Flexible tube, and method for manufacturing same

摘要

A flexible tube (1) having a laminated multi-layer structure including an outer layer (3) composed of a main tube body layer (4) formed of thermoplastic synthetic resin in a predetermined thickness and a reinforcing layer (5) provided on the inner side of the main tube body layer, and an inner layer (3) formed of a thin film sheet of air tight and low friction material. The inner layer is formed by rolling an elongated strip of a thin film sheet into a tubular form such that opposite lateral sides of the thin film sheet are overlapped one on the other to provide a thick wall portion (6) extending longitudinally of and at one angular position of the inner layer.
