Patent ID: 8083976

Claim:
A device within the aeronautical and aerospace fields, comprising: rollers configured to deform a preliminary fabric made of a dry fiber material provided at a deformation zone of the device; a first and second tool, at least one of the first or second tool comprising at least one matrix feed channel for impregnating the deformed preliminary fabric with a matrix, the matrix feed channel being branched for an even distribution of the matrix; and a guide that guides the first and second tools in such a way that the tools press the preliminary fabric deformed in the deformation zone and arranged in a pressing zone of the device along a second axis as the deformed preliminary fabric moves along a first axis through the pressing zone, said second axis being substantially transverse to the first axis, to form a consolidated preliminary fabric; wherein the guide guides the first and second tools substantially parallel to one another, in part, along the first axis in the pressing zone, and wherein in the pressing zone the first and second tools define a gap for receiving the deformed preliminary fabric, said gap having a substantially constant, in particular Ω-, U-, T-, and/or L-shaped cross-section extending along the first axis.
