Abstract

A device having a tube for heating or heat retaining of fluid includes a first path in which a connection section of a cord heater led out of the tube and a lead wire connected to a power supply is provided, a second path provided between the tube and the first path, and a drainage path for removing leaked fluid of the second path. In this device, the connection section is sandwiched by a pair of first sealing members to retain a sealed state and the cord heater passes through the second path in a sealed state by a second sealing member. This device can effectively prevent gas or liquid from leaking into the space where the connection section of a lead wire and a cord heater is provided.

Claims (21)

1. A device having a tube for heating or heat retaining of fluid comprising:

an end of the tube fitted into a joint section;

a first path integrally formed with the joint section, in which a connection section of a cord heater exiting the tube and a lead wire connected to a power supply is provided, wherein the connection section is sandwiched by a pair of first sealing members to retain a sealed state;

a second path provided between the tube and the first path, wherein the cord heater passes through the second path in a sealed state by a second sealing member; and

a drainage path for removing leaked fluid of the second path.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an additional first path having a structure of the first path and an additional second path having a structure of the second path.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first and second sealing members are formed in a tubular shape, and a plurality of circular projections are provided on outer circumferential surfaces of the first and second sealing members respectively.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first path is placed higher than the end of the tube fitted into the joint section.

5. A device having a tube for heating or heat retaining of fluid comprising:

a first path in which a connection section of a cord heater exiting the tube and a lead wire connected to a power supply is provided, wherein the connection section is sandwiched by a pair of first sealing members to retain a sealed state;

a second path provided between the tube and the first path, wherein the cord heater passes through the second path in a sealed state by a second sealing member; and

a drainage path for removing leaked fluid of the second path, wherein the first and second sealing members are formed in a tubular shape.

6. The device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

an additional first path having a structure of the first path and an additional second path having a structure of the second path.

7. A device having a tube for heating or heat retaining of fluid comprising:

a first path in which a connection section of a cord heater exiting the tube and a lead wire connected to a power supply is provided, wherein the connection section is sandwiched by a pair of first sealing members to retain a sealed state;

a second path provided between the tube and the first path, wherein the cord heater passes through the second path in a sealed state by a second sealing member; and

a drainage path for removing leaked fluid of the second path, wherein the first and second sealing members are formed in a tubular shape, and a plurality of circular projections are provided on outer circumferential surfaces of the first and second sealing members respectively.

8. The device according to claim 7 , further comprising:

an additional first path having a structure of the first path and an additional second path having a structure of the second path.
