Electronic endoscope with laminated tube member

An electronic endoscope comprising:

• a flexible tube portion configuring an insertion portion extending from an operation portion;
• and
• a universal cable extending from a side of the operation portion,
• wherein the flexible tube portion and the universal cable each comprises a laminated tube member comprising:
• a conductive tube member;
• and
• an insulating cover covering the conductive tube member;
• wherein the electronic endoscope further comprises:
• a conductive corrugated tube connection member having a fixing hole, the fixing hole including a first installation hole in which the insulating cover of the laminated tube member is installed, and a second installation hole in which the conductive tube member, as an electrical connection portion, exposed by peeling the insulating cover is installed, wherein the laminated tube member inserted in the fixing hole is secured with an adhesive;
• and
• a conductive elastic member that is elastically deformable radially, electrically connects the electrical connection portion inserted in the second installation hole of the corrugated tube connection member to the corrugated tube connection member, and is configured to have an urging force for contacting an outer surface of the conductive tube member as the electrical connection portion with a predetermined pressing force and remove an adhesive applied on the electrical connection portion with the pressing force.
