Tube with coupling
The present invention relates to a tube with coupling according to which liquid leakage and the like can be suppressed as much as possible when couplings are connected. A tube with coupling ( 10 ) according to the present invention is a tube with coupling ( 10 ) obtained by forming a coupling ( 30 ) on a leading end portion ( 22 ) of a tube ( 20 ) through injection molding, and the leading end portion ( 22 ) of the tube ( 20 ) is arranged at a position set back from a leading end portion ( 32 ) of the coupling ( 30 ), at least a portion of the leading end portion ( 22 ) of the tube ( 20 ) being covered by the coupling ( 30 ). It is desirable that a flange ( 36 ) is provided so as to protrude outward at a position set back from the leading end portion ( 32 ) of the coupling ( 30 ) and the leading end portion ( 22 ) of the tube ( 20 ) is arranged at a position set further back from the flange ( 36 ).
1. A tube with coupling, comprising:
a coupling having a leading end portion;
the tube having a leading end portion, and the coupling being formed on the leading end portion of the tube by performing injection molding,
wherein the leading end portion of the tube is arranged at a position set back from a leading end portion of the coupling, at least a portion of the leading end portion of the tube being covered by the coupling,
the tube having an outer circumferential surface and a leading end portion, and the coupling having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface of the coupling surrounds and is fused with the outer circumferential surface and the leading end portion of the tube,
wherein the leading end portion of the coupling widens toward an outer circumference;
a flange that protrudes outward at a position set back from the leading end portion of the coupling and forward of the leading end portion of the tube;
a first recession formed on the outer circumference between the leading end portion of the coupling and the flange; and
a second recession formed on the outer circumference between the leading end portion of the tube and the flange,
the coupling being so formed as to have a wall thickness that is substantially equal at positions of both the first and second recessions.
2. The tube with coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the tube and the coupling are made of tetrafluoroethylene-fluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer.
3. The tube with coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the entire surface of the leading end of the tube is fused with the coupling, and an inner surface of the tube and a through hole of the coupling that is in communication with the inner surface are connected with no level difference therebetween.
