A tension monitoring device

摘要

A yarn tension monitoring device comprises means 24 for deflecting a yarn out of a rectilinear path, the deflecting means being supported by, or being acted upon, by spring means so that tension forces in the yarn move the deflecting means against the urging force of the spring means, and means 28 for detecting the tension in the yarn in response to movement of the deflecting means and/or the force applied by the spring means. <IMAGE>
