Apparatus for laying fiber tapes

An apparatus for laying fiber tapes (2), comprising a deflection guide (1) for the fiber tapes (2) comprising pressure plates for deflection of the tapes, which pressure plates are arranged adjacent to one another perpendicularly to a deflection axis and are resiliently supported in a pressing direction, and comprising a frame (16), which is displaceable in a laying direction, for accommodating the pressure plates, wherein pressure rollers form grooved pulleys (6) which engage in circumferential bearing receivers (8), are axially guided on each other and between lateral guide stops (7) and are held in bearing engagement with the bearing receivers (8) by means of elastic endless belts (10) which are guided about a bearing roller (11) mounted in lateral retainers (12), and wherein the bearing receivers (8) are resiliently supported independently from each other in the pressing direction on an abutment (13) provided between the lateral retainers (12).
