Abstract
A thread brake with two disc shaped or plate shaped brake elements resiliently pressed against each other operates with an associated oscillation generating device to set the brake elements in oscillatory motions which are preferably oriented transversely to the bearing axis of the brake elements.
Claims27
A thread brake having two essentially disc-shaped or plate-shaped brake elements (9, 9a);
- loading means (26, 65) for resiliently pressing the brake elements (9) against each other and to permit at least one thread (10) passed between said brake elements to be braked;
- bearing means (19, 23, 25;
- 190) for mounting said brake elements on a common bearing axis;
- oscillatory motion generating means (30) coupled to said brake elements (9) and oscillating said brake elements in a direction which is oriented substantially transversely to said bearing axis (29) for imparting oscillatory motions essentially transversely to said bearing axis (29) to said brake elements.
