  • Patent number: 9851031
    Abstract: A joint is connected to a tube and includes a joint body, nut, and ring. The joint body has a tube coupling part and a main body thread part. The nut has a nut thread part and a constricted diameter part. The ring is arranged in a space radially inward of the nut thread part. The ring abuts an abutted part of the nut. The ring has a Young's modulus greater than the tube. The ring has a curved surface part at least at a radially inward portion of the ring axially on the joint body side, the curved surface part bulging radially inward of the ring and axially toward the joint body side. A maximum thickness of the ring in a radial direction is defined as 2r, an axial length of the curved surface part of the ring is defined as h, and ?=h/r being 0.5 to 1.2.
