Take-up apparatus for and package of tape type non-twisted carbon fiber bundle

A take-up apparatus for tape type non-twisted carbon fiber bundles consolidated into a sheet by a resin composition, comprising:

• guide rollers adapted to first receive said carbon fiber bundles from a fiber bundle supply source;
• a bobbin adapted to take up therearound said carbon fiber bundles sent out from said guide roller structure;
• a driving means for rotating said bobbin;
• and
• a traverse drive unit adapted to traverse said guide roller structure and said bobbin reciprocatingly and relatively to each other in parallel with the axial direction of said bobbin,
• said guide roller structure including
• an introduction guide roller in cylinder shape disposed so that an angle .theta..sub.1 between an axial direction of said introduction guide roller and an axial direction of said bobbin is substantially 90.degree.,
• a final guide roller in cylinder shape disposed so that an angle .theta..sub.e between an axial direction of the final guide roller and the axial direction of said bobbin is in a range from -15.degree. to +5.degree., and
• a plurality of intermediate guide rollers in cylinder shape disposed between said introduction guide roller and said final guide roller so that an angle difference between one intermediate guide roller and an adjacent guide roller is not more than 45.degree..
