PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope in which a curved portion and a flexible portion of an insertion portion are firmly joined in a separable manner. A piece (20) on the flexible portion side of a bending portion (11) and a connecting ring (29) of the flexible portion (12) are connected to each other by a clip (200) and a pin (201), and the piece (20) has a cut portion extending in an axial direction from an end of the piece (20). A notch 217 is provided, and the clip 200 is detachably attached to the fitted piece 20 and the connecting ring 29, and the piece 20 and the connecting piece 29 are connected to each other with respect to the relative movement of the piece 20 and the connecting ring 29 in the axial direction. The pin 201 is axially engaged with each of the rings 29 and fixed to the connection ring 29. When the pin 20 and the connection ring 29 are fitted to each other, the pin 201 enters the notch 217 and connects the piece 20 and the connection ring 29. With respect to the relative rotation about the axis of and, the pieces 20 and the connection ring 29 are engaged with each other in the rotational direction. [Selection diagram] Fig. 26【課題】挿入部の湾曲部と軟性部とが分離可能に強固に接合された内視鏡を提供する。【解決手段】湾曲部11の軟性部側の駒20と軟性部12の接続環29とは、クリップ200及びピン201によって互いに連結され、駒20には、駒20の端から軸方向に延びる切り欠217きが設けられており、クリップ200は、嵌合された駒20及び接続環29に着脱可能に装着され、駒20と接続環29との軸方向の相対移動に対して駒20及び接続環29の各々と軸方向に係合し、ピン201は、接続環29に固着されており、駒20と接続環29との嵌合に伴い切り欠き217に進入し、駒20と接続環29との軸まわりの相対回転に対して駒20及び接続環29の各々と回転方向に係合する。【選択図】図26
