Abstract
The thread clamp has cooperating clamping sections with elevations (2) and depressions (3) which extend transverse to the laying-in direction of the thread (4) to be held firmly by the thread clamp. When the clamp is closed, a free space (5) is in each case provided between the elevations (2) and depressions (3) for the reception of a thread (4), and the elevations (2) have an edge (8) for holding back the thread. Through the provision of a free space the thread is exposed to a kinking action and through the edge to a notching action, the cooperation of which ensures a secure holding for the thread.

Thread clamp for a weaving machine, said thread clamp having cooperating clamping sections for opening or closing with elevations and depressions which extend transverse to the laying-in direction of a thread to be held firmly by the thread clamp, characterized in that when the clamp is closed, a free space is in each case provided between the elevations and depressions for the reception of a thread;
- and in that the elevations have an edge for holding back the thread.
A weaving machine comprising a thread clamp for releasably grasping a thread being used by the weaving machine, the thread clamp including cooperating and selectively openable and closable clamping sections defining opposing elevations and depressions which are oriented transversely to a laying-in direction of the thread, the elevations and depressions defining a free space for receiving the thread when the clamping sections are opened, the elevations further defining edges for holding the thread when the clamping sections are closed.
