Abstract:
A device and a corresponding method produce a knitted fabric with a knitting machine and a roving drawing and strengthening unit. The device has a roving supply unit with a roving, a stretching unit linked to the roving supply unit, and a spinning nozzle device provided downstream from the stretching unit in a roving conveying direction of the device forming a fiber strengthening segment by applying compressed air. An end thread gripping roller pair rotatable in opposite directions is provided downstream from the spinning nozzle device in the roving conveying direction delimiting the fiber strengthening segment. The device has a blow-off device for blowing off the spinning nozzle device and/or the stretching unit and a suction device for suctioning off loose fibers from the spinning nozzle device and/or the stretching unit. The suction device and the blow-off device are interconnected in a blow-off and suction system.

Claim (Index 17):
The device according to  claim 13 ,\n further comprising an auxiliary thread supply through which at least one auxiliary thread can be supplied to said stretching unit; and wherein said at least one air channel at least partially also runs along over said auxiliary thread supply and contains said at least one channel opening, which is aligned on or along said auxiliary thread supply.
