A drive is provided for driving the braking action which comprise at least a first and a second thrust device provided between the first and second braking shoe at the facing and opposite ends of the braking shoes, with the thrust devices which act on the braking shoes in a direction circumferential to the latter to move them apart one from the other and create a displacement in diverging radial directions of the shoes towards and against the coupling band of the reel-holder flange.

Abstract: A device regulates the tapering of at least one side edge of a package of yarn on a spool in a textile winding apparatus, wherein a reciprocating yarn guide member distributes yarn onto a rotating spool. The device includes a cam having at least a first and a second cam contour, each for driving a respective tapering of the one side edge of the package of yarn and a transmission having an element sliding on the cam for operatively connecting the cam to the yarn guide member. The first and second cam contours are arranged parallel to each other, while the sliding element of the transmission is movable perpendicularly to the first and second contours. Also, there is a device provided for positioning the sliding element of the transmission on a selected contour of the cam contours.
