Abstract
The thread clamp has cooperating clamping sections with elevations (2) and depressions (3) which extend transverse to the laying-in direction of the thread (4) to be held firmly by the thread clamp. When the clamp is closed, a free space (5) is in each case provided between the elevations (2) and depressions (3) for the reception of a thread (4), and the elevations (2) have an edge (8) for holding back the thread. Through the provision of a free space the thread is exposed to a kinking action and through the edge to a notching action, the cooperation of which ensures a secure holding for the thread.
