Abstract
A debris removing apparatus for a textile winding machine is provided and includes an air stream channeling device, an air drive device, and a structure forming an opposite opening. The air stream channeling device includes an intake opening and a pair of wall members each having a generally planar portion extending substantially parallel to a lateral plane on which a linear travel path of a yarn lies as the yarn travels between a supply package to another yarn package at a winding station of the textile machine. The generally planar portions channel air drawn in through the intake opening by the air drive device into an air stream which travels parallel to the lateral plane toward the traveling yarn. The air stream flows around the yarn and entrains debris on and around the yarn for transport away from the yarn. The air drive device, in one aspect of the invention, includes a suction housing through which suction is applied.
