  • Patent number: 11469581
    Abstract: A resin structure includes a first resin body, and a second resin body. The second resin body is fit to an outer surface of the first resin body while being slid to one side in a sliding direction along the outer surface of the first resin body. The first resin body and the second resin body form a water stop structural unit extending in the sliding direction in a state where the second resin body is fit to the first resin body. The water stop structural unit includes a first water stop structure in a first region located at the one side in the sliding direction, and a second water stop structure in a second region located at the other side in the sliding direction with respect to the first region.

  • Patent number: 11431158
    Abstract: A resin structure includes a first resin body, and a second resin body. The second resin body is fit to an outer surface of the first resin body while being slid to one side in a sliding direction along the outer surface of the first resin body. The second resin body includes a pair of end edge portions. The pair of end edge portions extend in inclined directions that are inclined with respect to the sliding direction, such that a gap between the pair of end edge portions in a width direction gradually decreases toward one side of the sliding direction, the width direction being orthogonal to the sliding direction and extending along the outer surface. The first resin body includes a pair of facing surfaces spaced apart in the width direction and facing each other.
