PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insertion device which has a simple structure, does not enlarge an operation part, and can more reliably hold a fixed state of a linear member provided for an insertion part with a small operation force, and an endoscope.SOLUTION: An endoscope 2 has a linear member fixing mechanism 100 provided for an operation part 3. The linear member fixing mechanism 100 has: a slide member 101 two moving members 102 which are placed opposite two braking pieces 41, move reciprocally between a state that they are in contact with the braking pieces 41 in the direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide member 101 and a state that they are away from the braking pieces 41 as the slide member 101 moves reciprocally and in which a length in a longitudinal axis direction S of the insertion part 4 is longer than a movement length the braking pieces 41 moves and two first elastic members 103 which are provided on surfaces opposite the respective braking pieces 41 in the respective two moving members 102 and are in contact with the corresponding braking pieces 41 according to reciprocal movements of the respective moving members 102.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単な構成で、操作部を大型化することなく、小さな操作力量で挿入部に設けられた線状部材の固定状態をより確実に保持することができる挿入機器及び内視鏡を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の内視鏡2は、操作部3に設けられた線状部材固定機構100を有する。この線状部材固定機構100は、摺動部材101と、2つの制動片41と対向する位置に配置されるとともに、摺動部材101の往復運動に伴って、摺動部材101の移動方向に直交する方向に制動片41と接する状態と制動片41と離間した状態との間で往復運動する、挿入部4の長手軸方向Sの長さが、制動片41が移動する移動長さよりも長い2つの移動部材102と、2つの移動部材102のそれぞれにおいて、各制動片41と対向する面に設けられ、各移動部材102の往復運動により対応する制動片41と接する2つの第1の弾性部材103と、を有する。【選択図】図8
