BRAKING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for braking a thread (6) between a magazine (5) e.g. a thread bobbin, and a position of use (3) e.g. a warper, a signal emitter (18) being provided for generating an electric signal corresponding to the movement of the thread (6) and a thread brake (10) being disposed in the path of movement of the thread (6), the thread brake being provided with an electrically actuable driving unit (21), an energy-storing component (C19) with capacity for switching the thread brake (10) between a braking position and a disengaged position.
