Abstract

A filament winding device that optimizes the interval between adjacent fiber bundle guides includes a plurality of helical heads on which fiber bundle guides moving in the direction that is roughly perpendicular to the rotating axis of a liner are radially disposed; and winds a fiber bundle onto the outer circumference surface of the liner by passing the helical heads while rotating the liner. An interval adjusting means adjusts the interval between a virtual plane (Pf) which intersects with the guiding opening of a fiber bundle guide disposed on one of the helical heads so as to be orthogonal to the liner rotating axis and a virtual plane (Pw) which intersects with the guiding opening of a fiber bundle guide disposed on the other helical head so as to be orthogonal to the liner rotating axis.
