Abstract
A self-adjusting braking device for weft feeders, comprising a frustum-shaped braking body that acts on a thread, is suspended elastically in front of the drum of the feeder and is pushed into elastic tangent contact with the drum along an exit circumference of the drum. The braking body has, at a larger-diameter region thereof designed to make contact with the drum, a discontinuous annular contact element, with a plurality of through slits which are arranged so as to be equidistant and delimit a row of contact laminas.
