Abstract
A connection pipeA is fit in an introduction pipeA. A guide grooveextends on the side of the introduction pipeA in the Z-axis direction. A guide screwis screwed on the peripheral face of the connection pipeA to penetrate through a peripheral wall of the connection pipeA. A distal end of the guide screwenters the guide groove. The distal end of the guide screwis movable in the Z-axis direction in the guide groove. The connection pipeA is movable relative to the introduction pipeA in the Z-axis direction within the range of the length of the guide groove. The connection pipeA and the guide pipesA are moved in the Z-axis direction with an air cylinder. Accordingly, when fiber bundles are arranged using a plurality of guide pipes, the guide pipe is prevented from being caught by a fiber bundle drawn out of another guide pipe.
