PREFORM FOR MOLDING FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN BEAM, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN BEAM

摘要

A preform for the molding of a fiber-reinforced resin beam, the preform comprising: a reinforcing-fiber beam which has been formed from a reinforcing-fiber base made up of many reinforcing fibers and has a cross-sectional shape comprising at least one linear part and at least one curved part connected to the linear part; and a release sheet bonded and united through an adhesive resin to at least part of a surface of the reinforcing-fiber base along the lengthwise direction for the base. Also provided is a process for producing a preform for fiber-reinforced resin beam molding which comprises: a step in which a continuous flat reinforcing-fiber base having a release sheet bonded and united to a surface thereof is shaped so that the cross-sectional shape of the base comes to have a curved part to thereby produce a preshaped object; and a preshaped-object uniting step in which the preshaped object is bonded and united to another preshaped object.
