ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing lint and debris from circular knitting machines has a rotating arm positioned such that its distal end sweeps about the periphery of the machine. A fan motor unit located at the distal end is mounted for 360 degree rotation in a plane perpendicular to the plane of arm rotation, allowing the sweep of air to contact both the machine surface as well as adjacent areas. The fan/motor unit is preferably rotated by an arm mounted rotation motor, coupled to the unit by a commutator. The rotational rates of the central drive and the rotation drive are chosen to allow the path about the machine circumference described by the fan/motor unit to vary upon successive arm revolutions to insure a fan sweep over all machine surfaces.
