Tip Part For A Vision Device

A vision device comprising:

• an insertion tube;
• an articulated bending section connected to the insertion tube, the articulated bending section including segments including a distal end segment;
• and
• a tip part affixed to, and extending distally from, the distal end segment of the articulated bending section, the tip part including:
• an electronic vision receptor;
• a lens assembly positioned distally of, and longitudinally aligned with, the electronic vision receptor;
• a light emitting diode;
• a housing accommodating the light emitting diode, the lens assembly and the electronic vision receptor, the housing comprising a window including a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface;
• and
• a light guide molded in one-piece with the window and extending proximally from the proximal surface of the window, the light guide being positioned aside from the lens assembly, the light guide including an expanding sector and a light reception end adjacent to the light emitting diode and configured to receive light emanated therefrom, the expanding sector comprising cross-sectional areas that increase in size in a direction from the light reception end toward the window.
