Abstract
The endoscopic device includes a main member having a front slot and a shaft member having a spiral strip selectively running through the slot. The spiral strip is connected to a rotational element whose front end is provided with an optical element. A camera support element is extended from the main member and a camera element is supported by the camera support element. By running the spiral strip through the slot to turn the rotational element and the optical element, a viewing direction of the camera element is altered by the optical element.

- a main member having a through slot on a front side;
- a shaft member housed in the main member comprising a spiral strip extended axially inside the main member and selectively moved through the slot;
- a camera support element whose back section is sleeved over a front section of the main member;
- a camera element joined to a front end of the camera support element;
- a rotational element whose back end is joined to a front end of the spiral strip, where, when the spiral strip is extended through the slot, the rotation element is turned by the spiral strip;
