Claims
- 1. A corrugated heat pipe sealed at both ends, having a longitudinally corrugated peripheral wall, containing operating liquid therein, and having a rope-like tension member extending therethrough in its longitudinal direction and secured at both ends, said corrugated heat pipe comprising a supporting member disposed between a portion of said rope-like tension member and a recessed inner wall portion thereof, to let weight of the corrugated heat pipe be supported between said rope-like tension member portion and recessed inner wall portion.
- 2. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a wire-like member having a portion secured to said rope-like tension member and an extending portion received in and secured to said recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 3. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 2, wherein said supporting member is a wire-like member having a portion secured to said rope-like tension member and an extending portion received helically in and secured to a helical recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 4. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 2, wherein said supporting member is a wire-like member having a portion secured to said rope-like tension member and an extending portion in a ring-like form in and secured to a bellows-like recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 5. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a wire-like member having a portion secured to said rope-like tension member and an extending portion received helically in and secured to a helical recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 6. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a wire-like member having a portion secured to said rope-like tension member and an extending portion in a ring-like form in and secured to a bellows-like recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 7. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a substantially disk-like member having a notch, said rope-like tension member being fittedly held in said notch, the outer periphery of said disk-like support member being received in a recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 8. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 7, wherein said supporting member is a substantially disk-like member having a notch, said rope-like tension member being fittedly head in said notch, the outer periphery of said disk-like support member being received helically in a helical recessed wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 9. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 7, wherein said supporting member is a substantially disk-like member having a notch, said rope-like tension member being fittedly held in said notch, the outer periphery of said disk-like support member being received in ring-like form in a bellows-like recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 10. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a substantially disk-like member having a notch, said rope-like tension member being fittedly held in said notch, the outer periphery of said disk-like support member being received helically in a helical recessed wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
- 11. The corrugated heat pipe according to claim 1, wherein said supporting member is a substantially disk-like member having a notch, said rope-like tension member being fittedly held in said notch, the outer periphery of said disk-like support member being received in ring-like form in a bellows-like recessed inner wall portion of said corrugated heat pipe.
