Abstract
A void filling device which facilitates insertion of a void filling material into a tubular component and hold of the void filling material therewithin. The device comprises a holder for void filling material which is designed to retain the void filling material to fill a void space by expanding with heat and is of a different material from the void filling material so as to be elastically deformed and inserted into the void space. When the cross-sectional configuration of the void space of the tubular component is a rectangle, the holder is formed into a plate-like configuration which is longer than the diagonal line of the rectangle and is adapted to be insertable into the void space by bending the same arcuately.
