Abstract: In a hose having a bent portion, a poor appearance part is prevented from being created in an inner round portion of the bent portion. A bent pipe has a bent portion located in an intermediate part in a longitudinal direction in which a cross section in a radial direction of a round of the bent portion is formed in a flat shape, and non-bent portions being continuous with the bent portion. The flat shape of the bent portion is a vertically long flat shape. With this configuration, when an unvulcanized hose is put on a mandrel and vulcanized, an inner round portion of the unvulcanized hose comes into tight contact with a bent portion of the mandrel and is not separated from the bent portion, so that the poor appearance part is hardly created in an inner round portion of the bent portion.

Abstract: First and second arms have first and second retaining members, respectively. A switching mechanism switches a retained state of a first position of a tying medium between first and second states. In the in and second states, the first position is retained by the first and second retaining members at first and second retain in positions, respectively. A loop retaining member retains a hop around the second arm in a path extending from the first retaining position through second and third positions to a fourth position of the tying medium. The second position intersects the third position as a result of the loop such that the third position is closer to the first retaining position than the second position in the path. A moving portion moves the loop relative to the second arm to change a relative positional relationship between the hop and the first position on the path.
