See full text

A fiber reinforced composite member molding apparatus including a lower mold with a cavity, an upper mold with a core for clamping layered prepreg to the cavity, cartridge heaters for heating the layered prepreg via the lower mold and the upper mold, and cooling medium passages for cooling the layered prereg via the lower mold and the upper mold, the lower mold and the upper mold being brought nearer to each other according to shrinkage of thermoplastic resin contained in the layered prereg during cooling, further includes pins moved into and out of the cavity, cylinders for moving the pins into and out of the cavity, and a controller for causing the pins to project into the cavity to come into contact with and apply pressure to the layered prepreg during cooling. The apparatus can mold a fiber reinforced composite member without producing delamination in a thicker end portion of the layered prepreg without an increase in molding time.
