An apparatus accumulating a filiform element in order to absorb differences in input and output travel speeds of the element, without tangling and damaging the element. Mechanical means located above an accumulation container draw the filiform element at the input speed and wind the filiform element in layers of coils stacked on the botton of the container following an epicycloid or hypocycloid path. Two stationary concentric rings, respectively attached to and suspended above the bottom of the container, guide the filiform element unwound at the output speed through the bottom of the container to the outside. The apparatus is particularly designed for a very fine and fragile filiform element such as an optical fiber, and is inserted between a multifibering machine and a cabling line.
