Abstract
A cleaning apparatus used in a spinning machine wherein a row of grabs having seats can be engaged over tubes in respective spinning stations to remove the tubes from and insert the tubes into the respective stations has at least one nozzle directable into the seats of the grabs and a system for supplying air under pressure to the nozzle and thereby forming at the nozzle a jet that blows lint and the like from the seat into which the nozzle is directed.
Claims9
In a spinning machine wherein a row of grabs having seat cavities are adapted to engage over tubes in respective spinning stations to remove the tubes from and insert the tubes into the respective stations, a cleaning apparatus comprising:
- at least one nozzle directed into the seat cavities of the grabs;
- and
- means for supplying air under pressure to the nozzle and thereby forming at the nozzle a jet that is directed into and that blows lint from the seat cavity into which the nozzle is directed.
In a spinning machine wherein a row of grabs having seat cavities are adapted to engage over tubes in respective spinning stations to remove the tubes from and insert the tubes into the respective stations, the improvement wherein:
- the seat cavities of the grabs are downwardly open and the grabs are formed with respective passages each having a downstream end open downward into the respective cavity and an upstream end;
- at least one nozzle is directed into the upstream passage ends;
- and
- means is provided for supplying air under pressure to the nozzle and thereby forming at the nozzle a jet that is directed into and that blows lint from the seat cavity into which the nozzle is directed.
