  • Publication number: 20090012365
    Abstract: A driving source unit is detachably coupled to a large-diameter section on a proximal end side of a scope section. When the driving source unit and the large-diameter section are coupled, working shafts of the large-diameter section are engaged with driving shafts of the driving source unit, and the driving shafts linearly move on the basis of a driving force that is generated from driving motor of the driving source unit. One of the working shafts is moved in accordance with the linear movement of the driving shafts. The movement of one of the working shafts, which is moved by the driving shaft, is transmitted via a pinion gear to the other working shaft in a direction opposite to a direction of the movement of the one working shaft. A bend operation wire is pulled by the movement of the working shaft that moves and a bending section is bent.
