Abstract
A first member provided with a hole, a second member having a tubular shape, and a composite elastic body obtained by combining at least two types of elastic bodies having different hardness are prepared, the second member is inserted into the hole of the first member, the composite elastic body is inserted into the second member, and the composite elastic body is pressed to cause the second member to bulge out, thereby joining the first member and the second member by press-fitting.

A method for joining members, the method comprising:
- preparing a first member provided with a hole, a second member having a tubular shape, and a composite elastic body obtained by combining at least two types of elastic bodies having different hardness;
- inserting the second member into the hole of the first member;
- inserting the composite elastic body into the second member;
- and
- pressing the composite elastic body to cause the second member to bulge out, thereby joining the first member and the second member by press-fitting.
A composite elastic body disposed in a second member and pressed in a state where the second member is inserted into a hole of a first member, the composite elastic body causing the second member to bulge out, to join the first member provided with the hole and the second member having a tubular shape by press-fitting, the composite elastic body comprising at least two types of elastic bodies having different hardness.
