Summary:The endoscope guide tube (30) is fixed to a ball joint (20) which surrounds its distal end, and has an inner diameter which permits the passage of an endoscope. A first outer shell section (10) forms the female component of the ball joint and has an outer threaded surface of the same pitch as the inspection hole in the endoscope monitor. A second shell section (40) engages with the first section and has a proximal zone (44) in the shape of an open truncated cone matching a similar opening (14) in the first shell section, and a distal zone (43) with a spherical surface matching that of the ball joint. Tube guide orientable pour inspection endoscopique constitué des éléments suivants : Un tube (30) solidaire d'une rotule sphérique (20) , une coquille (10) vissable dans un orifice d'inspection, et une coquille (40) vissable dans la coquille (10) . Ledit tube guide étant caractérisé en ce que : . La rotule (20) dispose de deux doigts cylindriques (22) diamétralement opposés. La coquille (10) dispose de deux fentes longitudinales (13) diamètralement opposées dans lesquelles glissent les doigts (22) .. L'orifice axial de la coquille (10) présente une zonetronconique (14) et une portion de sphère (15) servant de réceptacle distal à la rotule (20) . L'orifice axial de la coquille (40) présente une zone tronconique (44) et une portion de sphère (43) servant de réceptacle proximal à la rotule (20) .Applications en contrôle non destructif
