Abstract: A pipe-end-connecting joint comprisse a nipple 1 inserted in the pipe end, a holder 2 for tightening the outer circumference of the pipe end, and an elastic packing 3 divided into half parts and attached in the holder 2. The nipple 1 includes a tubular portion 11 provided in one longitudinal end side thereof so as to be inserted in the pipe end, a connection portion 12 provided in the other longitudinal end side thereof so as to be connected to another joint, and a flange portion 13 provided in a longitudinal intermediate portion thereof so as to protrude outward.

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 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: There is provided a heat insulating hose which comprises a seamless cylindrical inner tube formed of a synthetic resin, and a cylindrical heat insulating layer formed of a foamed synthetic resin for covering an outer peripheral face of the inner tube, characterized in that the inner tube is provided at its one end with a cylindrical part for connection with a drain outlet of an air conditioning appliance and formed with a number of ring-shaped protrusion stripes which project toward its outer circumference over an entire length thereof in its axial direction except the cylindrical part spacing a distance W which is wider than an axial width w of each of the ring-shaped protrusion stripes, and that an area b of a desired range spaced by a determined length a from the cylindrical part is an area wherein a number of ring-shaped protrusion stripes are formed at a smaller distance s.
