Abstract
A yarn feeder including a stationary storage body and a yarn brake having a brake element which axially contacts the storage body. The brake element is embodied by a truncated cone-shaped, thin-walled braking band which is held externally in an elastic, circular retaining membrane joined to a carrier ring that is concentric to the brake band. At least outside the retaining area for the brake band, several areas having a reduced wall thickness are provided in the retaining membrane.
