Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A tubular molded body that can reduce restrictions on attachment to another member to be easily attached to another member. The tubular molded body 10 includes a tube main body 11 formed in a tubular shape and an attachment flange 100 formed in a flange shape to project from the tube main body 11 . The attachment flange 100 includes a thin-walled hinge 130 and is rotatable by the hinge.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tubular molded body, comprising: a tube main body formed in a tubular shape; and an attachment flange formed in a flange shape to project from the tube main body, the attachment flange comprising a thin-walled hinge and being rotatable by the thin-walled hinge, wherein a hinge protection portion is formed on the tube main body near an end of the thin-walled hinge, a tip portion of the hinge protection portion is formed on a projecting side of the attachment flange beyond the thin-walled hinge, a thin-walled side plate portion is provided between the hinge protection portion and the attachment flange and extends from the end of the thin-walled hinge in the projecting direction of the attachment flange. 2. The tubular molded body of claim 1 , wherein the attachment flange comprises: a fixed flange formed to project from the tube main body; and an attachment flange main body connected to the fixed flange via the thin-walled hinge. 3. The tubular molded body of claim 2 , wherein the attachment flange main body is formed in a bent shape. 4. A tubular molded body, comprising: a tube main body formed in a tubular shape; and an attachment flange formed in a flange shape to project from the tube main body, the attachment flange comprising a thin-walled hinge and being rotatable by the thin-walled hinge, wherein the attachment flange comprises a fixed flange formed to project from the tube main body; an attachment flange main body connected to the fixed flange via the thin-walled hinge, and the attachment flange main body is formed in a bent shape.
