Plastic component, in particular luggage shell, made of self-reinforced thermoplastic material and apparatus for making such a component

摘要

The invention relates to a product on the basis of self-reinforced thermoplastic material by means of the step of tensioning said material (lamina), at least partially tensioning said lamina during all follow-up component shaping and/or molding steps up to a release of a component pre-form shape from the remainder lamina, to form the component.;The present invention allows the manufacturing of an ultra-light weight luggage shell on the basis of using self-reinforced thermoplastic material, the manufacturing of same can be further enhanced by permanently tensioning said material during all manufacturing steps up to the final finishing of the product. The invention refers to the respective equipment for manufacturing such product as well.
