Abstract
An endoscope includes a connecting assembly for connecting a syringe, for supplying a supplementary fluid to an orifice, formed on a distal end portion of an insertion portion. The connecting assembly comprises a hollow mount member which is formed to extend from a periphery portion of an opening formed on a housing of the operation portion of the endoscope, and a shoulder is formed on the outer peripheral surface. In addition, a block, having a cavity, an inlet, and an outlet for serially connecting the cavity in a fluid supply path extended to the orifice, is received in the housing. A distal end of the mount piece on which the syringe can be mounted is inserted into the cavity of the block via the mount member. A locking member having an arm is mounted on the mount member by causing the arm to be abutted on the inner side of the shoulder. The mount piece is securely retained inside the mount member by threadably fixing a support member to the locking member.
