Patent ID: 8454876

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a fiber composite (FC) parison out of a laminate with a total of at least two dry fibrous tissue layers, which is held together with at least one of binders and prepreg layers, the method comprising the following steps: angling at least one of: (i) a first edge section of the laminate with respect to a central section of the laminate such that the first edge section extends transversely from the central section and a first curved section lies at a junction between such sections, which causes the layers to be offset in relation to one another, and (ii) an opposing second edge section of the laminate with respect to the central section such that the second edge section extends transversely from the central section and a second curved section lies between such sections and further causes the layers to be offset in relation to one another, mounting at least one of: (i) the first edge section of the laminate in a first clamping device and, (ii) the second edge section of the laminate in a second clamping device, providing a fitting having a central surface and at least one of: a first lateral surface extending transversely, from a first curved surface, away from the central surface, and an opposing second lateral surface extending transversely, from a first curved surface, away from the central surface, orienting the central section of the laminate over the central surface of the fitting such that the first edge section of the laminate is spaced away from the first lateral surface of the fitting and the first curved section is spaced away from the first curved surface of the fitting, and exerting a tensile stress to the laminate by moving at least one of the first clamping device and the second clamping device relative to the fitting in a predetermined direction, so that the first curved surface of the fitting imparts a first curvature to the central section of the laminate and the first curved section of the laminate is straightened, wherein clamping forces in the first and second clamping device are high enough to prevent the laminate layers from sliding relative to each other, thereby maintaining the offset layers within the laminate introduced by the angling step.
