Abstract
A connector has a tube () formed such that a first half tube () and a second half tube () are connected via maximum width portions (). The first half tube () is formed with a high rigidity portion () that has a higher rigidity than the second half tube () and is arranged substantially in a central part of the first half tube () in a width direction. The first half tube () is formed with first thin portions () by being partly thinned in areas deviated from the high rigidity portion (). The second half tube () is formed with second thin portions () by being partly thinned and the second thin portions () have an axial dimension shorter than that of the first thin portions ().
