Filing device: for dental work utensils

The uses to store and provide dental work utensils, especially instruments Dentist receiving parts, e.g. in the form of so-called trays or cassettes, which either have the corresponding dimensions Depressions can be placed in a device or on appropriately designed, mostly on a support » (arm-mounted special brackets can be put down.

So far, two trays with standardized dimensions but differing in size have been introduced on the market. To the customer the use Mounts for both tray sizes are provided by the device manufacturer to enable both one and the other tray to offer what means increased3 warehousing. A later exchange of the tray holder at Customers are associated with increased retrofitting costs.

The invention specified in claim 1 has the object based on a storage device for dental / 25 instruments or the like. to create in which the receiving part, which is a cassette directly receiving the work utensils or such a cassette Can be receiving part, relatively simple and easy by the user himself against another receiving part can be exchanged, e.g. for the purpose of easier pre-loading or cleaning or sterilization of the receiving part.

Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are given in the subclaims. On off-

Management example of the invention is based on the following the drawing explained in more detail.

FIG. I shows the storage device according to the invention in a side view. An angled support arm 2 is pivotably mounted on a wall or floor column. This holding arm is a stationary carrier of a detachably held receiving part 3, indicated by dashed lines in the illustration, for, for example, instruments. The receiving part 3 can receive the instruments directly or indirectly via one or more trays (cassettes). The receiving part 3 contains at least partially. \ on the circumference, but preferably circumferentially over the entire circumference, a shaped (flanged) edge k with a constant profile cross-section (FIGS. 3 or 4). The edge k has an upper edge part 4a which is raised in relation to the support surface 5 and a lower edge end part 4b which tapers downward. In the upper edge area, the edge k is provided with a bevel 6.

The holding arm 2 has a support part 7 which extends approximately to the middle of the receiving part 3 and onto which a in the direction of the arrow 8 longitudinally displaceable

tell 9 is held. At its free end, which is approximately half the width of the receiving part, the support part 9 contains a support or support surface 10 and, at its other end, a recess 11 formed by, for example, a rear recess, into which the lower edge end part 4b of the receiving part 3 can engage in a form-fitting manner. In the engagement position, the attachment part is secured against being pulled out and also against twisting. The holding arm 2 also contains a projection 12 at a distance from the recess corresponding to the edge height, which protrudes somewhat over the bevel 6 of the receiving part 3 in the held state. The area of the receiving part is guided by the projection and is secured against falling out if it is accidentally hit from below.

The support surface 10 is (Figure 2) by two on top of each other arranged, embedded in a corresponding recess in the support part 9, against contact surfaces 9a of the support part 9 formed one-day parts 16a, 16b resting on it. The insert part i6b has spacer bars 16c and can be inserted turned by 180 °. In the shown insertion position becomes a slightly increased contact surface compared to the rest of the surface of the support part 9 and in the other Insertion position in which the spacer bars 16c do not come into play, one that is flush with the rest of the surface Support surface formed. This optional position can be designed differently with regard to their edge formations Recording parts are taken into account. the Choice position can advantageously be marked on the insert.

The support part 9 is made of plastic and is by means of a bolt Ik in loaded by compression spring 13

an elongated hole 15 of the support part 7 guided spring-loaded, whereby the support part 9 is pressed towards the support part 7 by the spring action.

The support part 9 is provided with an upstanding edge 9b, with which it can rest on the corresponding surface of the support part 7 or holding arm 2. Means a resilient tongue 9c (FIG. 5) molded on the edge 9b has a certain prestress and thus position I

In the illustrated engaged position in which the opening is §-receiving member 3 supported on the holding arm 2, there is a f

Stop 18 of the support part 7. When the support member 9 is raised by lifting on the expediently designed as handle ■ formed end portion 19, the pin comes to lie above the stop eighteenth Supported by the resilient tongue 9c, the support part is pushed out in the direction of arrow 8 until an edge 20 rests against a further stop 21 of the support part 7. In this position, the edge k lies outside the projection 12, whereby the receiving part 3 can be easily removed.

The attachment is done in reverse order, i.e. first the receiving part 3 with the lower one Edge end part 4b inserted into recess 11. Then the support part 9 is opposite to the direction of the arrows «Ö slightly pushed in. The slope comes to lie under the projection. Then the Support part 9 pressed down, whereby the pin again at the stop 18 to the plant komffit.

It should be noted that the edge formation and size of the receiving part can be arbitrary per se. Figures 3 and h show, for example, two differently designed profiles that come into consideration for the receiving part 3. If, as advantageously proposed, the receiving profile has a circumferential edge profile with a constant cross-section, the receiving part can be held on any straight outer edge. Subsequent shifting is also easily possible. Starting from one

such a basic profile can be attached to such a recording-V ! part in the same way other receiving elements, such as e.g. medicine containers, film viewers or handles.
