Abstract

See full text

The present invention deals with an endoscope comprising an everting tube including a radially outer portion and a radially inner portion. The everting tube surrounds at least partly an endoscope shaft. Longitudinal guiding means which are engaged with each other are formed at each of the endoscope shaft and the everting tube. One of the longitudinal guiding means can be designed such that it forms an undercut, whereas the other is correspondingly shaped so that both longitudinal guiding means are in sliding engagement with each other. Moreover, the longitudinal guiding means can be, on the one hand, in the form of a continuous conveyor disposed at the endoscope shaft and, on the other hand, in the form of an engaging means disposed at the everting tube, which are engaged with each other.
