ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for separating strands of floss, string, thread or yarn from a bundle. One embodiment of an apparatus for separating strands of floss, string, thread or yarn from a bundle that consists of an attachment device (12) with low mass, low moment of inertia and low rotational air resistance that attaches to one end of the bundle (10). The opposing end of the attachment device (12) is connected to a swivel assembly (14). The opposing end of the swivel assembly (14) is attached to a rotational energy absorption device (16) with higher mass, higher moment of inertia and higher rotational air resistance. The rotational energy absorption device (16) is depicted in one embodiment as a bob. Other embodiments are described and shown.
