Claim:
1. A pipe holding device that holds pipes having different diameters, wherein the holding device holds the pipes to fix the position of the pipes with respect to one another or to permit one of the pipes to slide with respect to the other, and the pipe holding device comprises: a metallic member configured to hold a small diameter pipe with respect to a large diameter pipe; and a resin member provided on the metallic member to hold the small diameter pipe together with the metallic member, wherein the resin member has a resin surface that contacts an outer peripheral surface of the small diameter pipe, the metallic member includes a first member and a second member, the first and second members have metal surfaces, respectively, that are adapted to contact the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter pipe, the resin surface and the metal surfaces are adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the large diameter pipe when the pipe holding device holds the pipes, the first member is adapted to be fixed to the large diameter pipe, the first member and the second member are adapted to grip the small diameter pipe, the metal surfaces of at least one of the first member and the second member are adapted to directly hold the small diameter pipe, and the resin surface of the resin member is shaped such that, when clamping of the small diameter pipe by the first member and the second member is released, the small diameter pipe is held only by the resin surface of the resin member.
