Abstract

A friction disc for an apparatus for the false twisting of threads such as, for example, for crimping synthetic threads, has a thread engaging surface with a high co-efficient of friction and a convexly curved asymmetrical profile which is divided into three portions, each portion forming an arc of a circle having a different radius of curvature, the portion at the thread entry face extending over an arcuate length of about 90.degree. up to the apex of the profile and having a radius of curvature equal to between 0.4S and 0.5S, while the intermediate portion of the profile has a radius of curvature substantially equal to S and the portion of the profile at the thread exit face has a radius of curvature equal to between 0.075S and 0.1S, S being the thickness of the disc.
