PURPOSE: To obtain a tough and lightweight fiber reinforced molded article having a beautiful surface by laminating a specific number of reinforcing fiber fabric materials so as to closely bond them to the rear surface of a transparent resin layer to form a reinforcing fiber layer and applying a fixing resin to the surface of the reinforcing fiber layer to infiltrate the same into the fiber layer before curing.
CONSTITUTION: A transparent resin is molded into a desired shape by usual thermal molding to form a transparent resin layer 2. Next, a specific number of reinforcing fiber fabric materials having a slightly large area are laminated by using a jig so as to be closely bonded to the rear surface of the transparent resin layer 2 to form a reinforcing fiber layer 3. Subsequently, a room temp. curable fixing resin is applied to the surface of the reinforcing fiber layer 3 to be infiltrated into the fiber layer 3 and the impregnated fiber layer is allowed to stand at room temp. for a predetermined time to be cured to form a fixing resin layer 4. Thereafter, the reinforcing fiber fabric material layer protruding from the outer edge of the transparent resin layer 2 is cut and the edge part thereof is ground by sand paper to complete a fiber reinforced molded article 1.
