Abstract: An extractor cleaner for harvested cotton uses a plurality of sequential rotating saw cylinders a plurality variably and re-positionable deflector panels mounted for displacement about horizontal axes spaced from said plural rotating saw cylinders to deflect cotton and debris expelled by said plural rotating saw cylinders along separate conduits wherein said plurality of variably re-positionable deflector panels may be selectively positioned to deflect debris along one of said conduits to a discharge opening and to deflect cotton mingled with debris along said one of said conduits to a reclaim rotating saw cylinder.

Abstract: A ginning rib for use in a saw type cotton gin stand constructed from a plate or sheet of raw material, with the material thickness defining the width of the rib, and the shape or profile of the rib defined by the path of the cutting means of the plate or sheet. Furthermore, the shape of the rib being such that it can be economically produced with current cutting technology while concurrently of a unique design to reduce raw material waste, and to include features improving functional reliability and serviceability.
