    Abstract: An endoscope cover includes: a cylindrical cover main body that is to be attached to a distal framing portion along a longitudinal axis of an insertion section, and that includes an annular portion which is to cover part of an outer periphery of the distal framing portion; and a fragile portion, at least part of which is provided on the annular portion of the cover main body. The cover main body is spaced apart from at least part of the distal framing portion, and forms a gap between the cover main body and the distal framing portion. The fragile portion is broken under application of an intended stress and configured to have a user recognize breakage of the fragile portion in cooperation with the gap.

    Abstract: An endoscope includes: a rigid distal structure portion; a rotational portion; an exterior member; a bearing opposed to the exterior member and recessed from an outer surface of the distal structure portion, the bearing being; and a preventing portion. The bearing is configured to receive and support the rotational shaft and to displace the rotational shaft from the distal structure portion by the exterior member being removed from the distal structure portion. The preventing portion provided on one of the rotational portion and the distal structure portion, and configured to prevent disengagement of the rotational portion by coming in contact with the other of the rotational portion and the distal structure portion when the rotational shaft is displaced from the bearing.

    Abstract: An endoscope cover includes a cover main body, a fragile portion, and a buffer portion. The cover main body includes a window and an annular portion. The window opens in a radial direction of a longitudinal axis of an insertion section. The annular portion is provided on a proximal side of the window along the longitudinal axis of the insertion section and surrounding the distal framing portion. The fragile portion is provided at a position on the annular portion which is adjacent to the window. The buffer portion is provided on the cover main body. The buffer portion includes an end portion. The end portion of the buffer portion is configured to reduce a force exerted from the distal side of the fragile portion onto the fragile portion along the longitudinal axis.

    Abstract: An assist device includes: a connecting section communicatively connected to the channel; a holding section attached to an outer side of either the insertion section of the endoscope or an operation section connected to the insertion section; and a flexible section forming an insertion path through which the treatment instrument is inserted, and including an expansion-and-contraction section including a more deformable structure than any other parts in an entire length between one end and another end of the flexible section. The flexible section is connected to the connecting section at the one end and connected to the holding section at the another end.

    Abstract: A washing instrument for an insertion device performs positioning of a distal portion by an axial direction regulating portion provided in a cylindrical hollow washing instrument main body and abutting on the distal portion of the insertion device, and a rotating direction regulating portion facing an observation surface of the insertion device, thereby attaching the insertion device. A raised distal portion of a swing base received in a receiving chamber of the distal portion abuts on a projecting locking portion provided on an inner peripheral surface between the washing ports, the locking portion and the axial direction regulating portion hold a positioned state of the distal portion, and washing liquids jetting out from the washing ports directly collide with washing target regions of the receiving chamber to perform washing.
