PURPOSE: To enable the continuous weaving of a three-dimensional circular woven fabric in high efficiency, by forming a spiral traversing path of a shuttle which delivers a circumferential yarn of a three-dimensional circular woven fabric.

CONSTITUTION: A number of shuttle guides 2 are arranged in circular form around a core material 1. A number of yarn beams 4 to supply a radial yarn 3 arranged in radial direction in a three-dimensional circular woven fabric and a number of yarn beam 6 to supply a longitudinal yarn 5 to be arranged in the axial direction along the inner circumference of a circular woven fabric F are arranged in a state to form circular forms at the out side of the shuttle guides. Each shuttle guide 2 is provided with plural stages (4 stages in the figure) of guiding channels 20 extending in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction radiating from the center material 1. The height of the guiding channels 20 are made to be successively lowered to form a spiral path.
