Abstract: In order to superimpose and store optical fiber ribbons in a corresponding one of spiral grooves provided in the outer circumferential surface of a spacer, an optical fiber ribbon stranding device includes: a device for advancing the spacer straight while rotating the spacer around the center axis of the spacer, the advancing device being constituted by, for example, a tension giving device and a take-up device; a device for feeding a plurality of optical fiber ribbons; a guide die for guiding the optical fiber ribbons into the corresponding one of the spiral grooves; and an alignment keeping guide disposed upstream of the guide die. A rectangular hole is provided to extend through the alignment keeping guide, and the optical fiber ribbons are passed through and superimposed by the hole. The optical fiber ribbons kept in a superimposed state by the alignment keeping guide is introduced and accommodated into the corresponding one of the grooves of the spacer through the guide die.
