Linter gin having improved moting system

In linter gin comprising a machine frame having a pair of opposite ends, a rotatable saw cylinder journaled in said opposite ends, means for directing cottonseed downwardly to said saw cylinder, a set of gin ribs through which saw elements of the saw cylinder project to remove the lint from the seed as the lint on the seed is caught by the saw teeth and carried forward to the gin ribs, a revolving doffer brush rotatably support at opposite ends at said ends of the machine frame having a transfer position of coaction between the saw and brush spaced a short distance below the gin ribs, a moting chamber under and extending downwardly from a lower portion of the doffer brush for receiving air current from the region of said position of coaction between the saw cylinder and doffing brush to receive lint, motes and trash suspended in the air stream formed therein by the brush cylinder;

• the improvement comprising primary air current disruptor means spaced close to but non-contacting in relation to the doffer brush in the form of a mote deflector obstacle member having its upper surface set in close proximity to the bottom of the revolving doffing brush spaced slightly from the brush and allowing only running clearance between the brush and the obstacle member, the obstacle member extending longitudinally parallel to the brush and supported at each end of said machine frame to deflect the air current created by the brush following the lower circumferencial path of the brush periphery as well as the lint, motes and trash being transported in the air stream formed in the mote chamber to change the direction of said air current by defecting it downwardly and around the obstacle member and effect more efficient removable of motes and trash from the lint in the mote chamber through a discharged duct extending from an entrance immediately below the doffing brush in a substantially opposite direction from said obstacle member relative to the saw cylinder.
