ENDOSCOPE WITH A LOCKABLE OPTIC SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a medical endoscope (1) that comprises a proximal end piece (3) and an optical system (4) that can be inserted up to a proximal eyepiece (5). A spring-loaded locking device is configured in the end piece and engages in a groove (8) of a pin (7) in a locking manner. Said pin is provided with a tip (9), distally projects from the eyepiece and can be inserted in the groove. A slide (12a) is disposed in a shaft (11) that extends in the end piece (3) and can be actuated from the shaft end. Said slide is coupled to one or more blades (15a) in such a manner that it lifts them off the pin when the device is actuated, the blades being slideable cross-wise to the pin in the end piece and being pressed against the pin under the action of a spring.
