Patent number: 6425292Abstract: A discharge pressure measuring device is provided with a discharge pressure measuring system that measures a discharge pressure of the air discharged from a discharging end of an air supplying tube provided to an endoscope. The air discharged by the discharging end is directed to a pressure sensing portion of the discharging pressure measuring system through a pipe. A circuitry for obtaining a voltage representing a true discharge pressure based on a voltage output by the discharge pressure measuring member is provided. A positional relationship of the air discharge portion of the pipe with respect to the pressure sensing portion is changeable.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Asahi Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoshi Takami, Junji Usami, Hidehito Kurosawa

Patent number: 5488509Abstract: A light source apparatus for an endoscope having a light source for emitting a bundle of illuminating light rays which are to be supplied to a light guide of the endoscope. The apparatus includes at least a pair of light-blocking plates disposed in the bundle of illuminating light rays to face each other across the optical axis of the ray bundle, and a device for supporting the light-blocking plates such that the plates are rotatable about an axis extending therebetween at right angles to the optical axis. At least one of the light-blocking plates has such a cross-sectional configuration as viewed in the optical axis direction that the light-blocking plate is bent at an angle to the axis of rotation near the center of the illuminating optical path.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1994Date of Patent: January 30, 1996Assignee: Asahi Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tadashi Takahashi, Tetsuya Utsui, Rensuke Adachi, Mitsuru Iida, Katsuhiko Furuya, Junji Usami, Ryoji Honda
