Abstract
A fan blower apparatus for use in connection with circular knitting machines includes a relatively small diameter frame to which a drive motor is mounted. The drive motor rotates an L-shaped platform about a vertical axis. The platform supports a fan unit journaled for rotation about a vertical axis. A belt system utilizes the rotation of the platform about the vertical axis to provide a drive motor to rotate the fan unit about the horizontal axis. An integral air spray system may be incorporated into the frame to provide a cleansing air spray for the fan unit as it operates.
