Abstract:
A friction feed wheel mechanism for feeding in at least one thread, the friction wheel mechanism comprising, in combination, at least one thread guide element, through which or against which the thread rests during operation, or along which the thread runs during operation, at least one thread feed wheel, which is seated so that the thread wheel feed is rotatable around a predetermined axis of rotation by way of a support arrangement arranged on a support, the support being designed to be connected with a thread processing mechanism, the thread feed wheel including a contact surface for the frictionally connected conveyance of the thread, a thread guide lever, which is seated on the support by way of a bearing device and which supports a yarn guide element, whose position affects the frictional connection between the thread and the contact surface, and a vibration generating arrangement (28) for applying a vibrational movement to the thread.
