Are respectively provided so as to be insertable and connectable to each other , and the insertion fitting part between the outer pipes of the first and second connection pipes and the insertion fitting part between the inner pipes of the first and second connection pipes are axial lines. Since the ends of the connecting portions of the inner and outer pipes of the first and second connecting pipes do not overlap with each other, bending stress is applied to the connecting portions of the first and second connecting pipes. Even if it acts, the shearing force acting on the connection between the inner pipes of the first and second connection pipes from the end of one of the inner pipes to the other of the inner pipes can be reinforced by the connection between the outer pipes. At the connection between the outer pipes of the second connection pipe, the shear force acting on the other outer pipe from the end of one of the outer pipes can be reinforced by the connection between the inner pipes. As a result, for example, in order to improve the appearance of the connection portion between the outer pipes without a step, when the end of one of the outer pipes is formed to have a small diameter to have a step, the shear stress due to bending at the step portion is reduced. Even if it works, it can be reinforced at the connection between the inner pipes, so that the outer pipe can be prevented from being cut at the step.
