A cotton gin separates cotton fibres from their seeds, and the process is known as ginning.
Cotton plants bloom when they mature, just as other plants and flowers do, usually in early fall. The bloom on the cotton plant looks pretty much like the cotton balls you buy for applying cosmetics, antiseptics, etc. But at the time the cotton is harvested, the cotton has seeds in it, which have to be removed. This is done at a cotton gin, a process commonly known as "cotton ginning". The cotton is then spun into a fine thread, then woven into fabric, much like other types of fabrics (silk, wool, etc.). The cotton seeds that are removed from the cotton blooms are also used. They are processed into oil, which has a number of uses.
First, the cotton balls were put into the top of the machine. Next, you turn the handle, which turns the cotton through the wire teeth that combs out the seeds. Then the cotton is pulled out of the wire teeth and out of the cotton gin.

It quickly and efficiently removed the seeds from cotton.
He invented the cotton gin, (which has nothing to do with the alcoholic drink 'gin', by the way), which removed seeds from cotton plants very fast. Before the cotton gin was invented, seeds had to be removed from cotton by hand, a very slow process. The cotton gin made cotton a valuable product to grow and sell.
