1. A spinning position of an air-spinning machine comprising:
an air spinning nozzle having a yarn forming element disposed within a vortex chamber for producing a yarn from a fibre band supplied to the air spinning nozzle, in which case
the air spinning nozzle can be transferred from a closed state for yarn formation to an open state in which the yarn forming element can be cleaned,
a cleaning nozzle for cleaning the yarn forming element in the opened state of the air spinning nozzle, in which case
the cleaning nozzle is movable relative to the yarn forming element by a swivelling device at least between a rest position and a cleaning position for cleaning the yarn forming element and is designed to be positionable and/or alignable by the swivelling device in such a way that at least in the opened state of the air spinning nozzle, the yarn forming element in the cleaning position of the cleaning nozzle can have a cleaning medium applied to it frontally and/or laterally over at least over part of its surface.
