Abstract: An apparatus for producing a paper tube or like tube at a constant speed by helically winding tape on a mandrel tightly with a great torsional force without creating any tape-to-tape clearance and delivering the tube formed from the mandrel axially thereof with a great force while rotating the tube without warping the mandrel. The apparatus comprises tape feeders, the mandrel and a tube rotating-drawing device for delivering the tube from the mandrel axially thereof while rotating the tube. When required, other devices can be provided for the apparatus which include a tape winding device and a tube press which are interposed between the tape feeders and the tube rotating-drawing device, and a resin-coated tape feeder, resin applicator stand, drying oven, grinding stand and tube cutter which are arranged downstream from the tube rotating-drawing device.
