  • Patent number: 6843953
    Abstract: In a method for producing fiber-reinforced plastic components made of dry fiber composite preforms by an injection method for injecting matrix material, the arrangement of the fiber composite preform on one surface of the preform resulting in a flow promoting device, on a tool, creates a first space by a gas-permeable and matrix-material-impermeable membrane surrounding the preforms. Formation of a second space arranged between the first space and the surroundings by a foil, which is impermeable to gaseous material and matrix material, is provided, with removal by suction, of air from the second space resulting in matrix material being sucked from a reservoir into the evacuated first space and with the flow promoting device causing distribution of the matrix material above the surface of the preform facing the flow promoting device, thus causing the matrix material to penetrate the preform vertically.

  • Publication number: 20040219244
    Abstract: Method for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic component including arranging a fiber composite semi-finished product on a tool, forming a first cavity, forming a second cavity adjacent to the first cavity, suctioning air from the second cavity, distributing the matrix material over the at least one side using a flow promoting device, and allowing the matrix material to penetration into the fiber composite semi-finished product from a vertical direction. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

  • Publication number: 20030011094
    Abstract: A method for producing fibre-reinforced plastic components made of dry fibre composite preforms by means of an injection method for injecting matrix material. Arrangement of the fibre composite preform (1) on one surface (11) of the preform (1) resulting in a flow promoting device (15), on a tool (3), creates a first space (10) by means of a gas-permeable and matrix-material-impermeable membrane (7) surrounding the preforms (1). Formation of a second space (27) situated between the first space and the surroundings by means of a foil (19) which is impermeable to gaseous material and matrix material, is provided, with removal by suction, of air from the second space (27) resulting in matrix material being sucked from a reservoir into the evacuated first space (10) and with the flow promoting device (15) causing distribution of the matrix material above the surface (11) of the preform (1) facing said flow promoting device (15), thus causing the matrix material to penetrate the preform (1) vertically.
