Thread-braking device for a textile machine

摘要

A thread-braking arrangment for a textile machine comprises an outer housing, in which a magnetic member is provided, supported by a supporting element. A ball seat-forming element of non-magnetizable material is mounted on the supporting element. A ball of a magnetizable material is arranged against the ball seat of that element. A magnetic force generated by the magnetic member draws the ball towards the ball-seat. A thread is passed between the ball and the ball seat. The magnetic member, the supporting element and the ball seat-forming element are enclosed in a casing and form a brake unit releasably insertable into the outer housing by means of a spring ring.
