PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope apparatus capable of finely adjusting a treatment tool raising stand up and down as well as right and left by a single structure, becoming in operation and enabling more complicated procedure.SOLUTION: In the endoscope apparatus having the endoscope insertion part inserted into the body cavity and constituted so that a treatment tool insertion channel permitting an endoscope treatment tool to insert is formed over the range from the tip of the endoscope insertion part to an endoscope operation part and the treatment tool raising stand 45, which controls the lead-out direction of the treatment tool guided from the treatment tool insertion channel, is arranged to the tip hard part constituting the tip of the endoscope insertion part, the treatment tool raising stand 45 has the base end part 59 supported on the tip hard part and the treatment tool guide piece 61 extending from the base end part 59 and abutting on the treatment tool to alter the lead-out direction of the treatment tool and a pair of operation wires 43 are connected to both sides of the treatment tool guide piece 61 on the tip side opposite to the base end part 59 of the treatment tool guide piece. A pair of the operation wires 43 respectively becomes independently free to advance and retreat.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡素な構造で処置具起立台を上下及び左右に微調整でき、操作が容易となるとともに、より複雑な処置を可能にできる内視鏡装置を提供する。【解決手段】体腔内に挿入される内視鏡挿入部を有し、内視鏡用の処置具を挿通する処置具挿通チャンネルが内視鏡挿入部の先端から内視鏡操作部にかけて形成され、内視鏡挿入部の先端を構成する先端硬性部に、処置具挿通チャンネルから導かれた処置具の導出方向を制御する処置具起立台45が配置された内視鏡装置であって、処置具起立台45が、先端硬性部に支持される基端部59と、基端部59から延設され処置具に当接して導出方向を変更する処置具誘導片61とを有し、処置具誘導片61の基端部59とは反対側の先端側両脇に一対の操作ワイヤ43が接続され、一対の操作ワイヤ43が、それぞれ独立に進退自在となる。【選択図】図5
