MEDICAL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A medical apparatus comprising:
- a medical device;
a first support mechanism which has the medical device arranged therein and includes a turning portion that is turned around a predetermined rotation axis;
a second support mechanism which has the first support mechanism arranged therein and includes a support portion that supports the turning portion to allow the support portion to turn around the rotation axis of the first support mechanism; and
a resistance force generation mechanism which is provided between the turning portion of the first support mechanism and the support portion of the second support mechanism and produces a predetermined resistance force with respect to a relative turning motion of the turning portion and the support portion.

Abstract
A medical apparatus includes a medical device, a first support mechanism, a second support mechanism, and a resistance force generation mechanism. The first support mechanism has the medical device arranged therein, and a turning portion that is turned around a predetermined rotation axis. The second support mechanism has the first support mechanism arranged therein and includes a support portion that supports the turning portion to allow the support portion to turn around the rotation axis of the first support mechanism. The resistance force generation mechanism is provided between the turning portion of the first support mechanism and the support portion of the second support mechanism and produces a predetermined resistance force with respect to a relative turning motion of the turning portion and the support portion.

9. A medical apparatus comprising:
-
an inner ring in which a medical device is arranged on an inner side thereof; an outer ring in which the inner ring is arranged on an inner side thereof to allow the inner ring to turn or rotate; and a resistance force generation mechanism which restricts a turning or rotating motion of the inner ring with respect to the outer ring when this motion has a predetermined turning or rotating force or a smaller force, and allows the turning or rotating motion while restricting the same when this motion has the predetermined turning or rotating force or a larger force. - View Dependent Claims (10)
