Abstract

PURPOSE: To enhance the strength of a frame connection which uses a lug made of a light alloy and a pipe made of FRP by interposing a collar of a material with a specific coefficient of linear expansion between the lug and a frame, and bonding them together. CONSTITUTION: At the connection between a head upper lug 1 made of die-cast aluminum and an upper pipe 2 made of FRP composed chiefly of carbon fibers, a cylinder part 11 for connecting a pipe 2 is molded integrally with the lug 1. The pipe 2 is fitted over the cylinder part 11 via a collar 3, and the collar 3, the cylinder part 11, and the pipe 2 are bonded together via an adhesive 4. The collar 3 is almost equal in outside diameter to the cylinder part 11 and formed in such a way that a folded part 31 covering the end face of the pipe 2 is provided at its end facing the lug 1. The collar 3 is formed of a material with a coefficient of linear expansion of 10×10<-6> -13×10<-6> , preferably stainless steel.
