Abstract
The invention relates to a hollow fiber-reinforced plastic body comprising a curable resin-impregnated winding of high-strength fibers. To provide a strong hollow fiber-reinforced plastic body having a quick-to-make wall thickness the invention proposes that a double-walled shell which surrounds the hollow body interior is made by a first winding of one or more tapes of an uncut double pile cloth having a spaced-apart top cloth and bottom cloth and also binding pile threads which is covered by an outer winding, the windings being impregnated with a curable resin.
Claims17
A hollow fiber-reinforced body tank consisting of:
- a double-walled structure consisting of a layer of a double-ply cloth tape having spaced apart top and bottom plies, defining a continuous cavity, together with binding pile threads extending therebetween in a hollow space;
- said tape forming said body as a winding having side edges in an edge-to-edge manner with laterally open adjacent edges;
- said tape being impregnated with a curable resin without filling said cavity;
- and
- an inner and outer finishing layer overlaying and adhered to inner and outer surfaces, respectively, of said double-walled structure that surrounds and seals the hollowing interior thereof.
