  • Publication number: 20040074587
    Abstract: Ready-made technical process for manufacturing fiber-reinforced plastic building components that envisions the use of a link and optionally of a flange and/or a base using textile blanks (10) as starting material, and, initially, at least two layers of the textile blanks are positioned vis-à-vis one another, clamped in and undergo a first sewing-up process, and a preform is fashioned featuring the architecture of the product that is to be manufactured, and subsequently the preform is infiltrated with resin in order to realize the plastic building component, as well as of a tension module for realizing a flange on a textile preform and a sewing material holder that receives a textile preform in order to implement the referred to steps.

  • Publication number: 20040074589
    Abstract: A method is described whereby multilayer tailored fiber placement (TFP) preforms of any desired thickness may be easily produced without fixing threads or intermediate layers interfering. To this end, the invention provides that reinforcing fibers (1) are sewn onto a substrate (2) using a chemically or thermally meltable fixing thread (3) thus resulting in the formation of a reinforcing fiber structure (5a). The fixing thread (3) firstly serves to fix the reinforcing fibers (1) on the substrate (2) and is subsequently melted so that the fixing thread (3) disintegrates while pre-fixing the reinforcing fibers (1) and does not influence the mechanical properties of the reinforcing fiber structure (5a).

  • Publication number: 20030178738
    Abstract: A fiber composite structural component such as a fitting, bracket, mounting or the like is produced by applying fiber material such as fiber threads or fiber yarns in an automatic circular weaving operation to a core that has at least two sections, to form a fiber material body (6). One core section is removed from the fiber material body when the weaving is completed. The body is then deformed in a mold that has the contour of the finished structural component with at least one mold core section still in the fiber material body. The deformed configuration of the structural component is then impregnated in an RTM device with a resin and hardener followed by curing. Reinforcements may be inserted or secured to the fiber material body prior to the impregnated and curing step.
