Various types of thermosetting or room temperature curable resins are known, and for example, epoxy-based, urethane-based, polyester-based, and vinyl ester-based resins are common. These are usually available as compositions by combining curing agents and resins. In the case of this type of composition, it may be coated onto the internal pressure retaining body by a method such as coating. Further, this resin may be a prepreg. Prepreg is made by impregnating continuous fibers such as glass or carbon, woven fabric, or mat with a mixture of thermosetting plastic and a hardening agent as a reinforcing agent, and then leaving it in a semi-dry state to lose its tackiness. It refers to something that has been adjusted. After the internal pressure holding body is coated with this prepreg,
Alternatively, the prepreg may be cured by introducing hot air into the holder. Further, as a heating method, the mold may be directly heated while applying internal pressure.

Rim molding refers to reaction injection molding, and in the case of the present invention, an internal pressure retaining body is placed in a mold, high temperature air is introduced into the internal pressure retaining body to harden the thermosetting or room temperature hardening coating, and then the metal is molded. This is a method in which a reactive monomer is introduced into a mold and reacted at room temperature or at an elevated temperature. The resin obtained by limit molding may be any conventional resin such as polyurethane or polyamide. The rim molding composition suitable for the present invention is UBE nylon (UX-
21).

In the present invention, reinforcing fibers may be arranged between the internal pressure holding body and the mold. Any reinforcing fibers commonly used in fiber-reinforced plastics may be used. Typical examples of reinforcing fibers include aramid fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, and the like.
The most preferred reinforcing fiber is carbon fiber. The fibers may be in any form and may be braided or unbraided.

According to the present invention, a nonwoven fabric layer may be further provided between the mold and the reinforcing fibers to improve the appearance of the product. Non-woven fabrics that can be used are glass fiber paper,
Examples include carbon fiber paper, polyester nonwoven fabric, and nylon nonwoven fabric. This non-woven fabric has a fiber density of 2 to 35 Vol to ensure proper flow of rim fluid.
%, preferably 5 to 20 Vol%. If the fiber density is greater than 35 Vol%, it will be difficult for the resin to penetrate and the appearance will be poor.
If it is less than 2Vol%, the flexibility of the nonwoven fabric will be too sparse, and even if a nonwoven fabric layer is provided as the outermost layer of the carbon fiber braid layer, there will be places where the lower braid layer will come into direct contact with the mold wall, or the nonwoven fabric layer will The resistance when the rim liquid flows becomes extremely small, and the rim liquid preferentially penetrates into the nonwoven fabric layer rather than the carbon fiber braid layer, which has higher flow resistance, and becomes difficult to penetrate into the carbon fiber braid layer. Also, woven cloth may be used as long as the fiber density is within this range.

According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, a thermosetting or room temperature curing resin is applied to the internal pressure holding body. In the case of prepreg, it is wound around an internal pressure holding body or the prepreg itself is used as the internal pressure holding body. The obtained internal pressure-retaining body is wrapped with reinforcing fibers and nonwoven fabric if necessary, and placed in a mold. High temperature air is introduced into the internal pressure holding body to harden the thermosetting resin at the same time as it fits into the mold. In the case of a room-temperature curing resin, the above procedure is quickly carried out and room-temperature air is introduced. After curing, a rim-forming monomer is introduced between the internal pressure holding body and the mold by a conventional method to perform molding.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the internal pressure holding body or the outside thereof is cured with resin in advance, deformation due to pressure does not occur, unlike when the tube is filled with air.
Defects such as uneven thickness hardly occur. Further, if the thermosetting or room temperature curing resin is cured by introducing high temperature air into the internal pressure holding body, the precision of the wall thickness can be improved by fitting the mold shape.
Also, the tube is not required to have heat resistance or chemical resistance. The method of the present invention is particularly suitable for sports products such as tennis rackets and golf club shafts, which require high accuracy in wall thickness.
