ABSTRACT:
Cotton on a rick is placed upon a slab adjacent to the gin. A feeder unit having a plurality of drums advances against the rick to move the cotton from the rick onto conveyors to feed the cotton gin. The feeder unit is reversible, so that as soon as a rick is finished in the first direction, it may be reversed to feed against a rick in another direction. The height of the unit is adjustable. Doors close behind the last of the rick to prevent the cotton from scattering, and extending panels on the door contain the cotton along the slab.
