Abstract

An exhaust tube holding member is supported by an exhaust pipe and holds, on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an exhaust tube to be inserted into the exhaust pipe. The exhaust tube holding member includes a first annular portion, a second annular portion, and an outward protruding portion. The first annular portion is formed with a first through hole. The second annular portion is formed with a second through hole in communication with the first through hole and having an inner diameter larger than that of the first through hole, and is connected to the first annular portion. The outward protruding portion protrudes peripherally outward from an outer peripheral surface of the second annular portion and is supported by the exhaust pipe. The inward protruding portion protrudes peripherally inward from an inner peripheral surface of the second annular portion and is supported by the exhaust pipe.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An exhaust tube holding member configured to be supported by an exhaust pipe extending from an inside to an outside of a building, and hold, on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an exhaust tube to be inserted into the exhaust pipe, the exhaust tube holding member comprising:
a first annular portion which is formed with a first through hole;
a second annular portion which is formed with a second through hole and is connected to the first annular portion, the second through hole being in communication with the first through hole and having an inner diameter larger than that of the first through hole;
an outward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally outward from an outer peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe; and
an inward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally inward from an inner peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe,
wherein the outward protruding portion is formed to have an annular shape,
the outward protruding portion includes a first outward protruding member having an annular shape and a second outward protruding member having an annular shape,
the first outward protruding member has an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the second outward protruding member, and
the second outward protruding member is disposed closer to the first annular portion than the first outward protruding member.

2. An exhaust tube holding member configured to be supported by an exhaust pipe extending from an inside to an outside of a building, and hold, on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an exhaust tube to be inserted into the exhaust pipe, the exhaust tube holding member comprising:
a first annular portion which is formed with a first through hole;
a second annular portion which is formed with a second through hole and is connected to the first annular portion, the second through hole being in communication with the first through hole and having an inner diameter larger than that of the first through hole;
an outward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally outward from an outer peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe; and
an inward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally inward from an inner peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe,
wherein the outward protruding portion is formed to have an annular shape,
the outward protruding portion includes a first outward protruding member having an annular shape and a second outward protruding member having an annular shape,
in a cross section perpendicular to the radial direction of the outward protruding portion, the outer peripheral end of the first outward protruding member has a radius of curvature greater than the radius of curvature of the outer peripheral edge of the second outward protruding member, and
the second outward protruding member is disposed closer to the first annular portion than the first outward protruding member.

3. An exhaust tube holding member configured to be supported by an exhaust pipe extending from an inside to an outside of a building, and hold, on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an exhaust tube to be inserted into the exhaust pipe, the exhaust tube holding member comprising:
a first annular portion which is formed with a first through hole;
a second annular portion which is formed with a second through hole and is connected to the first annular portion, the second through hole being in communication with the first through hole and having an inner diameter larger than that of the first through hole;
an outward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally outward from an outer peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe; and
an inward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally inward from an inner peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe,
wherein the inward protruding portion is formed to have an annular shape,
the inward protruding portion includes a first inward protruding member having an annular shape and a second inward protruding member having an annular shape,
the first inward protruding member has an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the second inward protruding member, and
the second inward protruding member is disposed closer to the first annular portion than the first inward protruding member.

4. An exhaust tube holding member configured to be supported by an exhaust pipe extending from an inside to an outside of a building, and hold, on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an exhaust tube to be inserted into the exhaust pipe, the exhaust tube holding member comprising:
a first annular portion which is formed with a first through hole;
a second annular portion which is formed with a second through hole and is connected to the first annular portion, the second through hole being in communication with the first through hole and having an inner diameter larger than that of the first through hole;
an outward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally outward from an outer peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe; and
an inward protruding portion configured to protrude peripherally inward from an inner peripheral surface of the second annular portion and supported by the exhaust pipe,
wherein the inward protruding portion is formed to have an annular shape,
the inward protruding portion includes a first inward protruding member having an annular shape and a second inward protruding member having an annular shape,
in a cross section perpendicular to the radial direction of the inward protruding portion, the inner peripheral end of the first inward protruding member has a radius of curvature greater than the radius of curvature of the inner peripheral edge of the second inward protruding member, and
the second inward protruding member is disposed closer to the first annular portion than the first inward protruding member.
