To provide a fiber bundle feeder capable of automatically replacing bobbins.SOLUTION: A fiber bundle feeder 100 has a rotation shaft 31 which is selectively inserted into a first bobbin 2a and a second bobbin 2b. The fiber bundle feeder comprises: an unwinding device 30 which unwinds a fiber bundle 1; a touch roller 41 which is arranged parallel to the rotation shaft 31 and conveys the fiber bundle 1; a clamp part 51 which holds the fiber bundle 1 unwound from the first bobbin 2a; a cutting blade 52c which moves the fiber bundle 1 in the axial direction of the touch roller 41 and cuts it; a pull-out mechanism 60 which pulls out the fiber bundle 1 wound around the second bobbin 2b while causing it to pass through the touch roller 41; and a press-bonding part 52h which holds and press-bonds the terminal end of a fiber bundle 1 unwound from the first bobbin 2a and cut by the cutting blade 52c and the leading end of a fiber bundle 1 pulled out from the second bobbin 2b in the axial direction of the touch roller 41.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】ボビンの交換を自動で行うことが可能な繊維束供給装置を提供する。【解決手段】繊維束供給装置１００は、第１ボビン２ａおよび第２ボビン２ｂに選択的に挿入される回転軸３１を有し、繊維束１を巻き出す巻出装置３０と、回転軸３１に対して平行に配置され、繊維束１を搬送するタッチローラ４１と、第１ボビン２ａから巻き出された繊維束１を挟持するクランプ部５１と、繊維束１をタッチローラ４１の軸方向に移動して切断する切断刃５２ｃと、第２ボビン２ｂに巻かれた繊維束１を、タッチローラ４１を通過させながら引き出す引出機構６０と、第１ボビン２ａから巻き出され切断刃５２ｃにより切断された繊維束１の終端部と第２ボビン２ｂから引き出された繊維束１の先端部とをタッチローラ４１の軸方向に挟み込んで圧着する圧着部５２ｈと、を含む。【選択図】図２
