Abstract

A spindle brake for a spinning or twisting machine has a pair of arms whose jaws are engageable with the whorl of a spinning or twisting spindle. One of these arms carries a belt-lifting roller adapted to lift the belt away from the whorl when the brake is actuated thereby preventing friction between the belt and the immobilized whorl.
