Abstract

In the case of a thread braking device (B), which is intended to be used especially on the supply side of a thread feeder (F) and which comprises a thread brake (3) having a fixed passage axis (f) and having arranged thereon a shield surface (A) provided with a thread opening (22) and arranged transversely to the direction (R) in which the thread (Y) is supplied, there are provided direction adjustment means (M) for the shield surface (A), with the aid of which the transverse position of said shield surface (A) can be adjusted to supply directions (R1, R2) of the thread (Y) deviating from the passage axis (f). Even in the case of a shield surface (A) for general thread-guiding tasks, which is arranged in a stationary holding means and oriented transversely to the supply direction (R) of the thread (Y), such position adjustment means are provided so that the transverse position of the shield surface (A) can be adjusted to the respective supply direction (R1, R2) of the thread (Y).
