  • Patent number: 7540647
    Abstract: A medical inspection device. A housing includes a transparent plate. A circuit board is disposed in the housing. At least one light-emitting element is disposed on and electrically connected to the circuit board. The light-emitting element is opposite to the transparent plate. Light from the light-emitting element is output to the exterior of the housing through the transparent plate. An image sensor is disposed on and electrically connected to the circuit board. The image sensor is opposite to the transparent plate. An image in the exterior of the housing is received by the image sensor through the transparent plate and converted into an image signal thereby. A grip is detachably connected to the housing. A signal transmission line is detachably connected to the circuit board and fit in the grip and extends to the exterior of the grip, outputting the image signal.

  • Patent number: 7460754
    Abstract: A medical inspection device. A housing includes a transparent plate and a first opening. A reflective layer is formed in the housing and opposes the transparent plate. The first opening is between the reflective layer and the transparent plate. A grip is connected to the first opening and extends in the exterior of the housing. An optical fiber bundle is connected to the first opening and disposed in the grip. The optical fiber bundle extends to the exterior of the grip and outputs light into the housing. The light is output to the exterior of the housing by reflection of the reflective layer and through the transparent plate. An image outside the housing is received by the optical fiber bundle through the transparent plate and by reflection of the reflective layer.
