2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a main part of an example of a dental treatment unit to which a dental gargle according to the present invention is applied. In FIG. The treatment chair 10 includes an abutment table 11, a back seat 12, a contour seat 13, a leg rest 14, and a foot rest 1.
As is well known, in dental treatment, a patient sits on a chair and fixes his / her head on the abutment table 11 to receive treatment. A water supply / drain box 20 is provided near the treatment chair 10, and a gargle bowl 2 is placed on the water supply / drain box 20.
As is well known, the patient excretes water gargled in the oral cavity into the bowl 21.

[0003]

The gargle is fixed on a fixed object such as a water supply / drainage box. When gargle, the patient cleans his or her face (to clean the mouth water). Mouth) must be moved to the top of the gargle 21, and it is difficult to move the face to the top of the gargle in the case of a handicapped person, an elderly person, a child, and the like. In the case of a vacuum cup (such as a jago, an adapter that attaches to the end of a vacuum hose and drains gargle each time), a vacuum cup must be prepared each time and this vacuum cup must be used as a chair. It was inconvenient because there was not enough space left on the side.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and makes it possible to move the above-mentioned dental gargle to the mouth of a patient, thereby facilitating gargling of persons with physical disabilities. It is intended to be able to do it.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a pot for gargleing a patient undergoing dental treatment in the oral cavity, a pot receiver for removably mounting the pot, and a lower end of the pot. And a flexible vacuum hose connected to the pot, wherein the pot is taken out of the pot receiver together with the vacuum hose and is movable to a predetermined position.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a main part of a dental gargle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 denotes a water supply / drainage box, 21 denotes a gargle, and 22 denotes a water supply / drainage. A pot receiving portion 23 formed on the box 20 is a flexible hose connected to a lower end portion of the gargle 21.
The lower end (not shown) of the hose 23 is connected to a vacuum device for drainage, and gargle water excreted in the gargle 21 is sucked and discharged by the vacuum device, as is well known.

[0007] The gargle 21 is usually mounted on the pot receiving portion 22 of the water supply / drainage box 20, and is used in the same manner as the conventional gargle shown in FIG. However, in the case of a person or a child with physical disabilities, it is difficult to bring the face up to the gargle 21. In such a case, for example, the assistant picks up the gargle 21. Then, the gargle 21 is taken out together with the vacuum hose 23 and brought to the mouth of the patient. Therefore, the patient can gargle without moving the body.

[0008]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a bowl for gargling the oral cavity can be moved to the mouth of the patient in dental treatment.
Even people with physical disabilities can easily gargle easily.
