Patent ID: 8273014

Claim:
An endoscopic fluid control apparatus comprising: a cylinder which is attachable to an attachment part attached to an endoscope, and includes a first channel which transfers fluid to an insertion channel of the endoscope; a piston which is set on the cylinder and includes: a valve part configured to be moved relative to the cylinder between a first position where the first channel is open relative to the insertion channel and a second position where the first channel is closed relative to the insertion channel, a connection port part for connecting a fluid tube configured to transfer fluid, and a second channel which transfers the fluid from the connection port part to the insertion channel; an elastic member which holds the piston to be movable relative to the cylinder between the second position and the first position; a first engagement part which engages the piston and the elastic member with each other so as not to rotate about an axis of movement of the piston; and a second engagement part which engages the cylinder and the elastic member with each other so as not to rotate about an axis of movement of the cylinder; the elastic member having leak holes positioned and configured to communicate with an outside and the first channel through an inside of the elastic member, and the leak holes are substantially closed by folding the elastic member; the connection port part being positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the piston and protruding from an upper end part of the piston; the first engagement part being positioned on the piston and engaging with an upper end part of the elastic member; and the second engagement part being positioned on an upper end part of the cylinder and engaging with a lower end part of the elastic member; and a valve member which is provided on the piston and shuts off the second channel, wherein the first engagement part is formed by connecting the valve member and the elastic member to each other.
