Abstract

The second brake disk is moved by pneumatic fluid, opposed by either gravity or a spring force.

In a warp mill for warping a plural number of threads, a clamping brake for each of the threads, comprising:
- (a) a first brake disk:
- (b) a second brake disk mounted on a spindle;
- (c) a thread guide slot positioned in said spindle between said first and second brake discs, whereby a thread will be braked when said first and second brake discs are in proximity to one another, and
- (d) means for selectively moving said second brake disk relative to said first brake disk between a first position where said first and second brake discs are in proximity to one another and a second position where said first and second brake discs are not in proximity to one another, wherein said means for moving include means in fluid communication with all of said clamping brakes for applying a force of a pressurized gas to said second brake disc.
