THREAD FEEDING DEVICE AND CABLE FOR THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a thread feeding device (1) which comprise a clamp (3) for fixing to a machinery ring (4). Contact pins arranged on the clamp (3) serve for insertion in a flat cable (17) that is retained on the machinery ring (4). In order to orient the flat cable (17) before and during insertion in the correction position, a guide element (37) is movably mounted on or next to the clamp. In the vertical orientation, said element is preferably held by a spring arm (47). The flat cable (17), on its flanks, is preferably provided with grooves that may likewise serve to orient the flat cable (17) before and during insertion in the correction position. The tips of the contact pins slide into the grooves, thereby orienting the flat cable (17 or 54).
