Abstract

See full text

A textile machine for processing yarn including a yarn tensioning device comprising a generally C-shaped frame having a generally vertical leg carrying generally parallel and horizontal arms in spaced positions along one side thereof each having a yarn guide. A pair of tensioning disks are rotably carried by the leg intermediate of the eyes. The disks are continuously urged into mutual contact. A mounting block is carried by the textile machine. A pair of connectors carried by the mounting block and frame are adapted to removably secure the frame with the mounting block. Yarn drawn through the tensioning device is maintained under proper tension as it passes through the disk while the disks are carried to rotate by movement of the yarn into the textile machine, which rotation frees the disks of lint thus maintaining uniform tension on the yarn.
