Abstract
An apparatus and method for anchoring thread to the surface of a bobbin, the apparatus including a movable arm for grasping the bobbin and a lever attached to the movable arm, the lever having two members for engaging the surface of the bobbin with one of the members being a roller. The movable arm places the bobbin in a mandrel, and a second movable arm moves the thread between the roller and the surface of the bobbin. The roller is then brought into contact with the surface of the bobbin and the mandrel is rotated to thereby wind the thread onto the bobbin. The second movable arm includes a cutting blade for cutting the thread, and a hook and movable lever for moving the thread into position.
