FLEXIBLE TUBE CONNECTION END OF ENDOSCOPE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flexible tube connection end of an endoscope that has a structure wherein the point of an anti-breakage cover is glued to a flexible tube and that can permit a removal of an anti-breakage element from a rigid part without ungluing work. SOLUTION: An anti-breakage cover 20 is formed out of a material elastically deformable to a degree affording an axial turnover, and has a base end capable of engagement and disengagement with and from a rigid part 2. Between a point portion A of the anti-breakage cover 20 and an anti-breakage element 10, such an interval L is formed as is required for an axially moving removal of the anti-breakage element 10 from the rigid part 2.
