Abstract: Metallic force-introducing elements are fastened to the two ends of a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin material tube. These elements consist each of an inner and an outer part which are screw-connected with one another. The inner part comprises a bushing-shaped thread-bearing shaft having an external threading and being screwed into the respective tube end. The outer part comprises a supporting sleeve which surrounds the tube end and absorbs radial forces generated by the thread-bearing shaft. This type of connection of a synthetic resin tube with force-introducing elements is not critical with respect to temperature changes and is particularly simple to assemble in the manufacture of a novel tension-compression stay.
