Process to produce enveloped fiberglass product

Claim 1

A process for producing a laminated and enveloped fiberglass sandwiched product of irregular topography, said product having every internal and external edge terminating in a lipped and enveloped boundary to thereby totally enclose said fiberglass, said process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first press including a heated mold; (b) feeding a fibrous fiberglass blank mat into said first press; (c) simultaneously pressing and heat molding said fibeglassmat into a predetermined shape of irregular topography; (d) trimming excess fiberglass to produce a semi-final, molded workpiece with an irregular shape; (e) providing two sheets of polyester facing fabric including a thermoset binder, one fabric surface including thermoset adhesive; (f) placing said trimmed fiberglass workpiece between said two sheets of facing fabric, one said sheet on the top of said workpiece, said other fabric sheet on the bottom of said trimmed workpiece, both said sheets' thermoset adhesive surfaces facing said work piece and each other; (g) providing a second press, said second press including a second heated mold having a similar configuration as said first mold and including generally an oversized circumferential mold area to allow for edge binding compression of said fabric edges; (h) feeding said trimmed workpiece and said fabric sheets together into said second press; (i) heat pressure molding said fabric and workpiece to produce a laminated fiberglass to fabric workpiece including a fabric to fabric edged lip whereby said workpiece, including each and every fiberglass edge is enveloped by said fabric; and, (j) trimming excess fabric to produce thereby a product with fabric surrounding all fiberglass surfaces with no fiberglass edges or surfaces exposed.
