Patent Number: 5697126
Docket Number: 1594
Serial Number: 8608450

Abstract:
The invention is an apparatus for removing build up of wet sticky fibers and trash
material on the grid bar of a lint cleaner in a cotton gin. Currently, lint cleaners must be turned off
and a wooden stick is used to clean the grid bars. This is a dangerous and labor-intensive process.
The invention uses a sliding scrapper mounted on the grid bar of a lint cleaner for continuous
cleaning. The invention is more efficient and eliminates worker exposure to high-speed saw
cylinders.
