Abstract
The thread catching structure is mounted on a chuck and includes a winding-on surface from which a thread winding may extend into a shaped recess under an overlying projection. The thread catching structure also has a clamping element which presses outwardly under centrifugal force against an underside of the projection to clamp the thread therebetween. Upon a subsequent severing of the thread, the resulting thread tail extending to the break location remains firmly clamped.
