the scope of the invention and, as one of
these modifications, I have shown the spout
16 as provided with a wedge-shaped parti-
tion 87 which extends transversely across its
5 end, whereby the blast of air will be split,
one of these blasts being directed toward
the top of the cleaning compartment while
the lower blast is forced directly through
the machine. This structure becomes ex-
10 pedient in order that cotton may be so fed
through the machine as to allow the upper
brush 52 to work in conjunction with the
lower brush.
From the foregoing description, taken in
15 connection with the accompanying draw-
ings, it will be seen that a comparatively
simple machine has been provided for carry-
ing out the objects of the invention, yet that
the same constitutes a highly efficient de-
20 vice.
I claim:
1. A machine of the class described com-
prising a casing including a receiving com-
25 partment, and a cleaning compartment com-
municating therewith, a feeding wheel in
the receiving compartment, a cleaning brush
in the cleaning compartment, a foraminous
bottom for said cleaning compartment,
means for depositing the material to be.
cleaned into the receiving compartment, and
an air blast inlet into the receiving compart-ment for directing the material deposited
therein into the cleaning compartment.
2. A machine of the class described com-
prising a casing including a receiving coin- 35
partnent and a cleaning compartment,
means for discharging the material to be
cleaned into the receiving compartment,
cleaning means in the cleaningcompartment,
and an air blast inlet into said receiving 40
compartment for directing the material de-
posited therein, into the cleaning compart-
ment.
3. A machine of the class described com-
prising a casing including a receiving com-1
partment and a cleaning compartment,
cleaning means in the latter, means for con-
ducting the material to be cleaned into the
receiving compartment, and a pair of di-
verging air blast inlets into the receiving 50
compartment, for directing the material de-
posited therein into the cleaning compart-
ment, and for simultaneously spreading the
mass of material.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto a
set my hand in presence of two subscribing
witnesses.
