Abstract

A pinch ring for the thread balloon of a spinning machine or twisting machine is substantially a single wire loop forming a spiral or helix. The ring may have overlapping end portions. The degree of overlap and the shape of the overlapping end portions as well as the pitch and the axial clearance between opposite points in the overlapping portions are all critical to the performance of the ring. The pinch ring defined by the invention permits substantially higher production rates without decreasing the rupture strength of the thread and provides a thread with substantially higher strength at standard production speeds.
