Description: |
| Abstract:
The general object of our invention is to produce a machine for this purpose that will pick and extract the cotton from all the open bolls on the cotton plants, from the ground to the top of the plants, as the machine passes once over a row of plants, and that will accomplish this with the least amount possible of foreign matter, or "leaf trash" being deposited with the cotton. A further object is to produce a machine of this general accomplishment that will be rapid and efficient in operation, durable; and simple of construction, and inexpensive to manufacture.
Claim:
In a cotton picking machine, the comp bination, with a longitudinally movable frame member, of a transversely movable carrier mounted therein, a series of picking spindles mounted in said carrier, an independent transversely movable carrier provided with a series of stripper heads engaged by said spindles, and means for moving said frame member and said carriers. |
