Patent ID: 8402801

Claim:
A cord manufacturing apparatus that manufactures a cord shaped in a longitudinal direction, the apparatus comprising: a stationary shaping body and a movable shaping body arranged opposite to each other and having through holes through which the cord is passed, respectively, the movable shaping body being capable of moving along the stationary shaping body so that the through holes become eccentric with respect to each other; a supply device that supplies and sequentially passes the cord through the through holes of respective shaping body; and a moving device that bends and shapes the cord passing between the through holes having become eccentric with respect to each other due to movement of the movable shaping body, wherein the moving device has a first and a second displacement mechanism which reciprocatingly displace the movable shaping body in directions crossing each other and whose displacement amounts can be independently changed and a driving mechanism that moves the movable shaping body in response to the displacement in the both directions by driving the first and second displacement mechanisms.
