PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope holding device whereby an endoscope that is clean before examination and another endoscope that is contaminated after examination can be easily hung in separate positions without making contact even without a user being conscious. SOLUTION: In this endoscope holding device 1, an arm 6 with first, second and third holders 3, 4, 5 attached thereto is attached to a column 2 via a fixing knob 9 which can freely vary the height of the arm 6. The first holder 3 is attached to the end of the arm 6 and the second holder 4 is fixed to a sliding member 10 which slides within the arm 6 over the range of the length of a guide groove. The rear end of the guide groove is provided in a position where the second holder 4 does not make contact with an endoscope hanging on the first holder 3, and the front end of the guide groove is formed in a position where the second holder 4 can hold the endoscope while the endoscope is held connected to a light source device in an endoscope cart 8. The sliding member is constantly energized toward the rear end of the guide groove by a spring member provided within the arm 6. Therefore, an endoscope that is clean before examination and another endoscope that is contaminated after examination can be easily hung in separate positions without making contact even without a user being conscious. |
