Reinforcing member.

摘要

A reinforcing member (1) includes a reinforcing resin layer (2) which is elastic in its semihardened or unhardened state before the reinforcing member (1) is applied to an object (A) to be reinforced and which is rigid in its hardened state; an expandable member (3) centered along the reinforcing resin layer (2); the expandable member (3) being narrower than the reinforcing resin layer (2); the expandable member (3) being elastic at least before the reinforcing member (2) is applied to the object (A); the expandable member (3) being expandable to form a bead-like projection (23) before the reinforcing resin layer (2) hardens; the reinforcing resin layer (2) having its edge portions (21) extending beyond the expandable member (3); the underside (22) of the edge portions (21) thereof being adapted to adhere to the object (A).
