A tube connecting apparatus includes first and second tube holders (12, 32) holding flexible tubes (16, 18), a cutting blade (20) for heating, melting and cutting the tubes held by the holders between the holders, and a holder displacing mechanism (22) for relatively displacing the second holder to the first holder to closely contact and connect cutting ends of the tubes each other. Each of the first and second tube holders has a tube holding portion (12d, 14d) which holds the tubes in a state that the circular cylindrical surfaces of the tubes which are contacting each other. <IMAGE> |
