PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical equipment holding device which enables medical equipment to be freely advancing/receding in a longitudinal direction and to be freely rotatable around a longitudinal axis, and which enables the medical equipment not to be automatically moved to an unintended position, when a persons hand gripping the medical equipment is separated from the medical equipment.SOLUTION: The outer peripheral surface of a holding portion 48a provided in an operation section 34a of the medical equipment is brought into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical member 47a attached on the inner surface of a ring 46a constituting a mounting section 16A, so as to form a movement regulation portion 44a that holds the medical equipment so that the medical equipment cannot be automatically moved by its gravitational force, when the persons hand gripping the operation section 34a is separated from the operation section 34a, by holding force utilizing friction acting between both surfaces in a pressure contact state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】医療機器を長手方向に進退自在かつ長手方向の軸の回りで回転自在に保持でき、かつ医療機器を把持する手を離した場合、医療機器が意図しない位置に勝手に移動しないように保持することができる医療機器保持装置を提供する。【解決手段】装着部16Aを構成するリング46aの内面に取り付けられた円筒部材47aの内周表面に保持対象の医療機器の操作部34aに設けた保持部48aの外周表面が圧接するようにし、圧接した際の両表面間に作用する摩擦を利用した保持力により、操作部34aから把持した手を離した場合、医療機器がその重力により勝手に移動しないように保持する移動規制部44aを形成した。【選択図】図3
