Publication number: 20230233067Abstract: A sliding motion transfer member (22) for the kinematic chain of an actuator mechanism of an endoscope. The sliding motion transfer member (22) has a proximal end and a distal end (21). The sliding motion transfer member (22) is adapted to receive motion activation input and to move in a sliding manner in response to said motion activation input, thereby transferring motion to an elongate motion transmission member (27) extending from the distal end (21) of the sliding motion transfer member (20). The sliding motion transfer member (22) comprises a first passage (36) adapted for receiving a proximal section of said elongate motion transmission member (20) and an adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: AMBU A/SInventors: Jesper Grøndahl LUND, Tan Xian WEI, Ilona DILLINGER

Publication number: 20230148844Abstract: An endoscope including steering and braking mechanisms. The braking mechanism includes a manually operable braking control element, a friction element which is axially translatable along a control axis to engage or disengage with the steering mechanism, and a cam pairing transmitting force between the braking control element and the friction element and transforming the braking input into an axial translation of the friction element. The cam pairing has a cam surface and a cam axially contacting the cam surface. The cam surface forms a first ramp section for translating the friction element from a first braking position to an intermediate braking position, a second ramp section for translating it from the intermediate braking position to a second braking position, and an intermediate section forming a tactile structure arranged between the first ramp section and the second ramp section and defining the intermediate braking position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Martin Johst CHRISTENSEN, Jesper Grøndahl LUND, Martin Refslund NIELSEN
