| 20110169189 | APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A VACUUM MOLDED FIBERGLASS SERVICE BODY - A process for making a fiberglass service body. The process includes first providing a mold body having a flange extending around an outside periphery of the mold body. Next, the mold body is coated with a gel-coat layer. At least one layer of fiberglass is then placed onto the mold over the gel-coat layer. The next step is to place a cover over the mold body to completely cover the fiberglass. Breather strips are then inserted around the outside periphery of the mold body, a plenum is placed onto the mold flange, and a vacuum is attached to the plenum. Once a resin is injected through the cover into the fiberglass, the fiberglass is cured under vacuum before the fiberglass service body is removed from the mold. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20080217811 | METHOD OF RECYCLING FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PLASTICS - A method of recycling fiberglass reinforced plastics. The steps include grinding used fiber reinforced plastic material such as scraps with a grinder into a predetermined length to form a grinded reinforced plastic material. The grinded reinforced material is then mixed with a mixing agent to form a composite material that is heated in order to cure the composite material to form a panel. | 09-11-2008 |
