Hair feeding device

A hair feeding device configured to perform a feeding operation for pulling out flocking hairs one by one from a bundle of flocking hairs, the device comprising:

• a feeder configured to hold the bundle of flocking hairs and separate hair ends of a plurality of the flocking hairs in a direction different from that of the bundle;
• a detector configured to detect three-dimensional positions of the separated hair ends of the plurality of flocking hairs;
• a head for capturing the separated hair ends of the flocking hairs in a state where the separated hair ends of the flocking hairs are oriented in the direction different from that of the bundle;
• a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the head to any three-dimensional position;
• and
• a control device configured to perform an operation control of the feeding operation, wherein
• the control device controls the conveyance mechanism so that the head captures the separated hair ends of the flocking hairs at three-dimensional positions of the hair ends of one flocking hair among the plurality of hairs detected by the detector.
