Abstract
A cleaning apparatus for use in conjunction with textile blowers of the type having a blower mounted to a rotating arm includes a pneumatic coupling to pass compressed air from a stationary source to a nozzle assembly mounted to the rotating arm. The coupling may include a valve which operates periodically during the arm rotation to pass the compressed air on an intermittent basis. The nozzle assembly may preferably include a plurality of nozzles arrayed in a common plane to form a curtain of air which impinges on the blower to remove accumulated lint and other debris therefrom.
