PURPOSE: To apply a sufficient tension feeding force without deforming a porous stereoscopic structure by inserting and expanding a plurality of fixing members among fiber bundles to hold fixedly when the sequentially woven porous stereoscopic woven fabric is impregnated and solidified with matrix in a tensile state to continuously manufacture it.
CONSTITUTION: Tension feeder bodies 2, 3 are vertically moved at an elevator 36 along a guide rail 35 longitudinally provided at a frame 30 by the operation of a cylinder 34. When a porous stereoscopic structure C is fed for a supporting air gap section D to arrive at a position corresponding to a fixing member 37, the cylinder 34 provided at the frame 30 is operated, the elevator 36 is moved down along the rail 35, and the member 37 is inserted between warp fiber bundles Z of the section D in a shrinked state. Then, fluid is fed under pressure into a bag 39 by the operation of a pump so that the bag 39 is expanded against the tension of a spring 40, and the bundles Z are held fixedly by the holding plates 41 of the adjacent members 37.
