Hockey-stick manufacture

Реферат: HOCKEY STICK MANUFACTURE ABSTRACT The method disclosed is for making hollow-handled sticks in fibre-reinforced plastic. The method is to mould the stick handle in moulds that run the full length of the handle. The moulds comprise a core and a channel. A resin-and-fibre mat is squeezed between the core and the channel. The hollow handle can be formed either by glueing two U-shaped components (15,16) together one inside the other or by wrapping the mat (27) around a mandrel (24), in which case the mandrel is withdrawn lengthwise after curing. The stick blade (29) may itself be inserted in the channel (25) in which case the mat of the handle may be arranged to enwrap the blade.
