PRESSURE TRANSMITTING CONNECTOR FOR AN ENDOSCOPY SYSTEM

摘要

The inventive pressure transmitting connector, in particular for an endoscopy system comprises a fluid transporting channel (19, 21), a blind compartment (39a, 39b) which open (41a, 41b) towards the transport channels (19, 21) by a pipe (41a, 41b) and closed by a membrane (37a, 37b) which is deformable according to a pressure in said transport channels (19, 21) and means for transmitting a representative quantity of the pressure in the transport channel according to the membrane deformation. According to said invention, the transport channel (19, 21), the pipe (41a, 41b) and the blind compartment (39a, 39b) are embodied in the same rigid part (43) to which the membrane (37a, 37b) is attached. In a preferred embodiment, the membrane (37a, 37b) simultaneously closes the blind compartment (39a, 39b) and a pressure transmitting chamber (35a, 35b) attached to said rigid part (43).
