  • Patent number: 5851619
    Abstract: A hollow and cylindrical laminated molded product which is constituted by mutually overlapped joining of edge sides in a longitudinal direction of at least one or more elongated laminated articles formed by layered lamination of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin plates containing reinforcing fibers of not less than 30% and not more than 85% in volume content, and a method of producing the above-mentioned laminated molded product using a simple molding tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5824178
    Abstract: A process for making a laminated sheet by cutting a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin sheet into a plurality of cut sheets. The cut sheets are feed to a butting apparatus to bring adjacent end faces of the cut sheets against each other. The abutted cut sheets are joined to a continuous sheet, which is a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin sheet, by melt welding using a heated roller where the cut sheets and the continuous sheet cling to the heated roller. Cooling of the joined cut sheets and continuous sheet occurs by causing such to cling to a cooling roller. A correcting roller is moved along the cooling roller, where the joined cut sheets and continuous sheet are between the cooling roller and the correcting roller, so that the amount of contact arc between the joined cut sheets and continuous sheet is changed to adjust the amount of warp in the joined cut sheets and continuous sheet.

  • Patent number: 5725940
    Abstract: A composite molded article which is produced by joining multilayer boards composed of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin onto the surface of a core material made of a foamed resin, and its production method.The composite molded article is constituted by a core material which is composed of a foamed resin molded into a desired shape, and the multilayer boards which are produced such that a plurality of prepregs containing reinforcement fiber by a volume content of not less than 30% and not more than 85% are laminated with the direction of the reinforcement fiber being different with respect to each other, and are heated to not less than a melting temperature of a thermoplastic resin contained therein so as to mutually glue the prepregs, and to remove air contained inside.
