摘要:
L'invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer une gaine de protection réalisée en une matière stratifiée, au moyen d'un mandrin de drapage. Avantageusement, on prévoit sur ledit mandrin (1), deux éléments longitudinaux (3) faisant saillie par rapport à sa périphérie (1A) et disposés le long de deux génératrices (M₁,M₂) diamétralement opposées, délimitant ledit mandrin en deux parties hémicylindriques longitudinales (1B,1C), et :
on dispose, sur l'une desdites parties hémicylindriques, une première nappe de matière stratifiée souple (4), dont les bords longitudinaux (4A) recouvrent lesdits éléments longitudinaux ; on dispose, sur l'autre partie hémicylindrique, une seconde nappe de matière stratifiée souple (5), dont les bords longitudinaux (5A) recouvrent ceux de la première nappe et lesdits éléments longitudinaux ; on applique, par différence de pression, les nappes contre les parties hémicylindriques (1B,1C) ; on procède au durcissement des deux nappes (4,5) qui définissent deux demi-coquilles hémicylindriques (7,8) emboîtées par leurs bords longitudinaux respectifs (4A,5A) et formant des renflements longitudinaux externes (4A₁, 5A₁) ; et, on retire les deux demi-coquilles dudit mandrin.
摘要:
The subject matter of this invention relates to a method and apparatus for making mats (18) of continuous glass fiber strands (6) in which a heated calendering roll (27) and continuous belt (25) are used to compact the mat, expel excess moisture, melt, and/or cure resin previously distributed throughout the glass strand. The resin may be deposited in the mat in the form of a powdered resin (21) or as a continuous thread of material that is combined with the remaining strands that form the mat as the glass strands are projected onto the surface of a moving conveyor (14) to form the mat.
摘要:
A stampable sheet made of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin and a molded article produced from the sheet, wherein the reinforcement is a glass fiber mat comprising a nondirectional fiber layer and a unidirectional fiber layer mechanically entangled with each other. The use of 20 to 55 wt% of a glass fiber mat wherein the content of a long glass fiber bundle constituting the unidirectional fiber layer is 20 to 80 wt% and a significant portion of the glass fiber bundle or the glass fiber is in a substantially relaxed state has made it possible to enhance the tensile strengths in all the directions, the molding fluidity of the long glass fiber bundle in the direction of arrangement (reinforcement), and the compression strength in the direction of reinforcement. A molded article produced from the above stampable sheet alone or a laminate thereof is one improved in the tensile strengths in all the directions, the compression strength in the direction of reinforcement, reliability, appearance, and ease of handling.
摘要:
A three-dimensional component is produced in a simplified molding operation. Expandable substrates, which are referred to as blanks, are created by compressing thermobonded nonwovens after heating the binder material above its melting temperature, and then cooling the compressed nonwovens so that the binder material hardens and holds the fibers of the nonwoven together in a compressed configuration with stored kinetic energy. Boards can be formed by laminating two or more blanks together and/or by laminating the blanks with other materials, including non-expendable materials. A mold for the component to be manufactured can be partially filled with a number of boards (or blanks) in a stacked, vertically, adjacent or even random orientation. In addition, the boards or blanks may be cut to create desired shapes of parts that can be placed in the mold. Upon application of heat to the boards or blanks or parts in the mold, the binder material is melted so as to allow the nonwoven material to expand in one or more directions, and thereby fill all or part of the mold. Upon cooling, the binder material again hardens, and the molded component is retrieved from the mold. Depending on the nature of the boards used, i.e., they may be the same or different from each other both in materials and configuration, physical attributes of the molded component can be achieved in a tailored fashion. For example, a seat or mattress may include an expanded and softer top layer of nonwoven, under which is a relatively harder layer of vertically lapped nonwoven or other material, etc. Steam heating for expanding the self-rising board is improved by controlling the rate of admission of the steam to the mold which is used to expand the expandable substrates, as well as applying a vacuum pressure to the mold after expansion of the expandable substrates.
