A cleaning system for textile machines is comprised of two essentially identical travelling cleaners which can travel separately from one another along a line of textile machines, each of which has a boat-shaped suction nozzle which engages with a stationary suction duct and which is sealed by two sealing lips abutting against the suction nozzle. The suction duct is attached to the suction side of at least one blower, the two essentially identical travelling cleaners engaging their suction nozzles in the suction duct. The suction duct has at least two connections at a distance from one another with which it is attached to the suction side of the at least one blower.

Cleaning system for textile machines

A device for cleaning rows of machines, such as textile machines, which can travel along the machines and has a blower guided above the machines, whose pressure side is connected to a distributor station. At least two hoses are attached via connecting pieces to the distributor station which have different openings directed to the machines. A slider is located on the distributor station which distributes the air supplied to the distributor station in accordance with its position on the connecting pieces. A number of hoses can be attached to the device, and the hose to be charged with air can be easily selected by a slider which can travel along the row of connecting pieces. The slider has a through-hole which, when the slider is moved, successively coincides with the connecting pieces. A flexible hose which leads to the pressure side of the blower and surrounds the through-hole, is attached to the side of the slider facing away from the connecting pieces. In another embodiments, the connecting pieces are arranged in a straight or in a curved row. In another embodiment, the flexible hose is fastened, with its side facing the pressure side of the blower, to a further slider whereby by operating the slider, the flexible hose can be connected with the suction side of the blower.

Device for cleaning rows of machines

A circular knitting machine creel for a plurality of bobbins which are supported in tiers by a circular cylindrical frame, comprising a carrier located inside the frame, at least one blower supported by the frame, having an air outlet connection directed somewhat radially outward, the blower moving on a circular path whose axis coincides essentially with the axis of the frame.
