COTTON GrIN WITH LINT CLEANER 
AND CONDENSER. 
EMERYS’ PATENT. 
Plate Y, No. 2. 
§ g. The great necessity of cleaning the cotton from foreign matter either before or dur¬ 
ing the process of ginning, has caused inventors to produce a great many devices, some of 
which have met with a partial success, while much the greater number have never proved 
of any practical benefit. 
The proprietors, after having become 
familiar with the wants of the cotton 
grower as well as with the numerous in¬ 
ventions for the purpose of separating 
the lint from the sand and dust which 
the seed cotton contains, have invented 
and successfully put in practical opera¬ 
tion, such a machine as they believe will 
prove all they claim for it. Among all 
former inventions for the purpose, none 
seem to have contained a design for 
making this separation after the lint has 
escaped from the ginning process, but 
on the contrary they have had reference 
to the manipulating of the seed cotton 
during its being fed to the gin or while 
it was undergoing the ginning process 
within the gin itself. 
§ h. This invention not only pos¬ 
sesses the merit of producting a 
thorough separation of the flint and 
dust, but it delivers the cleaned lint in 
a very convenient and condensed con¬ 
dition, suitable for pressing and market. 
This invention also has another impor- 
H! tance, which is, that it can be operated 
equally well in the open field as the or¬ 
dinary grain thresher or in a gin house 
or other buildings at the pleasure of the 
| operator. 
§ i. As represented in the cut an¬ 
nexed, this invention consists of an at¬ 
tachment to accompany any cotton gin, 
and consists of a trunk commencing at 
the discharging side of the gin and ex¬ 
tending some six to ten feet, and open¬ 
ing at its outer end upon a revolving 
wire gauze cylinder; this trunk is 
closely fitted so as to conduct and dis¬ 
charge all the wind, lint, sand and dust 
upon the said gauze cylinder, the sand 
and dust passing through the gauze into 
the cylinder and escaping through its 
open ends and lower side, while the lint 
is all arrested, upon the gauze cylinder. 
§ j. As this cotton covered surface 
of the cylinder emerges at the upper 
side the lint is immediately removed 
from the gauze and passed into a con¬ 
densing chamber by means of the lapping and impinging rollers, there placed, and without 
any loss or injury of the lint. This is probably the most simple as well as the most efficient 
and desirable arrangement for the purpose ever invented. 
§ k. Every planter who has not, as well as those who have buildings suited for ginning 
cotton, will readily appreciate the value of the Cotton Cleaner and Condenser, but especially 
will those appreciated it, who, for want of facilities of their own, have transported their 
seed cotton long distances for ginning and paid in toll or otherwise from one-fourth to one- 
third the quantity or value for ginning the balance. 
These are adapted to any gin but especially those, manufactured by the proprietors,
