SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,868, dated July 10, 1883.

Application filed September 26, 1882. (No medelJ The operation of my invention will be read 45 ily understood, The lint passes from the gin through the iiue A, and between the condens ing-cylinders, by which it is formed into a bat. The blast from the gin serves to blow all dust from the lint through the wire-cloth ofthe o cylinders and out through the openings K in the endsy of the latter. The upper cylinder will move vertically in its bearings, as described, and thus adjust itself to any quantity of lint that may pass from the gin.

I am aware that the upper one of a pair of condensing-rollers has heretofore been made vertically movable in its bearings. I am also aware'that a condensing-cylinder covered with wirecloth and having open ends has been 6o used, arranged within a suitable casing. This, therefore, I do not claim. I am' not aware, however, that a pair of wirecloth cylinders have been used without any casing at the end ofthe gin-tine. By this arrangement I have 65 accomplished more satisfactory results, since the dust and dirt will be blown out, not only To a/ZZwwm t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANKLIN M. SEWELL, of Dangereld, in the county of Morris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and use- 5 ful Improvements in Cotton-Gondensers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,

ro referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective View oi' the end of a gin-flueembodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view, and

Fig. 3 is a vertical ltransverse sectional view taken through the condensingcylinders.

Corresponding part-s in the several figures are denoted by like letters of reference.

l This invention relates to condensers for cot-V toirgiiis; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A represents the end of the gin-nue, to the sides of which are-secured brackets B B for the shafts of the condensingcylinders C D, which are fitted nicely in concave recesses R in the end of the gin-fine, or the sides thereof. i

The shaft E of the lower cylinder, C, is mounted permanently in its bearings. shaft F of the upper cylinder, D, is capable of moving vertically in slots G, prepared for its reception, in the brackets B.

The condensingicylinders .consist each of a pair of yheads or ends H, mounted upon their respective shafts, and connected by longitudinal slats I, over which a covering, J, of wirecloth is stretched, the slats I serving to sup- The herein shown and specified.

at the ends, but directly through both of the cylinders.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters .Pat- 7o ent of the United States- The combination of the gin-flue A, having recesses B, the U-shaped brackets B, having slots G in their upper arms, and the wirecloth condensing-cylinders C D, the shaft E Aof the former being mounted permanently in the lower arms ofthe brackets B, and the shaft F of cylinder D being mounted loosely, so as f to be vertically movable in the slots G, as

4o port said wire-cloth covering and to prevent Y I the cylinders from collapsing The heads or FRANKLIN MILNER SEVELL ends H of both cylinders have openings K. Witnesses:

Motion is imparted in any suitable manner to R. W. TITTLE,

the shaft E of the lower cylinder.
