1. A device for forming a three dimensional shape to elongated material, the device comprising:
- a body defining a central cavity inside the body, the central cavity having an inner wall;
a material track along which the elongated material is guided in the device, the material track being provided to the inner wall of the central cavity and comprising an opening extending along the material track and open to the central cavity;
one or more shutter elements arranged to prevent the elongated material escaping from the material track to the central cavity via the opening; and
a feed mechanism with a feed roll arranged to be rotated for moving the elongated material in the material track.

Abstract
A device and method are provided for forming a knot to elongated material. The device includes a body, a central cavity inside the body, a material track along which the elongated material is guided in the device, the material track including an opening extending along the material track and open to the central cavity. The device further includes one or more barrier elements for blocking at least part of the opening for preventing the elongated material from escaping from the material track also prevents collapsing/folding of the material to the central cavity via the opening.

13. A method for forming a three dimensional shape to elongated material with a device comprising a body defining a central cavity inside the body, the central cavity having an inner wall, and a material track along which the elongated material is guided in the device, the material track being provided to the inner wall of the central cavity and comprising an opening extending along the material track and open to the central cavity, the method comprising the steps of:
-
feeding elongated material into the material track; moving the elongated material through the material track; releasing the elongated material from the material track into the central cavity; and preventing the elongated material from escaping from the material track through the opening to the central cavity with shutter elements during guiding the elongated material along at least part of the material track, wherein the device further comprises a feed mechanism having a feed roll, the method comprising feeding the elongated material through the material track with the feed mechanism by rotating the feed roll. - View Dependent Claims (14)
