The reinforcement instrument 1 may include: a reinforcement sleeve integrally formed with a flange which is screwed with the existing bolt to pinch an overlapped portion of the members, between the flange and the head part of the existing bolt; and a lock nut screwed with the shaft part of the existing bolt to abut on the reinforcement sleeve. |
