Abstract

A clamping device for a planer layer of threads includes a clamping rail adapted to extend across the layer of threads and provided with a contact zone for contacting one face of the thread layer, and a plurality of clamping member units spaced along the length of the clamping rail. Each of the clamping member units includes a support element having a pivot axis and mounted for pivoting movement about the pivot axis and linear movement along the axis, and a thread contacting member carried by the end portion of the supporting member. When the support element is pivoted about the pivot axis, the thread contacting member swings from a first position at right angles to the contact zone of the clamping rail to a second position parallel to the contact zone. When the support element is moved in the linear direction, the thread contacting member moves closer to or farther from the clamping rail.
