ABSTRACT:
A single axis three way valve for endoscopes. The valve has a repose, closed setting and two active settings. In one active setting, a common port to the endoscope is connected to suction, and in the other active setting it is connected to a source of irrigation liquids. The valve has two spools, one of which is connected to a finger pad for actuation, and which is spring-loaded to a closed position. The other spool is spaced from the first, and also is spring-loaded closed . The first valve is opened by initial movement. Further movement closes its port and abuts the other spool to open its respective port.
