Thet'op roller fibres. bikewisaandasclearly showmnFi- 7 the top of the picking roller is above the top of the roller R. Hence, the material which is removed from the rags by the pick ing cylinder 20 is thrown upwardly and away from rollers R and R, so that the heavy portions of said rags are thrown above the top of the adjustable slide into the collecting boX. As a rag is fed forwardly by the rollers Rand R, it is subjected to the stripping action of the teeth 21, before the rear end of the rag is released by the rollers R and R. The light fibres which are stripped from a rag are also thrown towards the collecting box 31, but these fibres are so light that they do not pass over the top of the adjustable slide 30, so that saidlight fibres are separated and can be removed through the outlet 32. The members 31 and 82 may be considered in effect as being separate chambers. The stripping means 20 first strips the stripped fibres and then throws the heavier residue of the rags away from the feed rollers R and R, and the resistance of the atmosphere automatically separates the said stripped fibres from the heavier portions of the rags. It will be noted that the collecting chamber 32 is below the stripping cylin der 20 so that by merely adjusting the slide 30 provided at the inlet end of'said chamber 32, the lighter fibres of the material can be separated from the heavier residues thereof. Likewise, the collecting chamber 31 for the heavier residues is in line with the circumferential niovement'of the stripping cylinder 20 so that the heavier'residues are thrown direct ly into said collecting chamber 31.
' I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it-is clear that numerous changes'and omissions could be made without departing from its spirit.
1. A picking 'machinej comprising a picking cylinder having teeth, means adapted to feed material to the said picking cylin'derso that the said picking cylinder operates to pick the fibres from the material, means adapted'to revolve said picking cylinder with sufficient ,velocity, so that the fibres are thrown away from said teeth, said picking cylinderpalso operating to throw the heavier residues of said material away from thesaid feeding means, a first collecting chamber for the lighter material located underneath the said picking cylinder, said collecting chamber having an} adjustable slide at the inlet thereof, said adjustable slide being located behind the said picking cylinder, and a second chamber for collecting the saidheavier residues, the said slide being between said picking cylinder and the inlet to said second chamber.
