Claims
- 1. A plastic-made reinforced structure comprising a plate made of a thermoplastic resin and at least one cylindrical hollow rib made of the same resin as that of said plate, connected to at least one side of said plate perpendicularly to the side so that the plate and at least one rib form one piece, in which structure the following relationships hold:
- 8.gtoreq. d.sub.1 .gtoreq.20 mm,
- 0.98>d.sub.1 /d.sub.2 .gtoreq.0.7,
- H.gtoreq.30 mm,
- 1.gtoreq.d.sub.1 /H.gtoreq.0.5, and
- 1>t.sub.1 /t.sub.2 .gtoreq.0.4 [>0.3]
- wherein d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 are the inside and outside diameters of each rib at the root of the rib, i.e., the joint of the rib to the plate; H is the length of each rib from the root to the front end; and t.sub.1 and t.sub.2 are the rib thicknesses at the front end and at the root; and wherein said thermoplastic resin is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, [PMMA] polymethyl methacrylate, [ABS] acrylonitrile-butadiene-stylene copolymer resin, mixtures between one of said resins and a rubber component, and mixtures thereof.
- 2. A plastic-made reinforced structure according to claim 1, wherein the d.sub.1 is as follows:
- 60.gtoreq.d.sub.1 .gtoreq.20 mm.
