A wire rod disposing device, comprising:
- a wire rod delivering mechanism configured to deliver a wire rod from a nozzle at a predetermined speed;
- a member support part configured to support a disposition target member such that the wire rod is routed after the wire rod is delivered from the nozzle and curved;
- and
- a tension application mechanism configured to apply tension to the wire rod, the wire rod being routed to the disposition target member by being delivered from the nozzle, wherein
- the tension application mechanism has:
- a wire rod guide in contact with a curvature-inner side of the wire rod that has been delivered from the nozzle and curved;
- and
- an elastic member configured to bias the wire rod guide such that the wire rod guide is moved towards a curvature-outer side of the wire rod;
- and
