ABSTRACT:
A circular knitting machine sinker duct improvement apparatus to prevent lint accumulation. The apparatus comprises a multitude of flat, long, inter-alternated cleaning holes along the sinker ducts of the circular knitting machine. The front and two sides of the sinker plates include indented concave arches to form sharp edges, and one side of the sinker is adjacent to a high pressure air nozzle. The apparatus permits two actions by which accumulated lint is dispensed from the knitting machine, and avoids shutting down the knitting machine to clean lint. Additionally, when the knitting machine is stopped, the lint may be cleaned through cleaning holes without requiring disassembly of the knitting machine.
