Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method and apparatus ( 14 a ) for winding a section of each of one or more layers of material ( 18 a ) around a mandrel ( 30 ) and about a longitudinal axis of the mandrel ( 30 ), wherein each layer of material ( 18 a ) includes fibers and the winding is performed such that, for the wound section of each layer of material ( 18 a ), each of a majority of the fibers is angularly disposed relative to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel ( 30 ), and: (1) disposing a tape ( 82 ) over the layer(s) of material ( 18 a ) such that at least a portion of the tape ( 82 ) overlies at least a portion of the wound section of each layer of material ( 18 a ) and a long dimension of the portion of the tape ( 82 ) is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel ( 30 ); and/or (2) spot-joining adjacent sections of the wound section(s) together.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of any of  claim 1 - 3  or  5 , wherein:\n the one or more layers of material comprises a first layer of material and a second layer of material; \n the winding is performed such that a side edge of the first layer of material is beside a side edge of the second layer of material; and \n the spot-joining is performed such that the first layer of material is spot-joined to the second layer of material.
