the air-pipe from the cotton-pipe to escape
solely at a point below the termination of the
communicating opening between the cotton-
pipe and chute and the air-pipe means.
5 5. In a cotton elevating and feeding mech-
anism of the class set forth, the combination
of a cotton-pipe communicating with a feed-
ing-chute, a valve means operative to cut off
communication between the cotton-pipe and
io chute, an air-pipe having a depending body
arranged adjacent to the cotton-pipe and the
upper part of the chute, an elongated screen
forming the means of communication between
the cotton-pipe and upper part of the chute
15 and air-pipe and its body, and a deflecting-par-
tition depending through a part of the air-
pipe and the body to shield the screen and
terminating below the lower end of the latter.
6. In a cotton elevating and feeding mech-
20 anism of the class set forth, the combination
of a cotton-pipe having a depending chute, an
air-pipe having a depending body arranged
over a portion of the cotton-pipe and upper
part of the chute, an elongated screen form-
25 ing the means of communication between the
cotton-pipe and upper part of the chute and
the air-pipe and its body, a deflecting-parti-
tion depending through a part of the air-pipe
and its body to shield the screen, and a valve
,o means in the lower part of the body to coop-
erate with the lower end of the deflecting-par-
tition.
7. In a cotton elevating and feeding mech-
anism of the class set forth, the combination
35 of a cotton-pipe communicating with a feed-
ing-chute, a valve means operative to cut off
communication between then cotton-pipe and
chute, an air-pipe. having a depending body
arranged adjacent to the cotton-pipe and the
40 upper part of the chute, an elongated screen
forming the means of communication between
the cotton-pipe and upper part of the chute
and air-pipe and its body, a deflecting-parti-
tion depending through a part of the air-pipe
45 and the body to shield the screen and termi-
nating below the lower end of the latter, anda valve means in the lower part of the body
cooperating with the. lower end of the parti-
tion.
8. In a mechanism of the class set forth, the 50
combination with a cotton-conveying conduit
and a . depending feeding-chute, of a pneu-
matic conduit communicating with the cotton-
conduit and upper part of the chute, an elon-
gated screen over the point of communica- 55
tion between the conduits, and a depending
adjustable means in the pneumatic conduit to
shield the screen, the said deflecting means
being curved outwardly with respect to the
screen to increase the space between the lat- 6a
ter and the said means.
9. In a device of the class set forth, a cot-
ton conveying and feeding conduit, a pneu-
matic conduit communicating with the for-
mer conduit, a screen disposed over the com- 65
municating opening between the conduits,
and an intercepting device depending down-
wardly through the pneumatic means at a dis-
tance from the screen and forming an air-
shield for the latter. 70
10. In a mechanism of the class set forth, the
combination with an elevating and feeding
conduit having a chute connected therewith,
of a pneumatic conduit communicating with
the said elevating and feeding conduit and a 75
part of the chute, a screen extending over the
communicating opening between the conduits
and chute, a deflector within the pneumatic
conduit and projecting below the lower ter-
minal of the screen and forming an air-shield 8o
for the latter, and overlapped blades or slats
arranged adjacent to the lower end of the
screen within a portion of the pneumatic con-
duit between the said screen and lower ex-
tremity of the deflector. 85
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand in presence of two subscribing wit-
nesses.
