2. Description of the Related Art A method of manufacturing a curved hollow pipe has been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-278614. In this manufacturing method, first, a flat plate extending in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is pressed in the height direction, thereby being curved in a plane formed by the vertical direction and the height direction, and in the horizontal direction and the height direction. A rough material having a mountain-shaped cross section is obtained in which both flange portions in a plane formed by the respective members extend downward in the height direction. Then, the rough shaped material is pressed from the height direction to obtain a bent rough shaped material in which both flange portions are bent in a direction approaching each other. Thereafter, a core formed by connecting a plurality of divided cores so as to be able to bend and extend by a link is put into a bent rough material, and the both flanges are brought into contact with each other by bending the both flanges in this state. Obtained curved hollow pipe. When extracting a core from the inside of the obtained curved hollow pipe, each of the divided cores is sequentially extracted from the hollow opening side while bending and extending.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional manufacturing method, the core must be removed from the opening side, so that it is not possible to manufacture a curved hollow pipe having an irregular cross section.
Further, in this manufacturing method, a core having a large number of parts formed by connecting a plurality of divided cores so as to be able to bend and stretch must be employed, and after the core is placed in a bent coarse shaped material, a curved hollow is formed. Since a mechanism for taking in and out from the pipe is also required, complicated equipment causes an increase in manufacturing cost.

[0005] In particular, in the above-mentioned conventional manufacturing method, since the first and second flange portions are respectively extended downward in the height direction, the curved hollow pipe is hardly bent in a complicated manner. In this case, the cores must be connected by complicated links. For this reason, the core becomes large and it becomes more difficult to remove the core from the opening. In addition, this makes the core and the loading / unloading mechanism more complicated, which leads to a further increase in manufacturing cost.

According to the manufacturing method of the first aspect, first, as a rough forming step, a flat plate is pressed from a third direction. Accordingly, a rough section having a mountain-shaped cross section that curves in a plane formed by the first direction and the third direction and extends in a direction in which both flange portions in a plane formed by the second direction and the third direction are away from each other. Obtain a profile. At this time, since the two flanges are sandwiched by the molding die, the other parts are easily deformed. Therefore, a more complicated bending than in the case where the both flanges are extended in the third direction as in the related art. It is possible to give a shape.

Then, as a bending step, the rough material is pressed from a third direction. Thereby, a bent rough shaped material having a mountain-shaped cross section in which both flange portions are bent substantially parallel to the third direction is obtained.
At this time, since the curved shape has already been given in the rough forming step, even if the rough material has a complicated curved shape,
Both flanges can be easily deformed. After that, it is preferable to bend the two flanges in a direction approaching each other as in the related art, for the final abutment of the two flanges.

Next, as a contacting step, the bent rough material is pressed from a third direction. In this way, a curved hollow pipe is obtained in which the flanges are guided into the recesses of the mold while the other parts are restrained by the mold, and the flanges are brought into contact with each other.
Therefore, according to this manufacturing method, it is possible to manufacture a complicatedly curved hollow pipe without employing a core. Since the curved hollow pipe obtained by this is all formed by press working, there is no limitation in the cross-sectional shape such as employing a core. Also, when manufacturing a curved hollow pipe, the number of parts can be reduced and the insertion / removal mechanism can be omitted, and press work from the same direction with a relatively simple mold is sufficient. Cost reduction is realized.

Therefore, according to this manufacturing method, it is possible to manufacture a complicatedly curved curved hollow pipe P without employing a core. Since the curved hollow pipes P obtained by this are all formed by press working, there is no limitation on the cross-sectional shape such as employing a core. In manufacturing the curved hollow pipe P, reduction in the number of parts and omission of the insertion / removal mechanism are realized, and the first to fourth molding dies 3, which are relatively simple,
Since it is sufficient to perform press working from 6, 9, and 12 in the same direction, the manufacturing cost of the curved hollow pipe P can be reduced.

A hollow L-shaped suspension arm can be manufactured. Although the cross-sectional shape of the curved hollow pipe P according to the embodiment is a true circle or a rectangle, the length of the both flange portions E 1 and E 2 in the y direction and the curvature of the cross-sectional mountain shape are adjusted, and the curvature of the bending axis S is adjusted. It is also possible to manufacture a curved hollow pipe having an elliptical cross section, a race track shape, or the like by adjusting.
