Abstract: The carrying apparatus is a carbon fiber-containing resin sheet carrying apparatus for carrying a carbon fiber-containing resin sheet heated in a heating furnace to a pressing device, comprising a slider that moves between the heating furnace and the pressing device and a sheet holder that is mounted thereon and chucks both the end parts of the carbon fiber-containing resin sheet to apply tension. The sheet holder can have a structure such that it comprises chuck claws and a tension unit that displaces these chuck claws to the outside. The sheet holder may have a structure such that it comprises a holding metal fitting with a spring, that is arranged inside a holding frame and a chuck claw that chucks this holding frame.

Abstract: The carrying apparatus is a carbon fiber-containing resin sheet carrying apparatus for carrying a carbon fiber-containing resin sheet W heated in a heating furnace to a pressing device, comprising a slider 4 that moves between the heating furnace and the pressing device and a sheet holder 10 that is mounted thereon and chucks both the end parts of the carbon fiber-containing resin sheet W to apply tension. The sheet holder 10 can have a structure such that it comprises chuck claws 13, 16 and a tension unit 19 that displaces these chuck claws to the outside. The sheet holder 10 may have a structure such that it comprises a holding metal fitting with a spring, that is arranged inside a holding frame and a chuck claw that chucks this holding frame.
