Patent ID: 10537231

Abstract:
An endoscopic instrument including first, second and third portions, a first main hinge with a first main-hinge part, a further first main-hinge part and a first sub-hinge, a second main hinge with a second main-hinge part, a further second main-hinge part and a second sub-hinge, and a rigid main pressure rod. The first and second portions are connected via the first main hinge, such that the first and second portions can be angled. The first and third portions are connected via the second main hinge such that the first and third portions can be angled. The main pressure rod is coupled to the first and second sub-hinges, so that displacement of the first main hinge by angling the second portion relative to the first portion transmits a force, via the main pressure rod, to the second main hinge and causes an angling of the third portion relative to the first portion.
