Abstract

See full text

A traveling cleaner system with means for effecting a temporary alteration in the rate of travel of the traveling cleaner unit which is characterized by its ability to provide additional amounts of cleaning to preselected portions of the textile mill. The invention is comprised of a traveling cleaner unit that is movable along an overhead track that extends above textile machinery or that is mounted to a crane bridge that travels reciprocally along rails extending parallel to rows of textile machinery. The traveling cleaner unit includes blowers for direction a reciprocating cleaning current of air onto the underlying machinery. In one enbodiment a variable speed drive motor propels the cleaner unit along the overhead track and in the second embodiment, a variable speed drive motor propels the crane bridge along the rails. In addition to the traveling cleaner unit, the traveling cleaner system includes actuators, a switch that is mounted on the traveling cleaner unit and is engaged by the actuators and control means consisting primarily of a timer and speed varying means. The traveling cleaner unit alters its rate of travel when it passes preselected portions of the textile mill with the result that the textile mill is more thoroughly cleaned.
