Claims5
A yarn tension transducer for measuring threadline tension in running lengths of yarn comprising:
- a frame;
- a U-shaped member having first and second legs separated by a base member, said base member having a reduced flexure section located between the two legs;
- a hollow tube over which yarn passes connected to said first leg of said U-shaped member the other leg of said member being connected to said frame;
- an elongated rod having one end mounted within said hollow tube, a strain transducer connected between said other leg of said U-shaped member and the other end of said elongated rod responsive to relative movement between said other leg and said rod.
