A gripping device for an endoscope insertion tube utilizing first and second arms that are hingedly attached to one another. Each arm includes an opening to accommodate the insertion tube of an endoscope such that the endoscope insertion tube spans both arms. First and second jaws are associated with first and second arms and are positioned in opposition to one another. The movement of the arms toward one another causes the jaws to engage the insertion tube which is guided through the arms by the apertures found in the arms.本發明係關於一種用於一內診鏡插入管的夾持工具,該夾持工具係利用彼此樞轉地附接的第一及第二臂。各臂包含一開口以容納一內診鏡之插入管使得該內診鏡插入管跨越兩臂。第一及第二夾爪係與第一及第二臂相關聯並彼此相對而定位。該等臂朝向彼此移動造成該等夾爪接合該插入管,其中該插入管係藉由該等臂中存在之孔徑而引導通過該等臂。10...夾持工具12...插入管14...第一臂16...第二臂22...樞紐24...方向箭頭26...方向箭頭28...軸30...槽型接收座32...圓形頭部或舌36...樞轉銷38...夾爪40...夾爪
