Abstract
Abstract {PG,1 A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving is provided in which the multifilament roving is impregnated with a curable liquid having a tack less than about 6 (measured on a Thwing-Albert inkometer) in an amount at least sufficient to fill the spaces between the filaments in the roving, but not in excess of about a 3:2 ratio of curable liquid to fiber, by volume. This impregnated roving is way wound onto a cylinder to provide a crossing angle between the rovings in adjacent layers of at least about 10{20 {0 to provide free volume storage capacity between the angled rovings which accepts any liquid which may run off. In this manner the wet-impregnated roving can be stored wet in the way wound cylinder and easily withdrawn therefrom when needed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving comprising multifilament roving impregnated with a curable organic liquid having a tack less than about 6 on a Thwing-Albert inkometer, said roving containing said curable liquid in an amount at least sufficient to fill the spaces between the filaments in the roving, but not in excess of about a 3:2 ratio of curable liquid to fiber, by volume, said impregnated roving being way wound onto a cylinder to provide a crossing angle between the rovings in adjacent layers of at least about 10° to provide free volume storage capacity between the angled rovings to accept any of said liquid which may run off a roving, whereby said wet-impregnated roving can be easily withdrawn from the cylinder and said way wound cylinder being packaged within a liquid-impermeable wrapper.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving comprising multifilament roving impregnated with a curable organic liquid having a tack less than about 6 on a Thwing-Albert inkometer, said roving containing said curable liquid in an amount at least sufficient to fill the spaces between the filaments in the roving, but not in excess of about a 3:2 ratio of curable liquid to fiber, by volume, said impregnated roving being way wound onto a cylinder to provide a crossing angle between the rovings in adjacent layers of at least about 10° to provide free volume storage capacity between the angled rovings to accept any of said liquid which may run off a roving, whereby said wet-impregnated roving can be easily withdrawn from the cylinder and said way wound cylinder being packaged within a liquid-impermeable wrapper.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 1 in which said curable liquid has a room temperature viscosity of less than about 3000 centipoises.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 1 in which said curable liquid is curable with actinic light and said wrapper is opaque to actinic light.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 1 in which said wound cylinder is hollow to provide a center feed supply package.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 1 in which said curable liquid comprises a polyacrylate at least a portion of which has been adducted with a monosecondary aliphatic amine to produce an unsaturated adduct, and a ketonic photosensitizer rendering said liquid curable upon actinic light exposure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 5 in which said aliphatic amine is selected from diethyl amine and dibutyl amine and is used in an amount of from 0.5% to 5% of the polyacrylate in said curable liquid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
46 words
A supply package for wet-impregnated multifilament roving as recited in claim 1 in which the fibers of said roving are glass fibers and said liquid is used in an amount of from 22% to 35% of the total weight of liquid and glass in said roving.
