Abstract
A corrugated spiral pipe with a coupling device comprises a pipe body 10, a pair of flanges 20, and a pair of binding bands 30. The pipe body 10 has a cylindrical shape and is prepared to have a spirally corrugated shape 11. The pair of the flanges 20 are formed in one body of outer circumferences of both end portions of said pipe body 10, each of the flanges 20 having a large outer diameter portion at an end portion of the flange 20 and a small outer diameter portion 21 at a longitudinally inside portion of the flange 20. Each of said binding bands 30 is installed on the small outer diameter portion 21 of the flange 20 and is composed of a metallic belt plate 31 which has a ring configuration in which some part thereof is cut, a plurality of connecting rings 32 which are installed axially on an outer surface of the metallic belt plate 31 at specific intervals, and bearing plates 33 which are formed vertically to both end portions of the cut part of the metallic belt plate 31, each of the bearing plates 33 having a hole.
