L'ailette est un dispositif du banc à broches. Elle applique la torsion aux mèches et sert de guide pour les enrouler sur des bobines. L'ailette a la forme d'un U inversé qui est muni de deux branches : une branche solide et une branche creuse. La mèche passe par le haut de la branche creuse de l'ailette, la parcourt et sort à la base de cette branche pour s'enrouler ensuite sur un doigt presseur qui délivre la mèche sur une bobine d'enroulement.

OBS

[...] le ruban se transforme en mèche grâce à une torsion qui lui est donnée par une ailette dans la branche creuse [...].
