THERMOPLASTIC INJECTION MOLDED ELEMENT WITH INTEGRAL THERMOPLASTIC POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR REINFORCED COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

摘要

Disclosed embodiments may relate generally to manufactured elements having composite reinforcement, and more specifically to elements comprising a composite precisely positioned within the element for support. Embodiments of such elements typically may be formed using injection molding. Embodiments may further comprise an integral thermoplastic positioning system for positioning the composite, and encapsulating thermoplastic forming the exterior geometry of the element.
