Abstract
The plastic moulding and design structure has a load-bearing structure (3), which is wholly or partly surrounded by a polymer material (8) forming the moulding. The load-bearing structure (3) is formed from several interconnected, high strength, continuous fibre-reinforced structural elements (5). Thus, in a simple and inexpensive manner it is possible to produce structures with the most varied shapes such as containers, tanks, vehicle frames, etc.
Claims19
A structure comprising
- a plurality of interconnected fiber-reinforced plastic structural elements defining a load bearing structure;
