Abstract

An endoscope connector device comprises: a first cable of an endoscope, including a light guide for supplying illumination light and an electric wire for obtaining video signals from an image pickup device; a light guide connector connected to the first cable; and a second cable of the endoscope, including the electric wire led out of the light guide connector, wherein the second cable is attached diagonally from the light guide connector at an angle θ within a range of 0°<θ<90° from a first cable side of an axial direction of the first cable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An endoscope cable lead-out unit comprising:
 an outer sheath that includes a synthetic resin and is formed so as to project in a cable lead-out direction from a body, the outer sheath including a cylindrical portion;   a metallic lead-out part frame for retaining and fixing a cable or components of the cable, the metallic lead-out part frame including:
 a portion arranged inside the cylindrical portion of the outer sheath, and 
 an outer circumferential edge, so that the metallic lead-out part frame is arranged inside the outer sheath while engaging with a base end side of the outer sheath; and 
   a presser ring that is screwed and coupled to the metallic lead-out part frame and engages a distal end side of the outer sheath in this screw-coupled state, the presser ring including:
 a flange portion which is engaged to contact the distal end face of the cylindrical portion of the outer sheath, 
   wherein the outer sheath is nipped by the presser ring and the metallic lead-out part frame.   
     
     
         2 . The endoscope cable lead-out unit according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the lead-out part frame comprises:   a first frame adjacent to the main body side; and   a second frame that is detachably attached to the first frame by a latching unit and retains and fixes the cable or components of the cable,   wherein the presser ring is arranged on the second frame.   
     
     
         3 . The endoscope cable lead-out unit according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the endoscope cable lead-out unit is applied to a lead-out part of a light guide connector which is part of the body.
