La présente invention concerne un appareil d'alimentation en fil pour machine à broder automatique, qui achemine un fil de dessus d'une unité d'alimentation en fil à une aiguille. L'appareil comprend un dispositif de réglage de la tension du fil, dont une partie de contact avec le fil permet à un fil de dessus de s'y enrouler au moins partiellement, et qui règle la tension du fil de dessus en résistant à celui-ci au moment de son passage sur la partie de contact avec le fil. L'appareil comprend également une unité de sortie conçue pour tourner autour d'un axe de rotation préétabli, et mise en rotation pendant qu'elle retient le fil de dessus à distance de l'axe de rotation afin de placer le fil de dessus sur le dispositif de réglage de la tension du fil. L'appareil comprend en outre un organe de commande de sortie qui entraîne en rotation l'unité de sortie afin d'enrouler au moins partiellement le fil de dessus sur la partie de contact avec le fil. L'invention concerne ainsi un appareil d'alimentation en fil pour machine à broder automatique, qui règle sans inconvénient la tension d'un fil de dessus et réduit le temps de travail.
