  • Publication number: 20240172927
    Abstract: A bending portion of an endoscope according to the disclosure includes: a plurality of bending pieces rotatably coupled to each other by a coupling fastener; a wire configured to transmit a traction operating force to a first bending piece included in the plurality of bending pieces; and a pin located in a first hole in the first bending piece, the pin connecting the wire to the first bending piece, a first end portion of the pin protruding from an outer circumference of the first bending piece, a second end portion of the pin protruding from an inner circumference of the first bending piece, a third portion of the pin contacts a surface of the first hole. A first width dimension of the first end portion is larger than an opening dimension of the first hole, the wire is attached to the second end portion.

  • Patent number: 10376944
    Abstract: Provided is a pipe joining body in which a wire rod and a tubular member are joined. The wire rod includes a concave portion formed by plastically deforming a part of an outer periphery of the wire rod. The tubular member includes a deformed portion that is formed so as to enter the concave portion by inserting the wire rod into the tubular member and by pressing a portion of the tubular member covering the concave portion toward the concave portion to plastically deform the portion. A maximum displacement amount of the tubular member when the deformed portion is formed is not larger than a maximum displacement amount of the wire rod by the plastic deformation when the concave portion is formed. The concave portion is formed by bringing a mold having a convex surface into contact with the part of the outer periphery of the wire rod to press.

  • Publication number: 20160192919
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a treatment tool is provided. The treatment tool includes: a function body having an elastic wire formed of a wire material made of a super-elastic material and having a predetermined shape, and a fixing portion having an insertion hole into which the elastic wire is insertable to house a proximal end portion of the elastic wire in the insertion hole; a tube portion configured to house the function body; and an operation unit configured to insert and remove the function body into and from the tube portion. The method includes: inserting the proximal end portion of the elastic wire into the insertion hole of the fixing portion; forming, at the proximal end portion of the elastic wire, an engagement portion for engaging with the insertion hole of the fixing portion; and fixing the proximal end portion of the elastic wire to the fixing portion.
