Abstract

A movable brake shoe (32) is mounted in a yarn brake (23). The yarn brake (33) includes two brake shoes (31, 32) arranged to brake a yarn (3) running between them. Actuating devices (33, 34) allow mutual compression of the brake shoes (31, 32). The movable brake shoe (32) is lamellar and tiltable about a tilt axis (49) which is located at a distance from and substantially parallel to the path of the yarn (3) to be braked.
