Abstract
A method of producing a bent rod includes impregnating fibers () with resin (), introducing the impregnated fibers into a flexible plastic tube (), bringing the flexible plastic tube to a desired bent form and crosslinking the resin with the fibers to produce the rod with the desired bent shape. The flexible plastic tube is formed from a material that has a very low friction coefficient and the flexible plastic tube remains in its position after the crosslinking to permit sliding movement of the bent rod relative to an adjacent structure.
