ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for tensioning a running length of textile yarn. The device in its simplest form is made up of a housing with a yarn passageway extending therethrough. An annular seat is provided in the passageway and provides a surface for receiving a spherical element thereat with the element being out of contact with walls of the passageway while at rest on the seat. Relative dimensions of the passageway and the seat are such that the spherical element is precluded against lateral movement away from the seat, whereby the spherical element constantly applies tension against a yarn passing between the seat and the spherical element. The passageway further extends above the spherical element at the seat and may receive a plurality of elements if desired.
