Abstract: A flexible hose of the invention has a hose wall which is formed by laminating resin layers. The resin layer acting as a gas barrier is formed by spirally winding a gas barrier resin strip and thermally fusing or bonding axially adjoining edges of the strip to each other. The resin layers are thermally fused or bonded to one another to become one piece.

Abstract: In an incombustible duct hose, a cloth material with a predetermined width is spirally wound to form a cylindrical shape, and a metal strip-like material caulks adjacent side edge portions of the spirally-wound cloth material to connect them. The cloth material is fabricated in a gas impermeable state by coating a silicone at least on one surface of a silica cloth sheet so that a texture of the silica cloth sheet is clogged by the coated silicone. The silicone is subjected to a fire retardant treatment by mixing a flame retardant.

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. The flexible hose can be properly used as a cleaner hose of a discharge circulation type by using it as an outer tube of a double tube structure. 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.

Abstract: A corrugated pipe joint for coupling corrugated pipes includes at least two joint components, each of which includes a joint main body made of a synthetic resin and including an arc-shaped portion and tightening projecting edges which are outwardly projected from circumferential end portions of said arc-shaped portion in a radial direction of the corrugated pipes to be coupled, and a watertightness-implementing packing made of an elastic material and assembled with the joint main body, the watertightness-implementing packing including an arc-shaped portion and flange edges projecting outwardly from circumferential end portions of the arc-shaped portion in the radial direction.

Abstract: A flexible hose having a sufficient strength while ensuring the air permeability is provided. In a hose formed by winding a soft resin tape helically such that leading tape end brim portions and trailing end brim portions extending in the hose longitudinal direction are overlapped to each other in the hose radial direction, gaps for ventilation for making the inside of the hose and the outside communicate with each other is formed by interposing a gap forming member having a concavo-convex shape between both end brim portions or forming a concavo-convex shape on one of surfaces of the end brim portions which face each other in an opposed manner.

Abstract: A flexible insulating duct excellent in both the noncombustibility and insulating characteristics as well as productivity, and formed by spirally winding a belt-like body which is obtained by wrapping glass wool or some other insulating material with a noncombustible cloth or some other noncombustible sheet type material. When the belt-like body is spirally wound, a preceding end portion thereof and a following end portion thereof are bonded to each other so that the noncombustibility of a final product is not lost, or joined to each other firmly via a noncombustible joint member.

Abstract: A flexible hose having an air-permeability and formed either: by sandwiching an air-permeable tape between the tape end edge portions, as leading and trailing in the hose longitudinal direction, of a soft resin tape to be helically wound, and by winding the air-permeable tape integrally with the soft resin tape; or by winding only the air-permeable tape helically. Especially, the air-permeable flexible hose can be properly used as a cleaner hose of the discharge circulation type by using it as an outer tube of a double tube. By giving lubricating properties to the inner circumference of the outer tube or the outer circumference of the inner tube, on the other hand, it is possible to prevent the wear which might otherwise be caused by the rubbing contact.

Abstract: A corrugated resin elbow comprises a corrugate-shaped synthetic resin pipe wall which includes a plurality of valley portions, a plurality of ridge portions and side surfaces respectively interposed between the valley portions and the ridge portions. At least one of the valley portions and the side surfaces which is disposed on the bend small diameter side of the substantially middle portion of the pipe wall in the longitudinal direction thereof is contractingly heated and deformed to thereby work the corrugate-shaped pipe wall into a bent attitude having a given angle.

Abstract: There is provided a heat-insulating and noise reducing duct constituted by reinforcing core 1, a thick felt layer 2, a foamed resin strip layer 3 and a resin-coating layer 4. The reinforcing core 1 is made of hard polyolefin resin material and wound spirally at predetermined intervals. The thick felt layer 2 is wound spirally on an outer circumferential surface of the reinforcing core so that adjacent side edge portions of the felt layer 2 are lapped over or brought into contact with each other, while the shape of the felt layer is retained by the reinforcing core 1. The foamed resin strip layer 3 made of polyolefin resin material and wound spirally on an outer circumferential surface of the felt layer 2 so that adjacent side edge portions of the foamed resin strip layer 3 are in abutment against or in tight contact with each other. The resin-coating layer 4 provided to cover an outer circumferential surface of the foamed resin strip layer 3.
