Abstract
An endoscope ocular accessory mounting device comprises a mounting body provided at its forward end with a flanged section having a truncated conical cavity for mounting an ocular accessory on an endoscope ocular section. A pair of axially extending slits are formed in the peripheral wall diametrically facing each other across the circular flanged section. A cam plate is swingably fitted into each of the slits. This cam plate is so urged that its inner end cam surface is engaged with the truncated conical rear part of the endoscope ocular section. A pair of push rods penetrate the peripheral wall of a ring member surrounding the flanged section. Each push rod is urged radially to the outside of the ring member and provided with a release button at the outer end. Where the paired push rods are pushed, the inner end of each push rod pushes the outer end cam surface of the cam plate, causing the cam plate to be rotated out of a passage formed in the endoscope ocular section, and consequently enabling the mounting device to be released from the endoscope ocular section. The endoscope ocular accessory mounting device has a simple arrangement and can be operated quickly, easily and unfailingly substantially without failure and manufactured at low cost.
