common-GIN.
To all 'whom t may concernz. y Be it known that I, OSCAR CALVIN Mej- BRIDE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Granite, in the county of Kiowa and-State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Cotcation.
My invention relatesgenerally to improvements in cotton gins, and more particton-Gins, of whichy the yfollowing isa specii- Y maintain the door in closed position against ularly to improvements inlintflues thereof.
An importantfobj ect of my invention is to provide a lint flue with means adapted to automatically operate to discharge thel cot# ton from the lint flue when the pressure therein becomes excessivey by reason of the improper action of the condenser or to other causes.
Anotherobject is to provide a device yof this kind which will not necessitate any special construction of gin or condenser, and which will not in any way interfere with the normal operation of the'cotton gin as -a whole.
Other objects and advantages reside'in certain novel advantagesk of the construction, arrangement andcombinationof parts whichwill become apparent as the descrip` tion proceeds, reference being hadqto the accompanying drawings forming a part of .this specification, and in which Y Figure 1 is an elevational view of my invention, parts being broken` away for the sake of illustration,
F ig.v 2 is a vertical cross section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1,and f a Fig. 3 is adetail sectional view of the spring catch and adjacent structure, the parts being exiaggeratedv and the curvature of the lint flue wall and door being neglected.
for-,the sake of illustration.
Referring to the drawing, itwill be seen the numeral 5 indicates a lint flueV which leads fromthe ycotton gin,` (not shown) to the condenser. rlhe condenser may be of any vdesired type or construction and is shown diagrammatically for thev sake of illustration, as including a casing 6 and a screen. roller 7. The cotton is fed by means of a-forced draft from the ginto the condenser in the usual manner as shownby'the arrows in Fig. l.
. g Application led June 26, 1919. Serial No. 306,917.`
The lint llue 5 is usually of circular cross section asshown in Fig. 2, and is provided with an opening Sin the wall thereofwhich constitutes the vent. A closure, preferably in the form of a door 9 is provided for the opening and hinged thereto at its lower end as at .9. Any suitable means which will `adapted to coperate with the door so as to allow the door to swing outwardly under the influence of excessive pressure so as not to `impede the discharge of the cotton from the flue but to hold sameclosed against normal i pressure.
.The spring catch 10 comprises a bracket portion consisting of a base 11 secured to the wallv of the lint flue b means of bolts and nuts 12 or the like. formed integral with the base and are provided with alined aperturesto receive vthe pivot bolt 14 mounted therein. A trip 15 is mounted on the pivot bolt 14 and has its lower end 15 bearingy against the upper end of the door 9. This trip "has its upper end bent'aroundfto form a journal by which the trip is mounted on thepivot bolt and this upper end after completing the journal is then bent back on itself and extends upwardly and then outwardly substantially at right angles, to Iform a trip arm 16. A bladespring 17 is secured to the upperportion of the bracket 11 preferably by means standing ears13 are of the bolts and nuts 12 which also serve'fto f secure the bracket to the lint lineas .pre`
viously described.v The lower'portion of the spring 17 Lbears against the `trip arm land of the pivot bolt 14` with respect tothe ar.
rangement of the trip7 trip `armand spring itself. y Y l As is well known in the art, thev cotton is fed fromV the gin through` the flue-under forced draft to the condenser. At times,
`however, the condensery does not operate :draft acts upon the door 9 and forces the same outwardly against the action of the trip arm t5. whichtends to hold the same closed by virtue of the action of the spring 17". As the door 94v moves. outwardly the tri-.p
v 15 is-alsoy moved outwardly and the tri-p arm 1,6 moves upwardly. After the trip arm 16 moves upward beyond the horizontal plane of the pivot bolt-'14; the effective action ofthe spring f7 with respect tothe trip 15 is reversed and the trip is then thrown upwardly to thel position shown in dotted lines, in Eig. 3 andV is held in this position. The door then falls; freely outward and the cotton flows freely outof the opening. YIn this manner any possibility of the cotton backing up. into 'the ginA proper and thereby damagingF the same .is effectively precluded,
After the clogging has been relieved, the door is closedl andy the trip reset by seizing the portion 15 and pulling the same down to position near the door. Thetrip snaps against the door and holds thefsame closed, though effective to automatically operate to allowthe same topopen as previously described.y
