求される。[Technical Background of the Invention and Problems Thereof] With the expansion of the field of ultrasonic diagnosis in recent years, ultrasonic probes having a shape according to the site and application are used, and there are dozens of types. This is especially true for intraoperative probes, and in brain surgery etc., it is necessary to insert a probe from under the nose to see the brain, and a probe with a fairly long handle is required. Is required.
このため、用途に応じて長さの異なる複数のプローブを
用意しなければならず、また、部位によって筒状のも
の、あるいはピストル型のもの等形状の異なるものを用
意しなければならないため、作業性が悪く、かつ、不経
済であるという問題があった。For this reason, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of probes having different lengths according to the application, and it is necessary to prepare a cylindrical one or a pistol-shaped one having a different shape depending on the site. There was a problem that it was poor in nature and was uneconomical.
［発明の目的］ 本発明は前記事情に鑑みて成されたものであり、多くの

の目印である。FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
Is a probe head including an ultrasonic transducer, 2 is a cable connected to the probe head and is connected to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body, and 3 is a handle as a cable holding member. The handle 3 also has a function as a grip portion of the probe. The handle 3 is an arc-shaped holding portion 3 for holding the cable 2.
c is formed on the first divided block 3a, and the second divided block 3a of the first divided block 3a is detachable from the arc-shaped portion 3c.
And a divided block 3b, and is configured to be a pistol type when they are engaged with each other so as to cover the cable 2. Engagement in this case is performed, for example, by forming each block with a synthetic resin and fitting it by a pressing force using the elasticity of the synthetic resin. Reference numeral 4 is a mark for positioning when the probe head 1 and the holding member 3 are assembled.
第２図は本発明の他の実施例に用いられる保持部材の他
