<p>There is provided a process for producing a tube member made of fiber-reinforced resin in which it is unnecessary to fold back an end portion of a fiber layer impregnated with uncured resin, and which is capable of joining a tube member, which comprises a resin fiber, and a flanged tube material, which is to be directly rigidly coupled with an engine box or the like, while maintaining the fiber orientation in the initial orientation posture and through an extremely simple process as well. In the process, there is provided a base member 10 comprising a mandrel 1, and an end portion attachment member 2 that is attached to one end thereof and that has a protrusion and a wide diameter portion of a wider diameter as compared to the mandrel. A fiber impregnated with uncured resin is hoop wound around the outer circumference of the mandrel 1 to form a first wound layer 3. A fiber is further helically wound around the outer circumference thereof to form a second wound layer 4. An end portion of the second wound layer 4 is severed, and the end portion and the end portion attachment member 2 are severed off from the mandrel 1 to form an insertion space 7. A flanged tube material 6 is inserted into the insertion space 7. A fiber is hoop wound around the outer circumference of the second wound layer 4 to form a third wound layer 5, and a heat treatment is performed.</p> |
