Abstract
A roller unit aligns tapes in a width direction and feeds the aligned tapes. The tapes are made of fibers which have not been impregnated with resin or have been impregnated with the resin. The roller unit includes rollers and a support shaft. The rollers rotate by friction force between the tapes and the rollers when the rollers contact with the tapes. The rollers are aligned so that rotation axes of the rollers lie on a same straight line. Diameters of the rollers are same as each other. The support shaft supports the rollers rotatably at rotational speeds independent from each other.
