PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope apparatus with a tip of a linear member fixed to a support member easily and surely.SOLUTION: An endoscope apparatus 1 comprises a long insertion part 10 having a bendable bending part. The bending part has a support member 31 that is formed in a cylindrical shape and is arranged on a tip side of the bending part and to which a tip of a linear member 51 for applying a bending operation to the bending part is fixed. On an inner peripheral surface of the support member, a projection part 37 projecting to a duct line side of the support member is formed. The support member and the projection part press the tip of the linear member in the form of interposing it in a radial direction and plastically deform it. Accordingly, the tip of the linear member is fixed to the support member and the projection part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】支持部材に線状部材の先端部を簡単かつ確実に固定した内視鏡装置を提供する。【解決手段】湾曲可能な湾曲部を有する長尺な挿入部10を備える内視鏡装置1であって、湾曲部は、管状に形成されて湾曲部の先端側に配置され、湾曲部を湾曲操作するための線状部材51の先端部が固定された支持部材31を有し、支持部材の内周面には、支持部材の管路側に突出する突出部37が形成され、支持部材および突出部が線状部材の先端部を線状部材を径方向に挟むように押圧して塑性変形することで、支持部材および突出部に線状部材の先端部が固定されている。【選択図】図4
