A fiber composite component has two inner elements arranged at a distance from one another, around which inner elements a fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped. In order to simplify the production of the fiber composite component, a first fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped around a first inner element, and a second fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped around a second inner element. The first and the second fiber-reinforced plastics band are wrapped alternately around the first and the second inner element in such a manner that the distance between the inner elements is bridged by the first and the second fiber-reinforced plastics band.

A system and method of forming fiberglass air filtration media is disclosed which does not require the use of oil additives. A mixture of resin binder, polymer, and dry adhering agent is formed and applied to the fiberglass as it spins onto the drum. Additionally, the fiberglass filtration media density can vary such that the fiber on the air inflow is less dense than the fiber on the air outflow. After oven curing, the finished air filtration media has an improved ability to attract and hold dust and other contaminants.

In the production of a tubular fiber arrangement as an intermediate product for a composite part, the local conditions are taken into account in an especially simple and reliable manner with respect to the geometry of the composite part and its load profile. When forming the composite part on a core, the fiber mass supplied during the formation of the tube is proportional to the local circumference of the composite part which results from the diameter. The advancement speed of the core remains substantially constant.

The present invention generally relates to an improved winding apparatus useful in the production of filament wound products and particularly wound tubular products having high length to diameter ratios. The improved winding apparatus comprises a support means for supporting a rotatable mandrel during the manufacture of wound products, the support means comprising a plurality of axially spaced pins extending circumferentially around the mandrel, and a support assembly having a semicircular inner face and an opening, wherein a portion of the plurality of pins is brought into contact with the inner face of the support assembly when the mandrel is rotated.

In this disclosure, filament winding method and system without a resin dip bath are disclosed. The method comprises feeding a fiber on a mandrel without dipping the fiber in a resin bath; and applying a resin onto the fiber at the point of where the fiber contacts the mandrel. In an embodiment, the fiber comprises carbon fiber, basalt fiber, S-glass fiber, S-2 glass fiber, A-glass fiber, C-glass fiber, E-glass fiber, D-glass fiber, Kevlar fiber, ECR glass fiber. In an embodiment, the resin comprises polyester resin, vinylester resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, BMI resin, polyurethane resin, cyanate ester resin. In an embodiment, the fiber is fed on the mandrel at an angle of from about 25 to 65, wherein the angle is defined as the angle between the fiber and a horizontal plane when the mandrel is placed horizontally. Further disclosed are parts made according to the instant filament winding method.
