Abstract
A two-for-one twisting machine is provided and includes a spindle having a yarn brake. The yarn brake includes a brake housing, a brake cartridge having opposed ends, first and second brake rings disposed within the brake housing, and a support element. The yarn brake also includes a guide conduit extending generally co-axially within the brake housing supporting the support element at a selectively variable axial location within the brake housing and a yarn intake tube extending within the guide conduit. A spring extends between the support element and the second brake ring for resiliently biasing the second brake ring and the brake cartridge is releasably compressively engaged by the first brake ring pressing against one end of the brake cartridge and the second brake ring pressing against the opposite end thereof.
