Abstract

In bending pliers for metal wires which are used in dentistry and have a shape memory, the grips of the pliers being covered by a synthetic material, the envelope (3) of synthetic material is slotted at the end of one grip (2) of the pliers, and a conductor cable end, to which is fixed by soldering a metal insert (7) corresponding to the curvature of the grip, is slid into the slot up to the insulation of the wire, in such a way that, in the event of current rushes, the wire section (5) situated between two current-conducting jaws (4) can be heated by the passage of the current, it being possible for the wire section (5) to be heated using a single connected plier or two connected pliers.

Description

Pince à cintrer pour fils métalliques à usage dentaire
La présente invention concerne une pince à cintrer pour fils métalliques à usage dentaire, tels que arcs d'ancrage en fil métallique à effet de mémoire, les branches de la pince étant revêtues de matière synthétique.
Metal wire bending pliers
The present invention relates to bending pliers for metal wires for dental use, such as anchoring arcs made of metal wire with a memory effect, the branches of the forceps being coated with synthetic material.

Des fils métalliques à mémoire ne peuvent faire l'objet d'une déformation permanente à la température normale ; ils présentent toutefois une forte élasticité en flexion avec une grande force de rappel élastique, ce qui dans le cas de fils métalliques à usage dentaire peut être mis à profit à des fins de régularisation de la dentition. Memory metal wires cannot be permanently deformed at normal temperature; however, they have a high elasticity in bending with a large elastic restoring force, which in the case of metallic threads for dental use can be used to regularize the teeth.

La mise en place de tels fils dans les crochets placés sur les dents est cependant difficile. En fonction de l'alliage utilisé une déformation est toutefois possible à des températures comprises entre environ 450 et 4800C. Dans cet intervalle de température se réalise une transformation de la structure martensitique en une structure austénitique. Lors du refroidissement s'effectue le processus inverse. Dans le fil est donc intégrée une mémoire permanente. Ceci est important pour le chirurgien-dentiste car il est en mesure de courber des fils à mémoire du fait des changements de structure obtenus à l'aide de chaleur, qu'il s'agisse de courant électrique, de chaleur directe dégagée par un gaz, ou analogue. Il est connu de réaliser ceci à l'aide de pinces connectées par l'intermédiaire de fiches à des câbles.The installation of such wires in the hooks placed on the teeth is however difficult. Depending on the alloy used, deformation is however possible at temperatures between around 450 and 4800C. In this temperature range, the martensitic structure is transformed into an austenitic structure. During cooling, the reverse process takes place. In the wire is therefore integrated a permanent memory. This is important for the dental surgeon because he is able to bend memory wires due to the structural changes obtained using heat, be it electric current, direct heat given off by a gas. , or the like. It is known to do this using pliers connected by means of plugs to cables.

Pour cela il faut cependant ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler des patins de connexion qui doivent être fixés à l'extremi- té de la pince soit par soudage, soit par brasage. Les appareils de brasage ou de soudage dont le dentiste dispose ne présentent cependant pas l'intensité de courant permettant de réaliser une liaison solide telle qu'elle est nécessaire pour le cintrage, c'est-à-dire le débit de courant, de sorte que des pinces particulières doivent être prévues à cette fin.For this, however, it is necessary to call connection pads which must be fixed to the end of the clamp either by welding or by soldering. The brazing or welding devices available to the dentist, however, do not have the current intensity making it possible to produce a solid connection as is necessary for bending, that is to say the current flow, so that special pliers must be provided for this purpose.

Or la présente invention a pour but de permettre à des pinces à cintrer existantes, qui sont utilisées avec de nombreuses formes de mors, d'être aisément adaptées aux usages précités. The object of the present invention is to allow existing bending pliers, which are used with numerous jaw shapes, to be easily adapted to the abovementioned uses.

Ce but est atteint, en ce qui concerne des pinces à cintrer pour fils métalliques à usage dentaire, tels que arcs d'ancrage en fil métallique à effet de mémoire, les branches de la pince étant revêtues de matière synthétique, selon l'invention par le fait qu'au bout d'une branche de pince l'enveloppe en matière synthétique est fendue et qu'une extrémité de câble conductrice, à laquelle est fixée par brasage une plaquette métallique courbée selon la courbure de la branche, est glissée dans la fente ainsi formée jusqu'à l'isolation du fil, de telle manière qu'en cas d'à-coups de courant le tronçon de fil situé entre deux mors conducteurs de l'électricité puisse être chauffé par le passage du courant. Ainsi les pinces à cintrer généralement disponibles chez le dentiste peuvent être facilement transformées par celui-ci. This object is achieved, as regards bending pliers for metallic wires for dental use, such as anchoring arcs in metallic wire with memory effect, the branches of the clamp being coated with synthetic material, according to the invention by the fact that at the end of a clamp branch the plastic casing is split and that one end of a conductive cable, to which a brazed metal plate is fixed by brazing according to the curvature of the branch, is slid into the slit thus formed until the insulation of the wire, so that in the event of current jolts the section of wire situated between two electrically conductive jaws can be heated by the passage of current. Thus the bending pliers generally available from the dentist can be easily transformed by the latter.

Un exemple de réalisation préféré est décrit ci-dessous et représenté sur la figure unique. Celle-ci montre deux pinces à cintrer 1 avec des branches 2 et un revêtement tubulaire 3 en matière synthétique ainsi que des mors correspondants 4 entre lesquels il convient de mettre en place et serrer le fil à mémoire 5. Au bout de l'une des branches 2 de chaque pince est ménagée dans l'enveloppe 3 en matière synthétique une fente 6 dans laquelle une plaquette métallique 7, correspondant à la forme de la branche et fixée par brasage au câble électrique 8, est glissée jusqu'à l'isolation 9 ; ceci est représenté au dessin lors de la mise en place.Si à présent les pinces l sont soumises, par l'intermédiaire des deux câbles d'amenée de courant munis de plaquettes métalliques 7, à des à-coups de courant, alors il s'opère par contact par l'intermédiaire des mors 4 un chauffage correspondant du fil à mémoire interposé 5 qui peut ainsi subir l'incurvation nécessaire à la mise en place dans les crochets, auquel cas le fil 5 s'adapte, lors du refroidissement à la température normale, à cette courbure en tant que mémoire nouvelle et agit en fonction de sa force de rappel élastique par l'intermédiaire des crochets à des fins de correction sur les dents. A preferred embodiment is described below and shown in the single figure. This shows two bending pliers 1 with branches 2 and a tubular covering 3 made of synthetic material as well as corresponding jaws 4 between which it is necessary to place and tighten the memory wire 5. At the end of one of the branches 2 of each clamp is formed in the envelope 3 of synthetic material a slot 6 in which a metal plate 7, corresponding to the shape of the branch and fixed by soldering to the electric cable 8, is slid to the insulation 9 ; this is shown in the drawing during installation. If the clamps 1 are now subjected, by means of the two current supply cables provided with metal plates 7, to surges of current, then it s 'operates by contact via the jaws 4 a corresponding heating of the interposed memory wire 5 which can thus undergo the curvature necessary for positioning in the hooks, in which case the wire 5 adapts, during cooling to normal temperature, at this curvature as a new memory and acts according to its elastic restoring force via the hooks for correction purposes on the teeth.

Au lieu de deux pinces à cintrer 2 il peut également n'être utilisé qu'une seule pince à cintrer munie de connexions électriques (plaquette métallique 7) passant respectivement par l'une et l'autre des branches 2 garnies d'un revêtement 3 en matière synthétique, les deux parties de la pince étant isolées l'une par rapport à l'autre au niveau de l'articulation 10 en vue de l'alimentation en courant séparée de chacun des mors 4 pour le chauffage du tronçon de fil interposé 5.  Instead of two bending pliers 2, it can also only be used a single bending pliers provided with electrical connections (metal plate 7) passing respectively through one and the other of the branches 2 provided with a coating 3 made of synthetic material, the two parts of the clamp being insulated from each other at the level of the joint 10 for the purpose of supplying separate current to each of the jaws 4 for heating the section of wire interposed 5.
