  • Patent number: 10632692
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of finished parts made of at least one multilayer, fiber-reinforced, flat semifinished-product structure, comprising the following steps: a) heating of the at least one multilayer, fiber-reinforced, flat semifinished-product structure at ambient pressure to a first temperature Ta, where the at least one multilayer, fiber-reinforced, flat semifinished-product structure comprises at least two mutually superposed polymer layers and the individual polymer layers respectively have fiber-reinforcement and do not have coherent bonding to one another or have only partial coherent bonding to one another, and in the event that at least one of the polymer layers comprises a semicrystalline polymer the first temperature Ta is higher than a melting point Tm of the crystalline polymer in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11357-3:2013-04, and in the event that the at least two polymer layers comprise no semicrystalline polymer the first temperature Ta is higher than a glass

  • Publication number: 20190201729
    Abstract: A muscle trainer comprising curved, elongate spring elements is disclosed. The spring elements are arranged with facing concave sides and include end areas formed at each of the ends of the spring elements. The muscle trainer includes a first joint element being formed at a first end area of each spring element and a second joint element being formed at a second end area of each spring element. The spring elements are connected at their two end areas via joints formed from the joint elements. The first joint elements are designed as brackets having a bend in the direction of the concave side of the respective spring element and in each case at least partially enclosing the second joint element of the respective other spring element. A method for producing the muscle trainer and its use as a hand trainer are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190030853
    Abstract: The invention relates to a laminate composed of a first layer made of a first material, and of a second layer made of a polymer reinforced with continuous-filament fibers, where the first layer and the second layer have been bonded over a substantial surface area to one another, where the continuous-filament fibers in the second layer have been oriented in at least three fiber directions, where the three fiber directions lie within a plane oriented parallel to the first layer, and the fiber content has been adjusted in such a way that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second layer in essence corresponds to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first layer.

  • Publication number: 20170305047
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of multishell composite-material components, comprising the following steps: a) insertion of at least one first component (1) into an injection mold and optionally subjecting the first component (1) to a forming process, b) injection of at least one fixing element (4) onto at least one side (5) of the first component (1), c) insertion of at least one second component (2) into the injection mold and optionally subjecting the second component (2) to a forming process, d) bonding of the first component (1) to the second component (2) by way of the side (5) which has the fixing element (4), where a matrix material (6) is injected through the second component (2) onto and/or into the fixing element (4).
