ABSTRACT:
A dust control and cooling apparatus for use in connection with a circular knitting machine includes a flexible manifold which sits upon the knitting machine table and encircles the needle cylinder. A series of nozzles directs pressurized air applied to the manifold towards the needle cylinder to remove lint and dust from the operating surface and cool the components. The manifold assumes a generally flat configuration when not operating, allowing access to the enclosed area without removal of the manifold. When operating the manifold inflates and expands upwardly towards the overlying sinker ring, sealing the enclosed volume and allowing a positive pressure to be generated therein. This positive pressure helps prevent the further ingress of lint and dust into the enclosed volume.
