  • Method of making a semifinished product
    Patent number: 10711109
    Abstract: A semifinished product for making a composite fiber molded part is made by first spinning from a row of orifices of a spinning nozzle low-melting fibers of a thermoplastic. These low-melting fibers are then combined into a laminated semifinished product with high-melting reinforcement fibers of the same thermoplastic but having a melting temperature higher than the melting temperature of the low-melting fibers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2020
    Assignee: REIFENHAUSER GMBH & CO. KG MASCHINENFABRIK
    Inventors: Claudio Cinquemani, Michael Nitschke, Nicolas Quick, Armin Tobay

  • Semifinished product for making molded composite part and method of making same
    Patent number: 10392483
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a semi-finished product for producing a composite molded part (7), in particular a composite fiber molded part, wherein a higher-melting reinforcement material (8), in particular higher-melting reinforcement fibers are combined with lower-melting fibers (10) made of thermoplastic into a laminate (4), wherein the lower-melting fibers are spun and after spinning are combined at a fiber temperature TF with the higher-melting reinforcement material, in particular with higher-melting reinforcement fibers, into the laminate forming the semi-finished product. The fiber temperature TF lies in a temperature range between a temperature of 25° C. below the heat distortion temperature TW to 55° C. above the heat distortion temperature TW of the thermoplastic of the lower-melting fibers.
