INSPECTION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection device for improving operability and working efficiency. SOLUTION: The inspection device 2 has a pipe body 3 comprising a housing 51, a base section 4, and a telescopic pipe 5 that is stored in the base section 4, telescoped, and locked at a desired length. At the tip of the telescopic pipe 5 of the pipe body 3 is provided with a camera 20 that is rockably attached, capable of being snap-returned by a spring 27 and displays an inspection portion. The housing 51 is provided with a wire telescopic mechanism 50 that extends the other end of a wire 30 of which one end is connected to the camera 20 side to a grip section 4, winds the other end of the wire 30 while a tension smaller than the snapping force of the spring 27 is kept, and performs the feeding and winding in response to the telescoping of the pipe body 3. The housing 51 is provided with locking mechanisms 58 and 60 for locking the feed of the wire 30. The base section 4 has a rockable operation lever 70 in which the wire 30 is inserted and that freely adjusts the angle of the camera 20 by rocking operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
