PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope device in which an attachable member can be easily attached and detached to and from a distal end of the endoscope and the attachable member is reliably fixed to the distal end of the endoscope.SOLUTION: Suction ports 27 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end 21 of the endoscope. The suction ports 27 are connected to an inlet port formed on the terminal end of the endoscope, and the suction ports 27 and the inlet port are connected to one another by a hermetical continuation piping 28. A cylindrical hood 41 is attached to the distal end 21 of the endoscope so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the distal end 21 of the endoscope. When the inside of the continuation piping 28 is depressurized by the suction pump connected to the inlet port, the hood 41 is closely attached so as to suck the suction ports 27 of the distal end 21 of the endoscope, and is fixed to the distal end 21 of the endoscope.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】内視鏡先端部への装着部材の着脱を容易にし,さらに装着部材の内視鏡先端部への確実な固定を実現する。【解決手段】内視鏡先端部21の外周面に吸引口27が形成されている。吸引口27は内視鏡末端部に形成された吸入口につながっており,吸引口27と吸入口との間は気密の連通管路28にでつながっている。内視鏡先端部21の外周面を覆うようにして内視鏡先端部21に円筒状のフード41が装着される。吸入口に接続される吸引ポンプによって連通管路28内を減圧すると,フード41は内視鏡先端部21の吸引口27に吸付くようにして密着し,内視鏡先端部21に固定される。【選択図】図4
