Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid supply tube for several flow passages that is hardly buckled even if the tube is bent.SOLUTION: A tube 5 has two parallel-arranged pipes 15, a connecting part 17 for connecting outer peripheral surfaces of the adjoining pipes and ribs 18 protruded from the outer peripheral surfaces of the tubes in a plane crossing at a right angle with an axis line of each of the pipes along a direction crossing at a right angle with a connecting direction where the adjoining two pipes are connected by the connecting part and formed in a linear manner along the axis line direction of the pipes. The tube is bent in such a direction as one where the ribs may face inside. Since a resilience of the ribs recovers the tubes to their original shape, the pipes are not buckled. A clearance between the two tubes is kept constant at the connecting part, and a force applied to the tubes twists the tubes to deform the connecting part and moves the ribs toward a peripheral direction. No buckling or slit is produced at the tubes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
