Abstract

1435600 Spatulas EFRUDEC-VERTRIEBS GmbH FUR INDUSTRIE PRODUKTE AUS METALL UND KUNSTSTOFF 12 Dec 1973 [19 Jan 1973] 57536/73 Heading A5R A spatula for mouth and throat examination has two prongs 19, 20 at one end and skids 22, 23 along the edges of one surface and merging into the prongs grooves 24, 25 being formed in the surface opposite to that on which skids are formed, aligned and coterminces with the skids. The spatula may be made of synthetic material or it may be of light conducting material e.g. polystyrene. The end remote from the skids may be formed with wedge shaped edges 28 to fit a co-operative recess in the luminous member of a torch 12. The length of the spatula may be in the form of a web 16 of constant width and increasing thickness away from the pronged end, with beaded edges 17, 18. The length may be curved perpendicular to the plane of the web. The pronged end of the spatula may be roughened on its surface 26 opposite to the skids, to improve light refraction.
