2. Description of the Related Art A tip hood protruding forward from a tip body has an important function of securing the closest distance between an observation window and a subject in a forward-looking endoscope or the like. Generally, it is formed in a cylindrical shape corresponding to the columnar cross-sectional shape of the tip end body.

There are mainly two types of endoscope observation visual field shapes, a circular shape and a rectangular shape. In the case of a rectangular shape, the viewing angle in the opposite side direction and the diagonal direction is different. It is significantly different, and it is necessary to prevent the observation visual field from being obstructed by the tip hood in the diagonal direction where the viewing angle is wide.

[0004] For this reason, the length of the distal end hood cannot be sufficiently ensured, and there are many cases where the observation window is too close to the subject during close-up observation and only indistinct observation can be performed. However, if the tip hood is extended, the diagonal direction of the rectangular observation field is blocked by the tip hood, and the field of view becomes narrow.
