Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a process for preparing a body of a rocket propulsion unit comprising a rubber wall forming a chamber which contains a propergol and an outer wall forming reinforcement, characterized in that the following steps are carried out: the rubber chamber is coated with an adhesive agent, the whole is baked at a temperature higher than about 100° C., the propergol is introduced into the chamber, the outer wall is made by depositing impregnated fibers around the chamber and polymerization at a temperature lower than about 100° C.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
A process for preparing a rocket propulsion unit body which includes a rubber wall chamber containing a mixture of solid fuel and oxidant and provided with an outer reinforcing wall comprising the steps of: coating the outer surface of a rubber chamber with a primer; baking said primer coated rubber chamber at a temperature above about 100° C. to cure the primer and to vulcanize the rubber; introducing a mixture of solid fuel and oxidant into said baked chamber; coating the outer side of said chamber with a resin provided with reinforcing fibers; and polymerizing said resin at a temperature below about 100° C., said temperature being insufficient to effect curing of said primer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 114 words
A process for preparing a rocket propulsion unit body which includes a rubber wall chamber containing a mixture of solid fuel and oxidant and provided with an outer reinforcing wall comprising the steps of: coating the outer surface of a rubber chamber with a primer; baking said primer coated rubber chamber at a temperature above about 100° C. to cure the primer and to vulcanize the rubber; introducing a mixture of solid fuel and oxidant into said baked chamber; coating the outer side of said chamber with a resin provided with reinforcing fibers; and polymerizing said resin at a temperature below about 100° C., said temperature being insufficient to effect curing of said primer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said primer is compatible with said rubber and said resin is bondable to said baked primer.
