<p>A liquid supply device for an endoscope comprises a connecting member detachably connectable to a connector (11) of the endoscope, a liquid supply tube (28) connected at one end to the connecting member and located at the other end in a liquid supply tank (5), and an air supply tube (27) connected at one end to the connecting member and at the other end to an air supply pump (4), causing pressure in the liquid supply tank to be increased by air from the air supply pump to permit the liquid within the tank to be sent to the liquid supply tube. A valve mechanism is provided in the connecting member and adapted to, when the connecting member is connected to the connector, connect the liquid supply tube (28) to a liquid supply passage of the endoscope and the air supply tube (27) to the air supply passage of the endoscope, and adapted to, when the connecting member is removed from the connector, shut off communication between the air supply tube and the air supply passage and then between the liquid supply tube and the liquid supply passage.</p> |
