DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
:
Referring now to the drawings, the reference numeral 11 designates a prior art endoscope having a pistol grip 12 and a pneumatic tube 13 connected to the scope at 14 and terminating in a flexible pneumatic bulb 16.
In operation of the prior art scope 11, eyepiece 17 is held close to the viewer's eye by grasping the pistol grip in one hand. In operating this prior art scope, a viewer must grope about with his free hand to locate the dangling bulb 16.
In contrast, a reference to Fig. 2 discloses an ~5 improved scope indicated generally at 18 having a pistol grip l9 formed with a recess 21 for receiving and supporting a pneumatic bulb 22.
A substantial portion 23 of the bulb extends beyond the pistol grip and extends beyond the cavity making it possible for the user of the scope to manipulate (compress or relax) the flexible bulb, as desired, using digits of the same hand with which one grasps the pistol grip.
While these elements do not figure prominently in `` 91~2;~2G6~1 the present invention, it is noted that the scope includes an eyepiece 24, a channel entry 26 for a retrieval instrument (not shown), and an operating button 27 for applying a vacuum to the region under examination through a separate conduit system.
Fig. 7 shows the face of the working end 15 of the scope of Fig. 2 including, typically, one or more channels for bundles 30-30 of light transmitting fiber optics, a channel for an image bundle 35, a combined insufflation-irrigation channel 40 and vacuum or biopsy channel 45.
Note that all valves disclosed are of the ball check variety held normally closed or open, as the case may be, by a spring such as a coil spring in well-known fashion.
Obviously the selection of check valve structure is purely a matter of engineering choice which can be made freely without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
Referring now to Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6, the valve and conduit system operates as follows:
Assume that the bulb 22 is in the normal extended condition filled with air. In this condition, check valve 28 is normally closed to the atmosphere.
Upon manual compression of the bulb 22, air pressure opens normally closed check valve 29 and air flows through conduit 20 introducing air under pressure into shaft 31 and exhausting at shaft face 15 through channel 40 (Figs. 2, 3 and 7). Note that check valve 32 is normally closed blocking passage of air through conduit 2S leading to a syringe socket 34 (Figs. 2 and 4).
Upon relaxation of the bulb 22, check valve 29 returns to its normally closed position and the natural tendency for the bulb to draw a vacuum opens check ~z~æ~6~
valve 28 introducing a new volume of air into the bulb.
Sequential compression and relaxation of the bulb will "pump" air to the shaft face 15, as desired.
In the event it is desired to introduce fluid into the shaft 31 for irrigation or purging at the face 15, a conventional syringe 33, loaded with suitable fluid, is introduced into syringe socket 34. Upon pumping the syringe, fluid flows through conduit 25, normally closed check valve 32 is blown open and fluid backs into conduit 20 up to normally closed valve 29 and flow occurs through conduit 20 and discharges at the face 15 of the shaft 31 through channel 40. (See Figs~ 4, 6 and 7.) If desiredl the fluid introduced by the syringe 33 may be pressurized beyond that created by the syringe by merely actuating the pneumatic bulb 22 in the fashion previously described.
That is, with a charge of fluid introduced into the conduit 20, removal of the syringe permits check valve 32 to return to its normally closed position retaining the ~luid in the system. Therea~ter, compression of bulb 22 applies air pressure to conduit 20 and to the fluid within bringing about irrigation or purging at the face 15 of shaft 31 exhausting through channel 40.
Fluid is removed by appl~ing a vacuum to conduit 55 ~Fig. 3). The vacuum is derived from a remote vacuum pump (not shown) through conduit 46 and is applied by depressing vacuum operating button 27 drawing a vacuum through conduit 55 and conduit 46; conduit 55 is sealed to the atmosphere by a check valve at 26 (not shown).
It is anticipated that a wide variety of embodiments of this invention may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
The present invention relates to diagnostic devices and in particular t:o endoscopes that are useful to make examinations, inspections and retrievals in remote internal locations in medical and veterinary situations.
