Abstract:
A bent pipe of reinforced synthetic resin is produced by supporting a flexible and elastic tubular mandrel in a stiff and straight position, forming layers of fiber impregnated with thermo-hardening synthetic resin about the mandrel, releasing the mandrel from the straightly stiffened position, bending the mandrel in the desired curvature, heat hardening the synthetic resin, and then extracting the mandrel from the bent pipe thus formed and hardened.
Abstract:
A first reinforcing fiber layer is formed of reinforcing fibers which are wound around an outer periphery of a mandrel. The reinforcing fibers are aligned in parallel to a direction (+θ direction) in which the reinforcing fibers intersect with an annular direction (0° direction) of the mandrel, and seamlessly continue in the annular direction of the mandrel by an amount of at least one rotation.
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods of fabricating components of a pressure vessel using a dicyclopentadiene prepolymer formulation in which the purity of the dicyclopentadiene is at least 92% wherein the formulation further comprises a reactive ethylene monomer that renders the prepolymer formulation flowable at ambient temperatures and to pressure vessels that are fabricated by said methods.
Abstract:
A device for manufacturing an FC component with at least one distributing device for placing at least band-shaped material onto a surface of a tool mold or semi-finished product for manufacturing the FC component, wherein the device has at least one bogie truck that carries the distributing device and a guide way that runs around the surface at least partially in its circumferential direction, on which the bogie truck for traversing the distributing device can be moved relative to the surface, as well as a method for manufacturing a fiber composite component and a component fabricated according to such a method.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality fiber reinforced resin member that enables a longitudinal yarn to be laid out, without slipping, around an outer periphery of a mandrel having at least a bent portion, thus allowing both the longitudinal yarn and a diagonal yarn to be evenly laid out, and a method of manufacturing the fiber reinforced resin member, as well as an apparatus manufacturing a fiber fabric for the fiber reinforced resin member. A fiber reinforced resin member 1 includes an elongate fiber fabric formed by braiding a plurality of longitudinal yarns Q, . . . extending in a longitudinal direction of the fiber fabric and a plurality of diagonal yarns P, . . . inclined at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal direction, the fiber fabric being impregnated with resin that is then hardened. The fiber reinforced resin member 1 has at least a bent portion 1″. The longitudinal yarns Q, . . . are spirally wound at the bent portion 1″, in a posture in which the longitudinal yarns are inclined at an angle of, for example, 10 to 15 degrees to the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a resin pipe, including: heating a sheet member after winding the sheet member around a bar desired multiple times and holding the sheet member, wherein the sheet member is melted and molded into a resin pipe by the heating, and the bar is removed from the resin pipe after the heating.
Abstract:
A method for the production of curved thread-reinforced tubular structures composed of rubber layers and of strengthening layers and an accompanying device. In one aspect, the method includes the application of a first rubber layer to the circumference of mandrels driven forward in a feed direction (X) and winding on of a multiplicity of parallel reinforcing threads, having defined thread angles (α) with respect to the feed axis (x), by means of a bobbin creel, to form a first thread ply. The mandrels are led through a rotating deflection element surrounding the mandrels and the reinforcing threads are guided so as to be distributed on the inner circumference. An application of a covering rubber layer may be performed (after the optionally multiple execution of the previous steps, alone or in combination). The mandrels are led through the deflection element of the bobbin creel eccentrically in the region of the deflection element.
Abstract:
A thread, intended to form a carcass reinforcement, is wound in contiguous hoops on a rigid core through an eyelet fastened on a chain mounted on pulleys arranged around the core. The eyelet carries out a reciprocating movement around the core so as to progressively and contiguously lay a hoop upon each forward movement and a hoop upon each return movement.
