FIBER APPLICATION MACHINE WITH FLEXIBLE FIBER DELIVERY TUBES WITH FLEXIBLE BLADES

摘要

The present invention relates to a fiber application machine for producing parts made of composite materials, comprising a fiber application head, a displacement system for moving said head, fiber storage means, and means (4). ) conveying the fibers of said storage means to the head. Said conveying means comprise first flexible tubes (41), each first flexible tube being able to receive a fiber in its internal passage, and being provided with at least one longitudinal flexible blade (42) of rectangular cross section. Each first flexible tube (41) and its associated flexible blade (42) are placed in a second flexible tube (44), so that said second flexible tube holds said flexible blade substantially against the flexible first tube, while permitting longitudinal displacement relative to the flexible blade relative to the first flexible tube.
