Abstract
A brake arrangement is intended for or can be assigned. to a number of threads or yarns which can be fed in or to a textile machine, for example a weaving machine. The brake arrangement comprises two units (1,2) which have thread or yarn parts (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) lying between them and which are pressed towards each other by actuating members (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, 8, 9, 10, respectively), which units (1, 2) cooperate with the thread or yarn parts via two opposite surfaces (1a and 2a, respectively) which are made of smooth material and are set substantially parallel by the cooperation with the thread or yarn parts. The actuating member is arranged to exert, via the unit, press forces (F) on the thread or yarn parts which are substantially identical, on the one hand, on the different thread or yarn parts and, on the other hand, along at least part of the length of the respective thread or yarn part.
