Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and to a device for detecting a thickening in a running thread. The thread runs through a forked guide element which is moved away from an initial position by a thickening in the thread, thereby triggering a signal. While the guide element is moved away, it allows the thread having the thickening to continue running and is then returned to its initial position.
