ABSTRACT:
In a tube fixing structure, a tube is fixed to a joint by means of a fixing member. The joint comprises a pipe whose one end is fitted into the tube, whose outside diameter is larger than an inside diameter of the tube, and whose outer surface is flattened with respect to the axial direction; and a main body that is connected with the other end of the pipe. The fixing member comprises a cylindrical holder made of a flexible material, which holds a portion of the tube having the pipe fitted therein by cramping the portion from its outer periphery, the holder having a through hole into which the tube is coaxially disposed and a slit formed to reach the through hole.
