20140316194 | ENDOSCOPE WITH A RIGID CURVED SHAFT AS WELL AS PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SUCH AN ENDOSCOPE - An endoscope is provided, with a main body and a rigid shaft, extending from the main body, which has a first section which extends in a rectilinear manner, a curved second section adjoining it and a third section, adjoining the second section, which forms a distal end of the shaft. The shaft includes, for receiving an instrument, a one-piece instrument tube which extends to the distal end of the shaft and has an open end there, and an optics module by means of which an image of an area in front of the distal end of the shaft can be recorded. A cladding tube extending from the main body to the distal end is provided, in which the instrument tube and the optics module are arranged, and which includes a rectilinear part for the first section and a curved part, connected to the rectilinear part, for the second section. | 10-23-2014 |
20130267778 | PROTECTIVE SLEEVE FOR AN ENDOSCOPE HAVING AN ENDOSCOPE TUBE - A protective sleeve for an endoscope having an endoscope tube is provided. The protective sleeve of certain embodiments can include a tubular main body for holding a distal section of the endoscope tube. The main body has an open proximal end and a cover glass at the distal end. The cover glass has a spherically curved, concave inside, a spherically curved, convex outside and a constant thickness. | 10-10-2013 |
20120271112 | ENDOSCOPE WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OF VIEW - An endoscope with a variable direction of view is provided, which includes an endoscope shaft and imaging optics arranged inside the endoscope shaft. These image an object located before the distal end of the endoscope and produce an image of the object in the proximal area of the endoscope in which a field stop is arranged. The produced image is larger than the field stop. In the proximal area of the endoscope an image module is arranged with which the relative position between the produced image and the field stop can be changed for changing the section of the produced image visible after the field stop in order to change the direction of view of the endoscope. | 10-25-2012 |
20120265018 | ENDOSCOPE - An endoscope is provided, with a first tube, a cover glass arranged at the distal end of the first tube, as well as with imaging optics, arranged in the first tube, which image an object located in front of the cover glass as an image, wherein the cover glass has a spherically curved, concave inside, a spherically curved, convex outside, and a constant thickness. | 10-18-2012 |
20120265017 | ENDOSCOPE WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OF VIEW - An endoscope includes a handle and a shaft connected thereto. Imaging optics are arranged in the shaft that image an object located in the direction of view of the imaging optics in front of the shaft as an image and which to set the desired direction of view. The imaging optics comprise a swivellably housed deflecting unit positioned at the distal end of the shaft facing away from the handle. The possible swivel range of the imaging optics has a first and a second limit, as well as an actuating element, which is attached to the handle and which is mechanically connected to the deflecting unit. Thereby the swivel position of the deflecting unit within the swivel range can be changed in order to set a desired direction of view. A first mechanical stop is provided against which the deflecting unit lies when the first limit is reached. | 10-18-2012 |
20120078049 | ENDOSCOPE WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OF VIEW - Provided is an endoscope with a handle, an endoscope shaft connected to the handle, and imaging optics arranged in the endoscope shaft. An object can be located in the direction of view of the imaging optics in front of the endoscope shaft. The endoscope may also include a swivellably housed deflecting element that sets the desired direction of view. The deflecting element can be positioned at the distal end of the endoscope shaft facing away from the handle. An actuating element can be attached to the handle, which is mechanically connected to the deflecting element, and with which the swivel position of the deflecting element can be changed in order to set a desired direction of view. | 03-29-2012 |
20120078048 | ENDOSCOPE WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OF VIEW - Provided is an endoscope with a handle, an endoscope shaft connected to the handle, and imaging optics arranged in the endoscope shaft. An object can be located in the direction of view of the imaging optics in front of the endoscope shaft. The endoscope may also include a swivellably housed deflecting element that sets the desired direction of view. The deflecting element can be positioned at the distal end of the endoscope shaft facing away from the handle. An actuating element can be attached to the handle, which is mechanically connected to the deflecting element, and with which the swivel position of the deflecting element can be changed in order to set a desired direction of view. | 03-29-2012 |
20110208001 | ENDOSCOPE - Provided is an endoscope with a handle and an endoscope shaft connected to the handle, which has a bendable section and a rigid section, adjoining it, with a support extending in the longitudinal direction of the endoscope shaft, wherein the bendable section has a flexible outer tube the end of which facing the rigid section rests on the support, wherein a fixing sleeve is connected to the end section and covers the end of the outer tube facing the rigid section such that said end is clamped for fixing between the fixing sleeve and the support. | 08-25-2011 |
20100268032 | ENDOSCOPE WITH AN ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM - An endoscope is provided, comprising a first tube ( | 10-21-2010 |
20100160734 | Endoscope having an endoscope shaft, in which an imaging optics is situated at the distal end thereof - An endoscope having an endoscope shaft is provided, which has an observation opening on its distal end, which is hermetically sealed using a transparent cover, and having an imaging optic, comprising multiple optic elements, which is situated inside the endoscope shaft in the area of its distal end spaced apart from the cover, a sealing ring being provided, which seals an area between the cover and the optic element of the imaging optic closest to the cover in relation to the remaining inner chamber of the endoscope shaft. | 06-24-2010 |
20100081999 | SYRINGE, IN PARTICULAR FOR VETERINARY-MEDICINE APPLICATIONS - A syringe for veterinary-medicine applications has a main body with a syringe cylinder whose discharge-side end is connected to a cannula and in which a piston connected to a piston rod is situated so it is displaceable. The syringe includes a protective module including protective cap and a securing element. The protective cap is mounted so it is displaceable on the main body, which receives the cannula in its first terminal position so that the front end thereof does not protrude from the protective cap. The securing element can be moved from a first securing position into a second securing position and then into a third securing position. The securing element releases a locking of the piston rod relative to displacements, so that the piston can be moved in the syringe cylinder in the direction toward the discharge-side end using the piston rod. | 04-01-2010 |
20090137966 | SYRINGE - A syringe is provided, comprising a syringe body, a plunger rod, which is guided in the syringe body in a longitudinally displaceable manner, and a grip area which includes a finger portion formed on the syringe body and a thumb portion formed at the rear end of the plunger rod, the grip area being at least partially provided with a friction coating which consists of a different material than the grip area. | 05-28-2009 |
