Abstract

In the dust extraction appliance for flat knitting machines, a vacuum is generated in the suction nozzles (17) by means of at least one suction-flow device (16) which is arranged on the slide of the flat knitting machine and into with a conveyed, via a flexible delivery line (20), compressed air which carries the sucked-up dust further into a dust collecting bag (18) via an exhaust-air duct (22).
