Patent ID: 6863729

Claim:
An assembly for producing reinforced thermoplastic materials comprising: an injection molding die having an outer wall having an outer surface an input end, an output end, a linear bore having a linear longitudinal axis extending between said input end and said output end, a septum wall bifurcating said bore defining two separate flow channels within said bore, said septum wall having a trailing edge wherein said injection molding die further comprising a fiber feed tube extending through said septum wall with an input end on the on the outer surface and an output end on the interior of said bore centrally located on said trailing edge of said septum wall; and means for injecting a pressurized flow of molten polymer material into said injection molding die such that said pressurized flow of molten polymer is deposited on a continuous strand of fiber reinforcing guided by said fiber feed tube through said injection molding die thereby producing a reinforced thermoplastic material.
