Abstract:
The first electrode section ( 7 a ) and the second electrode section ( 7 b ) are formed such that the outer portion connected to the upper portion of the heating section ( 6 ) is thinner than the inner portion connected to the lower portion of the heating section ( 6 ). The heating section ( 6 ) and the first electrode section ( 7 a ) are interconnected by an R-shaped first connecting portion ( 21 ). The inner circumferential sloping surface of the heating section ( 6 ) and the second electrode section ( 7 b ) are interconnected by an R-shaped second connecting portion ( 22 ). The first and second connecting portions ( 21 )( 22 ) are formed such that R becomes larger from the upper end to the lower end, where the upper portion is thin and the lower portion is thick. The thickness of an intermediate portion ( 6 b ) is smaller than the thicknesses of the first and second connecting portions ( 21 )( 22 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A thermal caulking device which joins a first member to a second member by melting a boss of the second member being inserted into a through-hole formed in the first member and projecting inwardly from an inner circumferential surface of the first member, the first member having a cylindrical shape and a width gradually increasing from its bottom surface to its upper surface, the thermal caulking device comprising:\n a heat tip having\n a main body section whose outer circumferential surface is formed to extend along the inner circumferential surface of the first member and \n two plate-like terminal sections extending radially from the main body section and connected to an inner circumferential surface of the main body section; and \n a power supply unit arranged above the heat tip and configured to supply electricity to the main body section via the terminal sections, wherein: \n at least either of the main body section and the terminal sections has a non-uniform thickness in a predetermined direction.
