Yarn tightening element for a textile machine

A device for tensioning and drawing back warp yarns brought from a creel to a weaving machine. The tensioning and drawing back device keeps tension and if necessary draws back warp yarns (,) led from a bobbin (,) to a weaving machine. A supporting body (,) has a curved friction surface to support the warp yarn (,) between the bobbin (,) and the weaving machine. A first (,) and a second tensioning element (,) exert a tensile force on the warp yarn (,), respectively, in front of and behind the curved friction surface (,). The tensioning elements (,), (,) can be suspended from the warp yarn (,) and for example only through their own weight may exert this tensile force. This device easily draws back the warp yarn (,) out of the weaving area. The replacement of a bobbin (,) occurs without interruption or disturbance of the weaving process.

Bobbin pallets for a weaving device

A thread-tensioning and pull-back device for use with a weaving machine for controlling the tension of a series of warp threads pulled off from removable and replaceable bobbins arranged in rows in a weaving rack of a weaving machine is adapted to be located in front of the weaving rack of the weaving machine. The device includes a series of thread guide plates each having a feed-through eye whereby each guide plate tensions the thread through each guide plates own weight. The guide plates could also be leaf springs which tension the threads by bending stress.
