Means of Solving the Problem: The main body (11) of a device (10) for fixing a protective cover (25) on an endoscope (30) in a state which prevents slippage is formed from a base (16) and an engaging piece (17) and an engaged piece (18) which extend from the sides of the base (16) and the ends of which can engage with each other by bending the base (11). Moreover, an insertion hole (13) is placed in the boundary part between the base (16) and the engaging piece (17) and an insertion hole (12) is placed in the boundary part between the base (16) and the engaged piece (18). Furthermore, a pressing part (15) is placed on the lower surface of the engaging piece (17) and a projecting part (14) is placed on the upper surface of the base (16). Moreover, the endoscope (20) covered with the protective cover (25) is inserted into the insertion holes (12 and 13) and can be pressed onto the projecting part (14) by the pressing part (15).
