PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tubular body which controls the influence of a spine, and is easy to use.SOLUTION: The tubular body is formed into a tube by winding and accumulating a main pattern 5 of prepreg, in which nearly axial directionally-reinforced fibers are aligned, on a core metal. The main pattern is wound around the core metal 6 with its winding starting edge 5A and winding ending edge 5B in an inclined state to the axis X of the core metal 6 so as to become farther on the base side, and the winding starting edge 5A in an inside layer is arranged in a condition to present a helical structure from the tip side to the base side with respect to the axis X of the tubular body, so that a thickness variation part in the tubular body is dispersed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】スパインの影響を抑制し、使用し易い管状体を提供する。【解決手段】略軸方向強化繊維を揃えたプリプレグのメインパターン5を芯金に巻回積層して筒状に作成される管状体であって、メインパターンにおける巻始辺5Aと巻終辺5Bとを、芯金6の軸線Xに対して元側程離れる傾斜状態になるように芯金6に巻き付けて、内側層における巻始辺5Aを、先側から元側に掛けて管状体の軸線Xに対して螺旋状を呈する状態に配置して、管状体における肉厚変化部を分散させるように構成してある。【選択図】 図3
