Abstract
A flow path member includes a cover divided into a base unit and a cover unit. Flow path grooves are provided on one side of faces of the cover unit and the base unit which face each other. The flow path grooves extend in a first direction and are aligned in a second direction. An elastic sealing member is arranged between the facing faces and configures a part of a flow path wall face by covering the flow path grooves. An abutting unit is provided on one side of the base unit and the cover unit, protrudes toward the other side, and comes into contact with the other side. The abutting unit may be provided on both sides of the flow path groove in any one direction and may be extended along the other direction. The base unit and the cover unit may be fixed using a fastening member.
