CONNECTING ROD MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a connection lever made of a composite material having a structure which makes it possible to utilize the properties of the composite material sufficiently and to produce a lot of connection levers easily and promptly. CONSTITUTION: A connection lever A is formed out of a composite material containing a reinforcer embedded in a cured matrix and has a middle barrel part B arranged along the longitudinal axis X-X, and a large end part C and a small end part D are extended from both ends of the barrel part B. The connection lever, as a whole, is produced as a single element formed from a composite material. The reinforcer is composed of a thread layer comprising crossing linear packing threads and binding threads penetrating the thread layer. The packing threads extending in parallel with the longitudinal axis X-X of the lever A have a volume percentage at least twice as large as that of the threads extending in directions excluding the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lever A.
