Abstract
A carding machine cleaning apparatus is illustrated wherein an elongated plenum, open at both ends, is positionable between a closure member on one side of a carding machine and a suction housing having an opening therein on the other side in such a manner that the suction is automatically disconnected by moving the plenum out of alignment with the closure and suction housing opening and re-established by returning the plenum to position between the closure and the suction housing. The cleaning apparatus is especially useful when aligned above a number of transverse carding rolls of a carding apparatus so that each respective housing is removable for inspection of a portion of the carding apparatus.
