Zusammenfassung:Pultrusion apparatus and tongue-in-groove die is provided for the fabrication of thermoplastic tape containing long fiber reinforcement. The tongue-in-groove die includes a first mold half having a groove and a pair of protruding wall portions which form sidewalls for the groove, and a second mold half having a tongue to match the groove. The second mold half is juxtaposed with respect to the first mold half so as to define a wedge-shaped passage between the tongue and the groove which has an inlet and an outlet and which converges from the inlet to the outlet. The tongue-in-groove die further includes a mechanism for adjusting the inlet and outlet clearances between the tongue and groove at the inlet and outlet respectively.
