Abstract
An apparatus for cutting textile strands and forming the cut strands into bundles including a means for supplying the textile strands. A means for positioning the textile strands funnels the textile strands into a grouping of substantially parallel strands having a substantially cylindrical cross-section. A means for wrapping the parallelly arranged strands places a wrapper of paper around the strands and secures it by adhesive. A capstan guides the parallel strands to an accumulator pipe which has at its end a means for cutting the strands. The strands are held and retained so that a blade can cut them and the ends of the strands of the bundle are joined by adhesive or heat. An adhesive strip is tangentially attached to the sides of the bundles so that they may be wrapped around a rotating shaft.
