Molded Hinge Article for a Side-Loading Refuse Vehicle and Method of Making

摘要

The present development provides a continuous fiber reinforced elastomeric resin molded article which may be exemplified by a flexible hinge used in the hostile environment of a refuse collection vehicle. The present development also provides an advanced molding process for making fiber-reinforced elastomeric composite molded articles. The process is particularly useful for articles that include areas of flexure and point loading.
