A method of manufacturing a composite molded body includes a first step of introducing an FRP base material into a mold via a slit part provided in the mold, and inserting the FRP base material along a mold cavity; and a second step of injecting a molten thermoplastic resin composition A into the mold cavity to form the FRP base material into a three-dimensional shape and integrate the injected thermoplastic resin composition A and the FRP base material. The method makes it possible to easily and accurately mold a composite molded body of which a desired portion is efficiently and accurately reinforced in the same mold.

Method of manufacturing composite molded body

A seat cushion frame for a vehicle, wherein the weight of the entire frame can be reduced as a result of changing the raw material to a resin; and to give a desired submarine prevention function to the front section of the frame, to greatly reduce the number of components of the frame, and to greatly simplify the entire structure, a C-shaped frame having a C-shaped planar shape opening to the rear side thereof includes a thermoplastic resin, and has a structure wherein the upper surface side of the front section of the C-shaped frame is formed into a surface intermittently extending in the seat width direction and the lower surface side thereof is formed into a surface continuously extending in the seat width direction.

Seat cushion frame for vehicle

A seat cushion frame for a vehicle includes a composite material containing reinforcing fibers which extend in at least the frame extension direction is integrated with an injection molded thermoplastic resin. The weight of the entire seat cushion frame can be greatly reduced, the rigidity and strength required for each section of the frame can be readily secured, required functions such as submarine prevention or the like, can be fulfilled, the number of components can be greatly reduced, and the overall structure can be greatly simplified.

A fiber-reinforced resin structure having a hole into which a connector that connects to another member is inserted, wherein a bearing strength at a part of an inside surface of the hole on which a load from the connector acts, represented by a stress at which displacement of the part of the inside surface of the hole starts increasing even without the load acting on the part of the inside surface of the hole from the connector increasing, is less than a breaking strength of a fiber-reinforced resin constituting that part of the structure.

Fiber-reinforced resin structure

An injection molded body includes a fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition formed by combining fibrous filler with thermoplastic resin so that the weight average fiber length in the injection molded body is 300 &#x3bc;m or more, and the injection molded body has a skin layer, a core layer and a skin layer in this order in the thickness direction. The thickness of the core layer, in which the primary orientation direction of the fibrous filler is 40&#xb0; or less when the direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the resin composition at the time of injection molding is set at 0&#xb0;, is 20% or less relatively to the thickness of the injection molded body.

A panel for a truck having an FRP plate including a woven fabric of reinforcing fiber as a main rigid member, a cargo compartment for a truck using the panel and a truck equipped with the cargo compartment for a truck. The panel and the cargo compartment are light, have sufficient rigidity and strength and excellent in processing and fabricating properties.

Panel and cargo compartment for a truck

A cargo container which has sufficient strength and rigidity. The container includes side walls, a roof and a base, wherein at least the side walls are made of FRP (fiber reinforced plastics) plates, and wherein adjacent two sides of the plates are made of an integrally formed continuous FRP panel. The cargo container is suited for use in an aircraft, ship, freight train or the like.
