  • LED illumination module
    Patent number: 10827916
    Abstract: A LED illumination module has at least one LED (6). At a proximal side there is a first electric connection contact (8) and at an axially oppositely directed distal side there is a second electrical connection contact (10) as well as a radiation region emitting radiation. The LED (6), at the second electrical connection contact (10), is contacted via an electrically conductive sleeve (14) which, distanced to the proximal end, is electrically conductively connected to the second connection contact (10) of the LED (6).

  • Endoscopic instrument with an LED illumination module
    Patent number: 10111577
    Abstract: An endoscopic instrument is provided with an LED illumination module having at least one LED arranged at the distal end of the instrument and having an electrical connection lead attached to this LED. The connection lead is a coaxial cable, which extends from the distal end to the proximal end of the instrument, and is designed for leading away the waste heat produced by the LED. At least one electrical conductor of the coaxial cable is connected to the LED in a heat-conducting manner.

  • Device for connecting an endoscope to an auxiliary apparatus
    Patent number: 5707340
    Abstract: There is disclosed a device which serves to connect an endoscope with an auxiliary apparatus, for example to a video camera, an objective or an ocular funnel. The device comprises a main body with a central recess for receiving the proximal end of the endoscope. Within the main body at least one lever is pivotably mounted, which juts into the central recess by an impinging spring force. This lever can be locked into the position in which it juts into the recess, by means of a clamping ring arranged on the main body.
