Abstract

An endoscope connector device comprises: a first cable of an endoscope, including a light guide for supplying illumination light and an electric wire for obtaining video signals from an image pickup device; a light guide connector connected to the first cable; and a second cable of the endoscope, including the electric wire led out of the light guide connector wherein the second cable is attached diagonally from the light guide connector at an angle θ within a range, of 0°<θ<90° from a first cable side of an axial direction of the first cable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An endoscope cable lead-out unit for leading-out a cable from a main body, comprising:
 an outer sheath that includes a synthetic resin and is formed so as to project in a cable lead-out direction from the main body;   a metallic lead-out part frame for retaining and fixing a cable or components of the cable, arranged inside the outer sheath while engaging with a base end side of the outer sheath; and   a presser ring that is screwed and coupled to the lead-out part frame and engages a the distal end side of the outer sheath in this screw-coupled state,   wherein the outer sheath is nipped by the, presser ring and the lead-out part frame.   
     
     
         2 . The endoscope cable lead-out unit according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the lead-out part frame comprises:   a first frame adjacent to the main body side; and   a second frame that is detachably attached to the first frame by a latching unit and retains and fixes the cable or components of the cable,   wherein the presser ring is arranged on the second frame.   
     
     
         3 . The endoscope cable lead-out unit according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the main body is a light guide connector that connects a first cable including: a light guide for illumination light supply; and an, electric wire for video signal transmission to a light source unit,   wherein the endoscope cable lead-out unit is applied to a lead-out part of the light guide connector from which a second cable for linking the electric wire from the light guide connector to a processor unit is led out diagonally rearward from the light guide connector that is connected to the light source unit while facing a front panel of the light source unit.
