To positively fix a filament end at a low cost by fitting a filament end fixing member for holding down a bunch winding part, to a filament package with the bunch winding part to fix the filament end.
When a bobbin 17 mounted to a bobbin holder 15 is wound with filament by a specified quantity by the winding drive of a contact roller 20, a turret table 13 is rotated to perform package changing work. Upon the completion of changing, a cover 22 is swung around a fulcrum 22a by a cylinder and inserted between the bobbin holders 14, 15. When the bobbin holder 15 is stopped by a braking device, a rod 27a of the cylinder 27 is pulled in, and an arm 24 swings around a fulcrum 24a to bring a feed port 25b into contact with a bunch winding part of a filament package 18. In this state, a U-shaped fastener 4 is driven into the bunch winding part of the filament package 18 from the feed port 25b to fasten a filament end.
