Abstract
Abstract The present invention concerns a process for a thin sheet molding of a thermoplastic resin easily and economically and also the thin oriented sheet molding prepared by such a process. Its specific feature resides in the steps of lubricating the inner surface of die, laying over one another thermoplastic resin blanks while being not adhered to each other in a die, compressing the layered structure at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin blanks and separating the oriented molded products from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A process for molding an oriented molding by compressing thermoplatic resin blanks in a compression die, comprising the steps of: 1. placing two or more layers of thermoplastic resin blanks layered without being adhered to each other; 2. lubricating the inner surface of the die; 3. orienting the resin blank by compression at a temperature higher than the glass transition point of said resin blanks; and 4. taking out the molded products after setting from the die and peeling the oriented moldings from each other to give two or more moldings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A process for molding an oriented molding by compressing thermoplatic resin blanks in a compression die, comprising the steps of: 1. placing two or more layers of thermoplastic resin blanks layered without being adhered to each other; 2. lubricating the inner surface of the die; 3. orienting the resin blank by compression at a temperature higher than the glass transition point of said resin blanks; and 4. taking out the molded products after setting from the die and peeling the oriented moldings from each other to give two or more moldings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic resin is an acrylic resin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic is selected from among polystyrene, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride, polyetherimide, polyvinyl alcohol, polycarbonate, polyester, nylon, polyphenylenether, polyoxymethylene, polyethylene and polypropylene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the thermoplastic resin contains at least one reinforcing material of glass fiber, mica and asbestos.
