Abstract
A bracket includes a cylindrical portion and a plate-shaped portion that are integrally formed. The cylindrical portion is provided at one end side of a blank along one direction and is provided with a slit extending over an entire length of the cylindrical portion in the one direction as a result of forming a portion at the one end side of the blank along the one direction into a cylindrical shape extending in the one direction. The plate-shaped portion is provided at the other end side of the blank along the one direction. The cylindrical portion of the bracket is inserted in the cylindrical body member formed of an aluminum alloy material, and the body member and the cylindrical portion are clinched by electromagnetic tube compression.
Claims12
A connecting member of a structure, comprising:
- a cylindrical body member formed of a nonmagnetic material;
- and
- a bracket including a cylindrical portion and a plate-shaped portion that are integrally formed, the cylindrical portion being provided at one end side of a plate material along one direction and being provided with a slit extending over an entire length of the cylindrical portion in the one direction as a result of forming a portion at the one end side of the plate material along the one direction into a cylindrical shape extending in the one direction, the plate-shaped portion being provided at the other end side of the plate material along the one direction,
- wherein at least one of two inner sides at corresponding end portions of the body member has inserted therein the cylindrical portion of the bracket, and the cylindrical portion and the body member are clinched by electromagnetic tube compression.
A connecting member of a structure, comprising:
- a cylindrical body member formed of a nonmagnetic material;
- and
- a bracket including a plate material and at least one reinforcing rib that is joined to a surface of the plate material,
- wherein at least one of two inner sides at corresponding end portions of the body member has inserted therein a portion of the bracket to which the at least one reinforcing rib is joined so that a direction of extension of the at least one reinforcing rib is along a direction of extension of the body member, and the body member and a portion of the bracket inserted in the body member are clinched by electromagnetic tube compression.
A connecting member of a structure, comprising:
- a cylindrical body member formed of a nonmagnetic material;
- and
- a bracket including a plate material and at least one reinforcing rib that is joined to a surface of the plate material,
- wherein the plate material is bent so that part of a portion of the plate material to which the reinforcing rib is joined has a bend line extending in a direction that crosses a direction of extension of the at least one reinforcing rib, and
- wherein at least one of two inner sides at corresponding end portions of the body member has inserted therein a portion of the bracket to which the at least one reinforcing rib is joined so that the direction of extension of the at least one reinforcing rib is along a direction of extension of the body member, and the body member and a portion of the bracket inserted in the body member are clinched by electromagnetic tube compression.
