PURPOSE: To bend a special form hollow material, etc. at high work efficiency without causing deformation by inserting bars made of a synthetic resin into the hollow parts to be bent of a long sized hollow material.
CONSTITUTION: Bars 7 made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, etc. are inserted to the parts to be bent of a special form material 1 such as a window frame, etc. having 2 continuous hollow part 2. This special form material 1 is set to a bending die 5, and both ends are grasped by chucks 4. Bending is performed by moving the chcuks in the X-Y direction, and bent parts having radii of curvature R1, R2 are formed at the parts where bars 7 are inserted. By this way, bending is performed without causing deformation of the sectional form of hollow part 2. As the special form material 1 has a large slip factor against the bars 7, cracking does not take place. After working, welding is made without taking out the bars 7, and painting, baking etc. are performed.
