  • Patent number: 4584226
    Abstract: A load transfer structure in which laminated sheets and fiber strands are formed into webs directed to intersect at a common junction and integrated by resin using heat and pressure. The fiber strands are inserted between the laminated sheets by a method of continuously winding such a strand in a repetitive weave pattern around primary spaced supports or mandrels carrying the laminate sheets, and then combining with the wound laminate sheets other laminate sheets supported on secondary mandrels. The mandrels with the sheets and wound fiber strand are cured in a heating and pressure step so that the load transfer structure has its several components integrated into rigid and hard webs directed outwardly from the common zone where the fiber strands cross each other without interruptions.
