Abstract
A spindle brake for a spinning or twisting machine has a pair of arms whose jaws are engageable with the whorl of a spinning or twisting spindle. One of these arms carries a belt-lifting roller adapted to lift the belt away from the whorl when the brake is actuated thereby preventing friction between the belt and the immobilized whorl.

- a pair of brake jaws juxtaposed with one another across said whorl;
- respective arms carrying said jaws, said arms being connected at one end by a common pivot so that said arms are swingable toward and away from each other about said pivot;
- means for actuating said brake to swing said arms toward each other and engage said jaws with said whorl;
- a belt-lifting roller at the other end of one of said arms engageable with said belt upon actuation of the brake to lift said belt from said whorl;
- and
- a spreading spring biasing said arms away from one another, said pivot and said arms being mounted upon a support plate removably attachable to said machine.
