Gin Attachment (open access)

Gin Attachment

Patent for improved attachments for cotton gins. Useful amendments include the improvement of the function of "moving and regulating the feeding of cotton to the gin and the ejection of refuse, hulls and chaff." (lines 13-15). This is accomplished with the addition of a mechanism that "at regular intervals, close the feeder, open the gin breast and discharge the hulls and waste and again close the gin and open the feeder." (lines 37-40).
