    Abstract: An insertion device sets engage range which it prescribed in return power to the neutral position by elastic force of the spring and rotation resistance force by the slide power by elastic member for dial portion performing curving operation of a curving portion. If a rotary angle is beyond an engage range, the dial part lets a rotary point of view to order return in an engage range and, if there is a rotary angle in an engage range, the dial part keeps a target part in an observation field of vision.

    Abstract translation: 插入装置通过弹簧的弹力将返回动力所设定的接合范围设定为通过由弯曲部进行弯曲操作的拨片部的弹性部件的滑动力产生的旋转阻力。 如果旋转角度超过啮合范围,则拨盘部分使旋转视角在接合范围内返回,并且如果在啮合范围内存在旋转角度,则拨盘部分将目标部分保持在观察场中 的视野。

    Abstract: A controller which controls an operation of a self-propelled mechanism of an endoscope includes an inspection control section, a usual control section, an endoscope connection detection circuit and a control switch section. The endoscope connection detection circuit detects that the endoscope has been connected. The control switch section determines whether or not the inspection operation is performed for the endoscope at the time of the connection of the endoscope, causes the usual control section to perform the usual operation when the inspection operation is performed, and causes the inspection control section to perform the inspection operation and then causes the usual control section to perform the usual operation when the inspection operation is not performed.
