Patent ID: 8726624

Claim:
A method for braking of yarn at a renewal of spinning at a work position of a textile spinning machine, comprising: with a vacuum tube of an attending device having a vacuum tube, sucking in an end of the yarn; at drawing off of the yarn from the vacuum tube, braking the yarn between a braking surface of a stationary brake friction member and a moving brake friction member arranged on the attending device along a path of the yarn, wherein the moving brake friction member moves towards and into contact with a contact abscissa or surface of the stationary brake friction member; applying an action force on the moving brake friction member at a loading point (Y) and a reaction force at a stop point (X); wherein a first one of the loading point (Y) or the stop point (X) is located at an end of the moving brake friction member lying opposite to the contact abscissa or surface and the other respective point lies between the end of the moving brake friction member and the first point; wherein the action force is generated by a control member acting on the moving brake friction member at the loading point (Y), and the reaction force is generated by a stop against which the moving brake friction member contacts at the stop point (X); and wherein the braking surface of the moving brake friction member abuts against the braking surface of the stationary brake friction member along an entire longitudinal length of the contact abscissa or surface.
