1225. Lees & Co., A., Taylor, R., and Bosworth, T. Jan. 17. Openers.-For feeding the cotton from bales to a bale-breaker or other opening-machine, the cylindrical bales 10 are supported upon rollers 2 or upon an endless apron 4 carried by the rollers, and are thereby unwound and supplied to the feedapron 1 of the opening-machine. Should the width of the bales be greater than that of the feedapron of the machine, the apron 1 is arranged in an inclined position with regard to the feed-apron of the machine, so that the fibre is spread evenly over the width of the feed-apron.
