Abstract:
A corrugated tube of the present invention has a rigid portion, a bellows portion, and a gradually varying portion. The rigid portion is formed in an end portion of the tube, and has a first half-circumference portion having a recess/projection-repetitive structure in which grooves and projection strips are arranged alternately in the tube longitudinal direction and a second half-circumference portion having a straight structure with no grooves or projection strips. The bellows portion is formed in a center portion of the tube and has the first and the second half-circumference portions both of which have a recess/projection-repetitive structure. The gradually varying portion is formed between the rigid portion and the bellows portion, and has the first half-circumference portion having the recess/projection-repetitive structure and the second half-circumference portion having the gradually varying structure in which the height of the projection strip decreases gradually from the bellows portion to the rigid portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A tubular corrugated tube inside of which a conductor line is to be arranged, the corrugated tube comprising:\n a rigid portion which is formed in an end portion in a longitudinal direction of the tube, and has a first half-circumference portion having a recess/projection-repetitive structure in which grooves and projection strips extending in a circumferential direction of the tube are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction of the tube and a second half-circumference portion that is the remaining part other than the first half-circumference portion and has a straight structure having no grooves or projection strips; a bellows portion which is formed in a center portion in the longitudinal direction of the tube, and has the first half-circumference portion and the second half-circumference portion both of which have the recess/projection-repetitive structure; and a gradually varying portion which is formed between the rigid portion and the bellows portion in the longitudinal direction of the tube and has:\n the first half-circumference portion having the recess/projection-repetitive structure, and \n the second half-circumference portion having a gradually varying structure in which at least two depths of the grooves and heights of the projection strips decrease gradually from the bellows portion to the rigid portion.
