A fiber spreading apparatus prevents a fiber bundle from being split apart. Position restriction rollers 43g and 43h are arranged in a fiber bundle streaming and feeding section 43 so as to restrict a streaming and feeding position of the fiber bundle 1. A spread width of the fiber bundle 1 is thereby restricted and the fiber bundle is prevented from being split apart. A squeezing roller mechanism 52, which is arranged outside of a liquid stored in a fiber spreading tank 40, guides the fiber bundle 1 from within the liquid in the fiber spreading tank 40 to the squeezing roller mechanism 52 while bringing the fiber bundle into constant contact with a first guide 51. By so configuring, a surface tension of the liquid acts to prevent the fiber bundle 1 from being split apart. |
