Description
JAMES E. HOOPEB, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
vIMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR CLEANING COTTON.
- Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52,289, dated January 30, 1866.
To all whom t may concern.:
Beit known that I, JAMES E. HoorER, of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Oleanin g Cotton; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and correct description thereof, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, forming pa-rt of this specilication, and to the letters ot' reference marked thereon.
rlhe same letters denote similar parts in all the gures.
In opening and cleaning cotton preparatory to carding and spinning it amachine is used which is called a willow.7 This machine is connected to along trough, through which the cotton is driven from the willow by a current of air set in motion by the willow. A Wire screen is placed in the lower part of the trough, to allow the dirt separating from the cotton to pass through.4
My improvement is mainly in the mode of arranging this screen or screens in the trough, for it' laid in one plane, as is usual, it ha's but a partial effect in separating the dirt from the cotton, because they pass so readily over the screen. To obviate this difculty I make a series of inclined planes of the screens, that the cotton in passing from one to another ot' these planes may receivea succession of shocks that will cause the dirt to fall from the cotton onto the screens and pass through in the receptacle below.
Figure l shows a vertical lengthwise section of a portion of the trough. Eig. 2 is a top view of the trough with the cover removed to show the screens.
Ais the trough through which the cotton passes. B B B- are the screens, placed so as to form a series of inclined planes sloping toward the willow. c c c are shutters, which are opened when it is necessary to remove the dirt that has collected in the bottom of the trough. The dotted lines a e s show an arrangement by which motion can be given to the screens by hanging them =on pivots a, and putting arms e on the ends ofthe pivots, and. connecting these arms together by a rod, s. The rod being pnt in motion by the machine will vibrate the ends of the screen up and down. The arrows J J show the direction in which the cotton passes from the willow.
The Operation is as follows: The cotton passes up out ofthe willow into the trough in the directions otl the arrows J J, when 'it strikes the irst incline, and bounding up passes forward and strikes the next incline, shaking the dirt ont, and passing on in this manner over all the screens, leaving the dirt behind in the screens and the cotton coming ont of the trough thoroughly cleaned.
The screens are usually made of wire-netting; but I do not confine my arrangement to that material, but apply it to screens made of perforated sheet metal or to screens made of any other material.
I claim- The combination of the screens, arranged BENJAMIN ARNOLD, JAMEs E. ARNOLD.
