Title: Method and apparatus for removing waste settling under carding machine or the like

Abstract: Waste from a textile machine is removed by providing an air channel having top, side and bottom walls. In the area where the waste settles, the top wall of the air channel is formed by one or more shutters movable between closed and opened positions. When the shutters are opened, waste which has accumulated thereon when closed or which comes directly from the machine, falls into the air channel. The shutters are then closed and an air current is produced in the air channel by suitable means to convey the waste away.
