Abstract
A fixing device places and layers a plurality of members between a die and a punch disposed in an opposed manner, and presses and fixes the plurality of members. The plurality of members include a first member including a first fixation portion, a second member including a second fixation portion smaller than the first fixation portion, and a third member including a third fixation portion larger than the second fixation portion. The die includes a projected portion that protrudes toward the punch, and the punch includes a sheltering portion recessed along a shape of the second fixation portion. The die and the punch press the first fixation portion and the third fixation portion, thereby forming an extruded portion and forming a recess-projection fitting structure EG in a thickness direction, so that the second fixation portion is sandwiched and fixed therebetween.
