Abstract

A woof yarn tension device for weaving machines, has a controllable tension device which acts upon the woof yarn and which, at least on the output side, has a yarn guide eye. In order to reduce the stressing of the woof yarn, the number of the deflection points for the woof yarn existing on the feeding side are reduced in that the yarn guide eye of the woof yarn tension device is simultaneously constructed as a woof yarn monitor.
