The inner tube 30 is fused or adhered to the inside wall of the outer tube 24 over a length of 50% or greater of the total length L1 from the distal end of the outer tube 24. The inner tube 30 is engaged with the inside wall of the outer tube 24 by a cut piece 54 at the distal end of the outer tube 24.</p> |
