Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for interrupting the rotary movement of a drive roller for feeding a textile web and comprises a pivoted lever having a frame at one end with an opening through which passes the web driven by the roller. Positioned beneath the opening in the frame is a ring nozzle supplied with liquid under pressure to advance the web passing through the opening in the frame through a guide tube associated with the nozzle. A magnetic switch is provided in circuit with the drive means for the roller to effect stoppage of the rotation of the roller when the switch is actuated, a linkage being connected between the lever and the switch to actuate the latter when the lever is pivoted.
