Apparatus for forming a continuous plastic sheet

An apparatus for forming a sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic and laying said sheet on a prepared terrain surface, said apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• carrier feed means mounted on said frame for feeding a carrier web through said apparatus in a first direction;
• resin and fiber depositing means mounted on said frame for depositing a layer of resin and fiber on said carrier web;
• propulsion means associated with said apparatus to move said apparatus over said prepared terrain surface in a second direction opposite said first direction;
• carrier guide means for guiding said carrier web from said apparatus to said terrain surface after deposition of said resin and fiber layer;
• and
• wrinkle-inducing means for causing a wrinkle to be formed in said carrier web associated with said frame and positioned to contact said carrier web having the resin and fiber layer on it prior to said web being laid on said terrain surface.

An apparatus for forming a sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic and laying said sheet on a prepared terrain surface, said apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• carrier feed means mounted on said frame for feeding a carrier web through said apparatus in a first direction, said carrier web being comprised of a predetermined number of strips of web material positioned adjacent one another;
• resin and fiber depositing means mounted on said frame for depositing a layer of resin and fiber on said carrier web;
• propulsion means associated with said apparatus to move said apparatus over said prepared terrain surface in a second direction opposite said first direction;
• and
• carrier guide means for guiding said carrier web from said apparatus to said terrain surface after deposition of said resin and fiber layer.
