ABSTRACT:
A means for adjusting the clearance between the grid plate assembly and the drum of an extractor of the type which separates trash from cotton lint as it passes through this clearance. The present means is easily and quickly installed on commercially-available extractors or new extractors and is fully operable from outside the housing of the extractor. The adjusting means comprises a pair of supports or brackets which are positioned on the outside of a side wall of the extractor housing. One of the brackets is fixed to the wall while the other bracket is connected to the grid plate assembly by a bolt that passes through an elongated slot in the wall. The two brackets are connected together by an adjustable member (e.g. all-thread bolt) having jam nuts thereon which, in turn, can be moved along the adjustable member to thereby allow the other bracket and, hence, the grid plate assembly to move either toward or away from the drum to change the clearance therebetween. Once the grid plate assembly is properly positioned, the threaded member and the jam nuts are tightened to lock the grid plate assembly in position. Indicia is provided on the outside of the side wall to indicate the actual clearance inside the extractor.
