Title: Selective down cotton retrieving belt

Abstract: A transversely slotted belt for a down cotton retrieving system includes a plurality of spaced, protruding island-like pads disposed along the outer surface of the belt. Each of the protruding pads is substantially bisected by one of the transverse slots, thereby forming separated pairs of opposed flexible fingers. The size, spacing, flexibility, and shape of the pairs of fingers are selected to produce a pinching action which optimizes the grasping efficiency and grasping selectivity of the bisected island-like pads during retrieving of down cotton.
