Resin impregnating apparatus

摘要

The present invention provides a resin impregnating apparatus which enables a fiber feeding speed to the increased without increasing the size, complexity or costs of the apparatus. A resin impregnating apparatus 1 impregnating fibers F with resin includes a block member 2 including a tapered passage 21 through which the fibers F pass and which is tapered toward a direction in which the fibers F pass, and a resin supply device 3 supplying the resin to the fibers F in the vicinity of an inlet of the tapered passage 21. As the fibers F pass through the tapered passage 21 carrying the supplied resin, the resin is pressurized by a wedge effect of the tapered passage 21 so that the fibers F are impregnated with the resin (Fig. 1).
