Abstract: A device for use with automatic yarn filling apparatus on a shuttle loom for imparting a rotation to a spent bobbin ejected from a shuttle comprises a substantially rigid friction pad and a bracket member for mounting the friction pad on the loom so that the angle of the friction pad relative to the path of a descending bobbin may be adjusted to impart a rotation for unwinding an effective transfer tail of unused yarn from the bobbin.
