Introduction

Roman Minor is an inventor associated with Laumersheim, Germany, and BASF Aktiengesellschaft. His work includes inventions for manufacturing structural components from laminated tape and for molding plastic materials. He holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Minor’s patent, “Apparatus for Fabricating Structural Components from Laminated Tape,” describes equipment for continuously and mechanically producing structural components from layered tape sections, including fiber-composite materials. A movable support plate travels synchronously alongside the tape material, while a cutting mechanism and a depositing and stacking unit coordinate the cutting and placement of the sections.

His patent, “Press Tool for Plastic Moldings,” concerns tools for processing plastics, particularly fiber-reinforced plastics, into molded parts. The tool has upper and lower sections that connect to a press and form a basic unit with drive elements. Replaceable mold-defining parts are held and guided within that unit.
