Abstract
A dust removal and collection system which includes a suction fan for creating upwardly and inwardly flowing air streams through a knitting section and a yarn feeding and guiding device for removing dust and other fiber waste from the components thereof. An airstream receiving and confining hood overlies the knitting section and defines therethrough an air passageway. An entrance end of the air passageway is disposed radially outwardly of and above the knitting section so that the upwardly flowing air stream flows outwardly of the knitting section to carry dust and other fiber waste entrained therein upwardly and outwardly from the knitting components such that no dust or other fiber waste will return to the knitting components. A waste collection device cooperates with the hood to receive and collect the dust and other fiber waste removed from the double knitting machine.
