Abstract
A cotton basket unloading regulator is provided for transporting cotton from a conventional cotton basket into a trailer or the like. The regulator comprises a rotatable shaft having a plurality of fingers mounted thereon with a motor for rotating the shaft at variable speed. By varying the speed of rotation of the rotating shaft, the cotton being delivered from the cotton basket to the trailer may be regulated and the rotation of the shaft also serves to break up chunks and wads of cotton as well as stopping the discharge of the cotton from the basket. The present invention provides a regulator for regulating the unloading of cotton from a cotton basket into a trailer.
