Abstract
Apparatus and method for manufacturing a resin structure reinforced with long fibers by impregnating a continuous fiber bundle with a molten resin, shaping the resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle so as to have a cross section of an intended final product; and then taking up the resin-impregnated and shaped continuous fiber bundle shaped with upper and lower endless belts or rolls. A comb-shaped structure is positioned at a location on an upstream side of the endless belts or rolls so as to hold the resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle between two adjacent teeth thereof. The comb-shaped structure is oscillated in a widthwise direction of the endless belts or rolls with the resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle held between the two adjacent teeth thereof so as to responsively oscillate the resin-impregnated continuous fiber bundle in the widthwise direction of the endless belts or rolls.
