Yarn feed module

A yarn feed module, comprising:

• a drive roller that is (i) arranged so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis, (ii) drivable for supplying yarn, and (iii) configured such that the yarn is provided to detach from the drive roller on a side of the drive roller where the drive roller is arranged so as to be free;
• a guide element which is arranged behind the drive roller viewed in a supply direction, the supply direction being a direction in which yarn is supplied, under a yarn tension, from the yarn feed module into a textile machine, wherein the guide element, during supplying of the yarn, guides the yarn by contact therewith so that the supply direction is adjusted by the guide element,
• wherein the yarn feed module has a restrain element which, viewed in the supply direction, is arranged between the drive roller and the guide element in order, on supplying of the yarn, to ensure that the yarn detaches from the drive roller,
• wherein, viewed in a projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, during supplying of the yarn, the yarn is supplied between the drive roller and the guide element approximately along a common tangent of the drive roller and guide element,
• wherein the restrain element comprises a restrain surface,
• wherein, viewed in the projection plane, a majority of the restrain surface is arranged on the same side of the tangent as the drive roller,
• wherein the yarn feed module comprises a carrier element which is displaceable relative to the drive roller, and comprises a drive-back element for exerting a force on the carrier element in order to drive the carrier element towards the drive roller, and comprises a guide roller which is arranged on the carrier element so as to be freely rotatable around a carrier element rotation axis in order, when the carrier element is driven towards the drive roller by the drive-back element, to clamp the supplied yarn between the drive roller and the guide roller, wherein the restrain element is arranged on the carrier element.
