces
against which said cotton is carried by said 60
disks, said blades arresting the seed and the
disks co-acting with said blades to strip the
.lint cotton from the seed and deliver the
same to said chutes.
6. In a device of the character described 65
a plurality of perforated stripper disks,
spaced apart and fixed in relation to each
other, suction flues, and conveyor chutes al-
ternatively arranged and projecting into
the corresponding spaces between the disks, 70
stripper blades arranged in the spaces into
which the chutes project, which cooperate
with the disks to strip the lint of seed cotton,
delivered into said spaces, from the seed
thereof, said flues being arranged to receive 75
said lint and to convey the same from said
spaces.
7. In a device of the character described a
plurality of perforated stripper- disks, fixed
in spaced relation, means for rotating the 80
same, suction flues, and conveyor chutes al-
ternatively arranged and projecting into the
corresponding spaces between the disks, hop-
pers arranged to discharge seed cotton into
the flue spaces, stripper blades projecting 85
into said last mentioned spaces between the
hoppers and chutes, said disks cooperating
with the blades to strip the lint cotton from
the seed preparatory to its delivery to said
chutes. 90
8. In a device of the character described a
plurality of perforated stripper disks, a
shaft upon which said disks are fixed in
spaced relation, means for rotating the
shaft, a suction pipe, a conductor pipe, a, 95
plurality of flues fixed to the suction pipe,
a plurality of chutes entering the conductor
pipe, said flues and chutes being arranged
alternatively with respect to each other and
their free ends projecting into the corre- 100
sponding spaces between the disks, a plu-
rality of hoppers arranged to discharge seed
cotton into the spaces into which said chutes
project, and oscillating stripper blades ar-
ranged in said last mentioned spaces be- 105
tween said hoppers and chutes.
In testimony whereof, he has signed his
name to this specification, in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
