ABSTRACT:
An apparatus adapted to be used in conjunction with a conventional cotton harvester for gleaning cotton missed by the harvester consists of a pair of independently suspended, parallel, opposed intake manifolds. Each manifold comprises a floor member having frontward and rearward end wall members fixed at opposite ends of the floor member. An outside wall is fixed to an outside edge of the floor member and extends from the frontward end wall to the rearward end wall. An inside wall having a height significantly less than the outside wall is fixed to the floor member parallel to, but some distance from, the running edge of the floor member. A downfall sheet is fixed to a top edge of the outside wall and to the inside wall so as to be spaced from and inclined with respect to the floor member. The inside wall contains a plurality of apertures leading to forwardly- and upwardly-inclined ducts leading to the flue comprising the inside of the manifold. Appropriate conduits, blowers, etc. can be connected to each intake manifold via an opening in the rearward end wall of the manifold. Cotton collected by the intake manifolds is pneumatically and mechanically transferred to a header portion of the cotton harvester for further treatment in a conventional manner.
