A method for joining members according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: providing a bumper stay including two integrated pipe portions extending in an identical direction, the bumper stay including a recess provided between the pipe portions being adjacent to each other, the recess extending in a longitudinal direction of the pipe portions from end surfaces of the pipe portions, a part of the recess serving as a locking portion, and a bumper beam including a rear inclined wall formed with two hole portions into which the pipe portions of the bumper stay are insertable respectively; inserting the bumper stay into the hole portions of the bumper beam until the locking portion abuts on the rear inclined wall; and pipe-expanding an insertion portion of the bumper stay into the bumper beam to join the insertion portion to the bumper beam by press-fitting.

A coil unit is inserted into a tube member, an electromagnetic-forming coil part is arranged at a tube member forming position, a coil-side terminal is connected to a power-supply-side terminal of an end part of a high-voltage power supply cable, the electromagnetic-forming coil part is energized by a power supply part to electromagnetically form the tube member, the coil-side terminal and the power-supply-side terminal are separated, and the coil unit is removed from the tube member. Thus, the tube member can be separated from the high-voltage power supply cable during transport.

Provided is an electrical dust-collecting filter manufacturing method and an electrical dust-collecting filter. The method includes the steps of: preparing a frame body, a dust-collecting electrode, a discharge electrode, and a discharge frame; assembling the dust-collecting electrode into an assembly hole of the frame body; connecting the discharge frame to the frame body via an insulating member; and arranging the discharge electrode in an axial direction inside the dust-collecting electrode via the discharge frame and fixing the same. The dust-collecting electrode assembling step includes: temporarily elastically deforming the dust-collecting electrode in the radial direction and inserting the same into the assembly hole of the frame body; and pressurizing end parts of both ends of the dust collecting electrode, which protrude out of a plate member when fitted into the assembly hole, in the axial direction such that the end parts are compressed against the surface of the plate member.

A vehicle structural member includes an elongate hollow member having an integrated structure, and supporting members joined to the elongate hollow member. The elongate hollow member includes: a first portion that includes a first pipe, a second pipe disposed outside the first pipe and extending along the first pipe, and a connection portion extending along the first pipe and the second pipe, formed integrally with the first pipe and the second pipe, and connecting the first pipe and the second pipe; and a second portion that includes the first pipe continuing from the first portion, and does not include the second pipe.

In a joining method for members, a tube body having a center axis L, a wall surface body having a hole portion through which the tube body can be inserted, and an elastic body that can be inserted in the tube body are prepared. The tube body has an inner rib extending in a direction of the center axis so as to partition an inside thereof, and the inner rib has notches cut from a lower end of the inner rib in the direction of the center axis. Next, the tube body is inserted through the hole portion in the wall surface body, and the elastic body is inserted into internal spaces partitioned by the inner rib of the tube body. Furthermore, the elastic body is compressed in the direction of the center axis of the tube body and expanded outward in a radial direction with respect to the center axis, whereby an end of the tube body is expanded and deformed to be joined to the wall surface body by press-fitting.
