Abstract: The present invention relates to a weft winding and unwinding device in which for convenience use of a weft which is a hair band made by weaving one end of hair by machine sewing or by hand sewing, the weft is uniformly wound around a winding rod of a driving shaft and is unwound later for use. The weft winding and unwinding device includes a winding rod rotatably mounted on a casing to wind the weft therearound, a rotation means which rotates the winding rod during operation to cause the weft to be wound around the winding rod and causes the weft to be forcedly unwound from the winding rod while maintaining a predetermined tension during non-operation upon pulling of the weft wound around the winding rod, a casing to which one end portion of the winding rod is rotatably fixed, the casing comprising the rotation means therein, and a connection means formed on the casing for fixation on the a predetermined place.

Abstract: The method of disposing the weft, in a loom for displacing the weft led into a weft insert nozzle by jetting the air current from a guide nozzle disposed in a reed sley and releasing the weft from the upstream side of the weft inset nozzle to the vicinity of an intake of an discharge device, is characterized in that, when displacing the weft to the vicinity of the intake, the reed sley is stopped at a position where the air current from the guide nozzle is directed to the vicinity of the intake.
