Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The tube body intermediate includes: a carbon fiber disposed with respect to an outer circumferential surface of a mandrel such that the carbon fiber extends in an axial direction of the mandrel in a manner of being wound by less than one turn; and a first fixing member wound with respect to an outer circumferential surface of the mandrel such that the first fixing member extends in the axial direction of the mandrel in a manner of being wound over the carbon fiber by one or more turns in a circumferential direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A tube body intermediate comprising: a fiber body disposed with respect to an outer circumferential surface of a mandrel so as to extend in an axial direction of the mandrel; and a first fixing member wound with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel such that the first fixing member is wound over the fiber body by one or more turns in a circumferential direction, along the axial direction of the mandrel, wherein a fiber layer is comprised of the fiber body and the first fixing member, wherein the tube body intermediate comprises a plurality of fiber layers, including the fiber layer, each comprising: a respective fiber body disposed with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel so as to extend in the axial direction of the mandrel; and a respective first fixing member wound with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel such that the respective first fixing member is wound over the respective fiber body by one or more turns in the circumferential direction, along the axial direction of the mandrel, wherein the plurality of fiber layers are disposed in a manner of being stacked in a radial direction of the mandrel, wherein the respective first fixing member of a lower one of the plurality of fiber layers and the respective fiber body of an upper one of the plurality of fiber layers, located on top of the lower one, are at least stacked in the radial direction, and wherein the first fixing members of the plurality of fiber layers are disposed at different phases in the axial direction of the mandrel. 2 . The tube body intermediate according to claim 1 , further comprising a second fixing member fixing opposite end portions of the fiber body of one of the plurality of fiber layers with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel. 3 . The tube body intermediate according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixing members of the plurality of fiber layers are disposed at different phases in the axial direction of the mandrel so as not to overlap with one another in the radial direction of the mandrel. 4 . A tube body intermediate comprising: a fiber body disposed with respect to an outer circumferential surface of a mandrel so as to extend in an axial direction of the mandrel; a first fixing member wound with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel such that the first fixing member is wound over the fiber body by one or more turns in a circumferential direction, along the axial direction of the mandrel; and a second fixing member fixing opposite end portions of the fiber body with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel.
