Abstract: A two-for-one twisting machine is provided and includes 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, a guide conduit and a yarn intake tube extending within the guide conduit. A brake cartridge of the yarn brake has a first tube section, a second tube section, and a third tube section disposed axially intermediate the first tube section and the second tube section. The tube sections are all arranged in resiliently biased telescoping manner within one another such that the second tube section is resiliently biased in one axial direction outwardly from the third tube section and the first tube section is resiliently biased outwardly from the third tube section in an opposite axial direction opposite to the one axial direction.

Abstract: A yarn brake has a tubular brake housing with an upper and a lower end. A lower brake ring is connected to the lower end of the brake housing. A brake ring carrier is positioned in the housing at a distance above the lower brake ring and has a central axis about which it is rotatable. The brake ring carrier is axially slidable within the brake housing. A spring is positioned in the brake housing between the upper end and the brake ring carrier for biasing the brake ring carrier in a downward direction. An upper brake ring is connected to the brake ring carrier so as to face the lower brake ring. A brake cartridge rests between the upper and the lower brake rings. An abutment is connected to the brake housing and extends radially into the brake housing. The brake ring carrier has a plurality of support shoulders distributed over the periphery of the brake ring whereby these support shoulders are axially spaced relative to one another.

Abstract: A device for adjusting capsule thread brakes in twisting machines having inside the twisting spindle a capsule thread brake has a brake ring disposed on a brake ring support which may be moved against a spring force. On the brake ring support a ring piston is arranged, which is guided in a ring cylinder connected to a compressed air supply line. A first toothed segment with downwardly directed teeth is arranged on the periphery of the brake ring support, and a second toothed segment with upwardly directed teeth is located opposite the first toothed segment. A support stop engages the slots formed between the teeth of the toothed segments during displacement of the brake ring support.

Abstract: In a cabling assembly of a thread processing machine, such as a cabling or double twisting machine having a rotor mechanism and thread storage disk rotating therewith and defining a axially-extending and radially-extending thread passageway defining a first deflection point, a pot mechanism around which a balloon of thread rotates during thread processing, an axially-extending thread guide positioned above the pot mechanism for receiving the thread being processed and defining a second deflection point for changing the direction of thread travel from generally radial to axial during thread processing, and adjustable devices for influencing the mode of operation of the spindle assembly and mounted thereon within the rotating thread balloon formed during thread processing; the improvement of a movable mechanical linkage extending from outside the rotating thread balloon to within the rotating thread balloon and to the spindle assembly operation influencing devices and mounted for movement to adjust such devices

Abstract: Cradle for a twisting machine with a reel spindle and friction engaging means to engage a reel mounted upon the spindle. The friction engaging means faces the free end of the spindle and is movable axially away from the free end against a resilient means. A means is provided to urge the reel against the engaging means. In a practical structure, the friction engaging means is annular.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a yarn winding spindle cap having a variable moment of resistance, the spindle cap having diametrically oppositely extending arm portions, each of the ends of which supports a vertically oriented bushing, and the opposite ends of a loop of single strand are fixed in the bushings and position the loop so that it rubs against the periphery of the bobbin with a view to braking the spindle cap as a function of the diameter of said bobbin.

Abstract: A ring spinning or twisting machine has rotating rings which are equipped with metallic flanges. Each ring has an associated permanent magnet device which can be moved to the vicinity of the flange so that the magnetic field interacts with it and generates eddy currents which tend to decelerate the rotating ring. The permanent magnets are mounted on a common sliding rod which is actuated by a servomotor. The displacement is such that each magnet moves substantially parallel to the plane of the flange and may occupy a position where the magnetic field is laterally adjacent to the flange and does not interact with it.

Abstract: A brake for the travelers of a twining ring or a spinning ring machine. Such machines have a series of rings each with an associated traveler and a common brake rod which can be operated to move braking units into the paths of the travelers. The braking units are made in ring form so that, when operated by the brake rod, they occupy substantially the whole of the paths of their associated traveler and can therefore engage the traveler and brake their motion wherever the traveler happen to be when the brake is applied.
