Claim 0:
1. A pipe coupling member detachably connectable to an associated pipe coupling member having a locking element, the pipe coupling member comprising:
a coupling body having a forward end and a rear end and cylindrically extending from the forward end to the rear end to define at least a part of a fluid passage of the pipe coupling member, the coupling body having a deformed portion deformed radially inward between the forward end and the rear end to form a locking element latching surface on an outer peripheral surface of the coupling body, the locking element latching surface facing rearward; and
a cylindrical support member disposed inside the coupling body so as to support a part of the coupling body from radially inside, the support member having a support surface supporting from inside a portion of the deformed portion that forms the locking element latching surface;
wherein when the pipe coupling member is connected to the associated pipe coupling member, the locking element latching surface is latched by the locking element of the associated pipe coupling member, thereby allowing the pipe coupling member to be held by the associated pipe coupling member.
