Abstract
The waste fiber removing device of the present invention is provided with at least one air jet nozzle and a fluttering motion is imparted to the free outer end of the air jet nozzle so that the air is directed over a relatively wide area of the knitting machine. The air jet nozzle is either stationary or may be rotated to prevent the accumulation of lint on various adjacent parts of the knitting machine. The fluttering motion of the air jet nozzle is preferably accomplished by forming the area adjacent the free end of an elastic or other type of flexible material. Various types of adjusting devices are provided for limiting the fluttering motion of the air jet nozzle so as to vary the area of the knitting machine against which the air is directed to blow away lint and the like.
