Abstract:
The present invention relates to a knotting system and comprises one or more hair knotting apparatuses, installed along the feed direction of the thread, for knotting hair on a thread. The hair knotting apparatus comprises: an insertion groove into which one or more strands of hair are inserted; a hair insertion member having a pull-out hole on the bottom surface of the insertion groove; a hair pull-out member for taking hold and pulling out the hair, which has been inserted in the insertion groove, through the pull-out hole so as to be positioned past the thread from below, and forming a knotting hole as the thread and hair connect; a hair knotting member penetrating the knotting hole from bottom to top to be positioned above the thread; and a hair winding member for taking hold of both ends of the hair pulled out from the hair insertion member, and winding both ends of the hair while rotating around the hair knotting member past the thread from above, wherein the hair knotting member knots the hair on the thread by pulling both ends of the wound hair downward through the knotting hole.

Claim (Index 14):
A knotting method comprising:\n (a) a step of inserting one or more hairs into an insertion groove of a hair insertion member; (b) a step of inserting a hair pull-out member into a pull-out hole of the hair insertion member and picking up the hair inserted into the insertion groove, then pulling out the hair so that the hair is positioned past a portion under a thread, and then forming a knotting hole while the thread and the hair are connected; (d) a step of moving a hair knotting member to pass through the knotting hole from bottom to top; (e) a step of winding both end portions of the hair pulled out from the pull-out hole around the hair winding member positioned above the thread by using a hair winding member; and (f) a step of pulling down, through the knotting hole, both the end portions of the hair wound around the hair knotting member, thereby knotting the hair onto the thread.
