Abstract

A plate-type thread brake includes two brake elements pressed resiliently against each other by a load device and receiving the thread passing through between them. These brake elements are eccentrically suspended on bearings on the inside wall of a central opening which only fill out a small part of the opening. Thread guides are also arranged in the region of this central opening.
