ABSTRACT:
The invention is a hollow tubular member with an integral attachment end fitting. In detail, the product is made by a process comprising the steps of: providing a first hollow tubular member made of a composite material; providing a support member adapted to fit within the first tubular member; installing the support member within the first tubular member and joining thereto; providing a second hollow tubular member made of composite material; installing the second tubular member within the end of the first tubular member such that it abuts the support member; providing an inflatable bladder having an inflation tube attached thereto; installing the inflatable bladder within the first tubular member such that it abuts the support member and the inflation tube extends out the end; pressurizing the bladder causing it to expand and apply pressure to the first and second tubular members; heating a portion of both the first and second tubular members to forming temperatures; and forming a portion of first and second tubular members into a solid flat rectangular cross-sectional shaped attachment end fitting.
