Abstract
A coupling member is provided that includes a filtration member provided in a fluid passage in a coupling body to divide the fluid passage into an upstream pre-filtration passage section and a downstream post-filtration passage section. The filtration member includes a cylindrical part extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis and having a filtration portion. The cylindrical part divides a downstream portion of the pre-filtration passage section and an upstream portion of the post-filtration passage section from each other in the radial direction of the cylindrical part. Further, the fluid passage has a dust collecting part extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the downstream portion to a position closer to a downstream opening than the filtration portion of the filtration member. The dust collecting part is closed at a downstream end thereof.
