<p>An apparatus (10) for fabricating fiber reinforced plastic structures is disclosed. In detail, the apparatus includes a mold surface (14) upon which can be supported a lay-up (16) of one or more layers (16A, 16B, 16C, 16D) of a fibrous material, and over which can be placed a fluid impervious outer sheet (26) with an inlet port (28) and having its edges (30) marginally sealed (32) upon the mold surface (14) to form a chamber (34). A vacuum outlet (35) is connected to the chamber (34) for drawing a vacuum therefrom. A resin distribution system (20) is positioned between the lay-up (16) and the fluid impervious sheet (26). The resin distribution system (20) includes a distribution sheet (40) for receiving resin from the inlet port (28) and at least one flat resin distribution line (42) connected to the inlet port (28).</p> |
