Abstract: A porous pipe having an excellent absorbing and draining function, a producing apparatus capable of producing a porous pipe at high speed and low cost, and a method of producing a porous pipe are provided. The porous pipe is a pipe formed by spirally winding a tape. The pipe is formed by a hole forming portion 13 for forming a recess or a notch or a hole in the tape 2 molded by a tape molding portion 11, and the hole forming portion 13 is located between the tape molding portion 11 and a pipe forming portion 12 so that the tape 2 is molded, holes 6 are formed, and a pipe 1 is formed continuously. The holes 6 are formed into a predetermined shape by elongating the hole 6 from a side of the pipe forming portion 12. In the pipe 1 formed thereby, a peripheral wall portion of the hole 6 is gradually thin-walled toward an outer peripheral face of the hole.

Abstract: A flexible hose having air-permeability is formed by either: sandwiching an air-permeable tape between tape end edge portions, as leading and trailing in a hose longitudinal direction, of a soft resin tape that is helically wound integrally with the air-permeable tape; or by helically winding only an air-permeable tape.

By providing lubricating properties to an inner circumference of the outer tube or an outer circumference of the inner tube, it is possible to prevent wear which might otherwise be caused by rubbing contact between the inner tube and outer tube.
