Abstract
The supply portion to a thread supply drum is pivotally located on the holder for the drum, to pivot about an axis transverse to the axis of rotation of the drum; this supply portion carries a thread brake 24, an inlet eye 27, and a further inlet guide element 26. Preferably, the supply portion is removably located on the holder 1, for example by means of a plug-and-socket connection, a slide-in dovetail joint, or the like. Pivotal connection permits compensation for short-time tension peaks arising, for example, upon yarn drag, and combination with a stop-motion switch.
