Gin Stand Safety Assembly

Abstract

A gin stand safety assembly comprises an outer shell, a throat, a motor, an amperage draw sensor and a rotating ginning equipment. The rotating ginning equipment comprises at least a picker roller. The amperage draw sensor monitors a power usage of the motor. The gin stand safety assembly is configured to adjust an RPM of the motor according to an amperage draw signal generated by the amperage draw sensor. The throat is configured for holding said fibrous material such as cotton during the ginning process. The gin stand safety assembly is configured for receiving said fibrous material in a portion of the throat, channeling said fiberous material downward through the throat into the rotating ginning equipment, rotating the motor, monitoring the amperage draw signal from the amperage draw sensor, and adjusting the RPM of the motor.
