Abstract
Novel device for detecting knot-like thick places in travelling textile threads, comprising a plate-shaped or rectangular vibratory member which is fixed at one end and has a straight edge at its other end. A plate-shaped piezoelectrical transducer element is fixed at one of the major surfaces of said vibratory member. A thread guiding member having a straight edge is arranged in essentially parallel relationship to the straight edge of the vibratory member such as to form a thread passage gap between said straight edges. Means adjust the width of said thread passage gap, and a case or support structure is provided for receiving the vibratory member, electromechanical transducer element and thread guiding member.
