Abstract

In a method for producing fiber-reinforced plastic parts in a mold and an adhesive layer for carrying out the method, the adhesive layer adhesive force on the mold is greater than the adhesive layer adhesive force on the segment, so that, after a first segment is removed, the adhesive layer remains completely in the mold and after the temperature of the adhesive layer is increased through contact with a melted plastic matrix, the remaining adhesive force is sufficient to adhere at least a second segment. The adhesive layer, introduced into the mold relatively expensively, and removed from the mold and disposed of at further expense, is used repeatedly, not just for a single adhesion operation. The expense for procuring the adhesive layer, its introduction into the mold, removal and disposal remains but through its division over numerous production operations, the total expenditure proportion for each operation decreases dramatically.

Claims (12)

1. A method for producing fiber-reinforced plastic parts in a mold, the method comprising:

fixing a first segment of a first flexible strip made of fiber-plastic composite material to a surface of the mold using an adhesive layer between the first segment and the mold, wherein the adhesive layer is spaced apart from all peripheral edges of the first segment and the adhesive force of the adhesive layer on the mold is greater than the adhesive force of the adhesive layer on the first segment,

lifting the first segment off the mold, the adhesive layer remaining completely in the mold after the first segment has been lifted off,

heating the adhesive layer by contact of the first segment with a melted plastic matrix,

and after the heating of the adhesive layer, adhering at least a second segment of a second flexible strip made of fiber-plastic composite material to the surface of the mold using the remaining adhesive force of the adhesive layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

locating the adhesive layer on a carrier foil and introducing the adhesive layer on the carrier foil into the mold, wherein the adhesive layer on the carrier foil has an adhesive power low enough for the carrier foil to act as a mechanical carrier for the adhesive layer during introduction of the adhesive layer on the carrier foil into the mold, and

pulling the carrier foil off the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer hereby remaining at least for the most part in the mold.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising locating the adhesive layer on the first segment and introducing the adhesive layer on the first segment into the mold.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive layer is covered by a protective foil prior to introduction of the adhesive layer on the first segment into the mold.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer covers only part of the area of the first segment.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after the first segment has been lifted off, a cleaning compound is injected into the mold, wherein the adhesive layer builds an adhesive force to the cleaning compound that is higher than the adhesive force between the adhesive layer and the mold.
