Method of joining a steerer tube to a composite fork body as a manufacturing process of a motorcycle fork

摘要

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention is a technique for effectively and integrally joining a steerer tube and a fork body made of a composite material as a manufacturing method of a motorcycle fork using a composite material.;Holes in both sides of the bottom of the steerer tube were perforated to allow the prepreg layer to pass through and to join the prepreg in the bulk body area. As a result of the internal pressure-type thermosetting using a nylon bladder, a fillet was formed on the lower surface of the steerer tube, and between the prepreg and the prepreg at the part where the steerer tube is attached to the fork body Strong adhesion of was confirmed.;Using this technique, the manufacture of high strength, lightweight motorcycle forks using composite materials has been achieved.
