PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wiping device for an endoscope lens, which can be inserted and withdrawn quickly, and can wipe off a stain with strong adhesive force adhered to a lens surface.SOLUTION: A wiping device comprises: a long body 2 which can be inserted into an insertion channel an operated member 3 operated in a storage state and an expansion state a wiping body 4 provided in the operated member 3 and an operation member for operating the operated member 3. The operated member 3 is configured to be bendable and extendable, and comprises a plurality of bent parts 31a, 31b, 31c provided along an axial direction. The bent parts 31a, 31b, 31c are bent and expanded by applying pressing operation to the operated member 3 to a tip side of the long body 2 with the operation member. By pulling the operated member 3 in the expansion state to a base end side of the long body 2 with the operation member, the operated member 3 is stored in the long body 2 in a linear state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】迅速に挿入、引き抜きが可能であり、レンズ表面に付着した粘着力の強い汚れを拭き取ることが可能な内視鏡レンズ用清拭デバイスの提供を目的とする。【解決手段】本発明の清拭デバイスは、挿通チャネルに挿入可能な長尺体2と、格納状態と拡開状態とに操作される被操作部材3と、被操作部材3に設けられる清拭体4と、被操作部材3を操作する操作部材とを備え、被操作部材3が、屈曲および伸長可能に構成され、軸方向に沿って複数設けられた屈曲部31a、31b、31cを備え、被操作部材3に、操作部材により長尺体2先端側に押圧操作を加えることにより屈曲部31a、31b、31cが屈曲して、拡開状態となり、拡開状態にある被操作部材3に、操作部材により長尺体2基端側に引き操作することにより、被操作部材3が長尺体2内に線状に格納されることを特徴とする。【選択図】図2
