Abstract
On joining a fibre-reinforced plastic part, such as a plastic fibre-reinforced robot arm, to a functional element such as a gear, as a result of the flow characteristics of the plastic in the case of a high pressing action or high pressures, the joints are no longer stable or resistant and instead tend to loosen. To obviate this problem, the invention provides a fibre-reinforced plastic part, in which several metallic parts ( ) engage through at least one fibre-reinforced shoulder ( ). On one side of the shoulder or shoulders ( ) is provided at least one metallic abutment ( ) engaging over several metallic parts ( ) and a functional element ( ) is braced from the opposite side of the shoulder or shoulders ( ) with the abutment ( ) against the front ends ( ), facing the latter, of metallic parts ( ).
