Link mechanism unit included in a link mechanism for an endoscopic forceps

摘要

A link mechanism unit of an endoscopic forceps is assembled by riveting an end of a coupling pin so that the link mechanism can be smoothly moved without unpleasant resistance. A coupling pin insertion hole is opened so as to pass through overlapping links;, and a counterbore is formed in a mouth portion of the coupling pin insertion hole. When the head of a coupling pin passed through the coupling pin insertion hole abuts against the counterbore, the end face of the head of the coupling pin is positioned to be inwardly recessed from an outer open end face of the counterbore.
