and the coarser waste particles which fall
into the first pocket may be utilized as food
for cattle.
It will be understood that by reason of the
5 fans being connected with the casings of the
separator and the agitator a suction will be
produced, and consequently a larger quantity
of the hulls and fiber will be drawn through
the sieves than would otherwise pass through.
io The shaft of the toothed drum 39 and also
the reel-shaft are driven from the shaft with
which the grinding-shaft 22 is connected.
The cylinder of the grinding-mill, the re-
volving screen or sieve, and the toothed drum
15 of the agitator are all made to rotate in the
same direction. The fans 50 are likewise
driven from the main shaft above referred to.
I desire it to be distinctly understood that
I do not confine myself to the exact arrange-
20 ment of the several portions of the apparatus
illustrated, nor to the exact arrangement or
form of the tube 48 and blower.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
25 Patent-
1. An apparatus for producing paper-stock
from cotton-seed hulls, comprising a crush-
ing-mill, a separator to which the crushed
hulls are delivered, and an air-blast grader
30 connected to the separator, substantially as
described.
2. An apparatus for producing paper-stock
from cotton-seed hulls, consisting of a grind-
ing-mill, a screen, an agitator, and means for
35 connecting the same, substantially as speci-
fled.
3. In an apparatus for producing paper-
stock from cotton-seed hulls, the combination,
with a separator and an agitator, of an air-
40 blast grader, substantially as and for the pur-
pose specified.
4. In an apparatus for producing paper-
s hock from cotton-seed hulls, the combination,
with the outlets of a separator and an agitator,
45 of an air-blast separating or grading device
connected with the said outlets, as and for
the purpose specified.
5. In an apparatus for producing paper-stock from cotton-seed hulls, a grinding-mill
consisting of a casing having one flaring end, 50
a detachable ring in said end and provided
with an interior ribbed or grinding surface at
the bottom and the flaring end and ring, and
a grinding-cylinder journaled in the easing,
conforming to its interior contour, provided 55
with a detachable ring at its flaring end, said
ring having a grinding-surface, substantially
as described.
6. In an apparatus for producing paper-
stock from cotton-seed hulls, the combination, 6c
with a casing having one flaring end and an
interior ribbed or grinding surface upon the
bottom and said flaring end and provided
with a detachable ring inserted at the flaring
end and having an inner grinding-surface, of 65
a cylinder held to revolve within and con-
forming to the interior contour of the easing,
feed-pins secured upon the periphery of said
grinding-cylinder below the casing-inlet, and
a detachable ring provided with a grinding- 70
surface secured upon the flaring end of the
cylinder, adapted to co-operate with the ring
of the casing, substantially as and for the pur-
pose specified.
7. In an apparatus for producing paper- 75
stock from cotton-seed hulls, an agitator con-
sisting of a casing having a depressed bottom,
a detachable screen held in the bottom, and a
drum held to revolve in the casing, provided
with a series of diagonal or spirally-arranged 8o
teeth, substantially as shown and described.
8. In an apparatus for producing paper-
stock from cotton-seed hulls, the combination,
with an agitator consisting of a casing having
a depressed bottom, a removable screen held 85
in said bottom, and a drum held to revolvein
the casing, provided with a series of diagonal
or spirally-arranged teeth, of a tube provided
with a series of pockets, a fan, and a connec-
tion between the fan, the bottom of the agi- 90o
tator, and the tube, substantially as specified.
