Patent ID: 7402268

Claim:
A process for manufacturing a composite profile based on a thermoplastic organic material reinforced by reinforcing fibres, including making a multiplicity of continuous reinforcing yarns come into contact with a thermoplastic organic material and shaping the composite profile, comprising: bringing together continuous yarns based on continuous glass fibres and on a first thermoplastic to be parallel and forming at least one consolidated tape by heating the continuous yarns, wherein in the at least one tape glass fibres are impregnated with the first thermoplastic; and introducing the at least one tape into a first cavity of a die and simultaneously introducing at least one second molten thermoplastic organic material into a second cavity of the die, wherein the second cavity is separated from the first cavity by at least one frustoconical guide, the frustoconical guide includes a restriction portion configured to prevent backflow of the second molten thermoplastic organic material into the first cavity, thereby causing the second molten thermoplastic organic material to come into contact with and fuse to at least a top and bottom portion of the at least one tape in the second cavity; and outputting a second tape having a profile of at least one second thermoplastic organic material reinforced by the at least one tape.
