Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support for accessory or auxiliary dental instruments, in particular applicable on dental units.
  • the second small support tray is normally located close to the central column of the dental unit, on the side of the chair, that is to say, in the area opposite that in which the dentist works. This zone is normally occupied by the dental assistant, who assists the dentist using the instruments on the second tray.
  • the second tray consists of a central body with special seats for stably holding corresponding instruments and relative suction pipes connected, upstream, to hydraulic - pneumatic means which allow operation of the entire unit and, to power cables directly connected to the polymerising lamp.
  • the central body is, in turn, attached to the fixed central column (on the upper section of which there are the zones for a cuspidor and a cup rest) by an arm which pivots on the column, allowing the dental assistant or dentist to adjust the position of the support relative to the chair (by means of a handle on the support).
  • the central body may be independent and may move along the floor.
  • the second tray structured in this way is not particularly practical, since the position of and distance between the handle and the seats does not provide enough protection for the pipe holder seats.
  • the patient or the dentist or dental assistant holding them
  • the patient must support a good part of the weight of the pipes or cables attached to the instruments.
  • the support handle is always fixed to the main body, with the possibility of bacterial agents increasing or accumulating in areas of the handle, which cannot be removed for suitable cleaning or sterilisation.
  • the aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing a support for accessory dental instruments which is extremely practical, providing a secure holder for the instruments and with improved overall hygiene features on the entire support.
  • the present invention solves the problem of providing a support for accessory dental instruments comprising a central body with a plurality of open seats, extending in a transversal direction and over an operating section, for removably holding instruments with a relative diameter, to which supply cables and/or pipes with a corresponding diameter may be connected.
  • the support comprises a rod-shaped grip element, attached by removable connecting means to a single central support arm on and projecting from the central body.
  • the grip element extends parallel with the central body, in the transversal direction and its length is at least equal to that of the operating section.
  • the grip element is also positioned opposite the open seats and at a distance from the seats which is less than the diameter of the instruments and equal to the diameter of the cables and/or pipes, in order to prevent the instruments from accidentally dropping below the central body and, respectively, to allow sliding operation and repositioning in the seats of the instruments and relative cables and/or pipes.
  • the support disclosed is used on dental units (not illustrated, being of the known type and not forming part of the subject matter of the present invention) for accessory dental instruments.
  • the support, labelled 1 is normally close to the chair (not illustrated), and in the zone opposite that in which the dentist works. Said zone is normally occupied by the dental assistant, who assists the dentist with the instruments on the support 1.
  • the support 1 may be directly connected to the dental unit by an adjustable arm, or it may be independent of the unit and on a mobile base with a column (not illustrated, being of the known type).
  • This support 1 comprises, amongst its basic elements, a central body 2 with, on one surface 2a, a plurality of open seats 3, extending in a transversal direction T and over an operating section U of the central body 2.
  • the seats removably hold instruments 4 with a diameter S, which can be attached to supply cables and/or pipes 5 which have a diameter C.
  • the instruments 4 supported are normally suction units (not illustrated), a polymerising lamp 4p (illustrated in Figures 1 and 2), etc.
  • the main body 2 comprises a rod-shaped grip element 6 attached, by removable connecting means 7, to a single support element 8 on the central body 2, projecting from the central body 2 (see also Figures 2 and 3).
  • Figures 2 and 3 also illustrate how the grip element 6 extends parallel with the central body 2, in the above-mentioned transversal direction T, with a length L at least equal to the operating section U. More specifically, the length L of the rod-shaped grip element 6 is equal to the width of the central body 2.
  • the grip element 6 is positioned opposite the open seats 3 and at a distance D from said seats 3 which is less than the diameter of the instruments 4 and at least equal to the diameter C of the cables and/or pipes 5. This prevents the instruments 4 from accidentally dropping below the central body 2 (see also dashed line in Figure 1) and allows sliding operation of the cables and/or pipes 5, with repositioning of the instruments 4 in the seats 3 (see arrow F in Figure 1).
  • the rod-shaped grip element 6 comprises a pair of rods 6a and 6b, opposite one another, which can be attached to a fixed, central arm 8 on the central body 2, projecting from the central body 2.
  • the removable connecting means 7 (illustrated with a dashed line in Figure 3), which comprise a pair of pins 9a and 9b, opposite one another, on either side of the arm 8 and having a tooth 10, projecting radially from each pin 9a and 9b.
  • the tooth allows the rotary connection and release of the corresponding rod 6a and 6b (see arrow F1 in Figure 3) with an internal screw thread 11.
  • a support for accessory dental instruments structured in this way therefore, achieves the preset aims with the following advantages.
