  • Patent number: 7854449
    Abstract: The present invention is a composite laminated sheet material suitable for structures such as containment sumps. The laminated material comprises a fabric-backed thermoplastic layer upon which thermoset plastic is applied to the fabric side. The thermoplastic layer is formed by contacting a layer of fabric onto a layer of molten thermoplastic such that the liquid thermoplastic permeates a portion of the fabric layer to form a mechanical bond with the fabric layer when the thermoplastic layer cools and hardens. Thermoset plastic, such as fibreglass resin, is sprayed onto the fabric side of the thermoplastic layer to allow the liquid resin to permeate the fabric layer. Once the resin cures and hardens, the fabric layer is mechanically bonded to the cured thermoset plastic layer to effectively bond the thermoplastic layer to the thermoset plastic layer.

  • Patent number: 6450543
    Abstract: An insert section of an insert member is inserted into a tube member in a state in which the insert member is detached from a recess to form a diametrally expanded section on the tube member. Subsequently, the insert member is fitted to the recess to install the tube member to the recess. At this stage, an outer circumferential surface of an expanded section of the insert member tightly contacts with an inner circumferential surface of the recess to effect the sealing function. Subsequently, a tapered section and an outer circumferential surface of the tube member are resin-welded by using a welding material. Thus, the tube member is prevented from disengagement from a body.
