[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dental care apparatus which reduces the labor of a physician when introducing and leaving a patient in a dental clinic and is suitable for a medical treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a patient chair in a conventional dental care apparatus has a spitting ball on the left side and a doctor table on the right side when viewed from the rear of the patient chair. In such a dental care device, when introducing a patient to a patient chair, the doctor table must be wrapped around the right side of the doctor table. Had been moved up.

[0003] As an example of the conventional dental treatment apparatus, the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-20777 is known. According to the present invention, a doctor table is provided on the right side of the patient's chair when viewed from behind, and a spitton ball and a counseling device are arranged on the left side. The line of movement with the doctor is not crossed.

[0004] As an example of a conventional dental care apparatus in which a patient chair is rotatable in a horizontal plane, the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-212222 is known. The present invention is a device in which a rotatable patient chair is viewed from behind and a top plate, a doctor table, a spittoon ball, counseling equipment, and the like are centrally arranged on the right side,
It is assumed that the patient is introduced and withdrawn from the front and rear direction by rotating the patient chair.

[0005]

However, in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-20377, the introduction and the exit of the patient are limited only from the front, and the patient chair is rotated. It does not state that the entry and exit should be made.

The invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-212222 discloses a method of rotating a patient's chair clockwise from a medical treatment position to a retreat position from a medical treatment position after a medical treatment is completed. The doctor table had to be pushed into the lower part of the original tabletop because the doctor table that had been pulled out and used hindered rotation. Therefore, there is a problem that the doctor has to move the doctor table every time the patient is introduced and withdrawn and reset the medical treatment position of the doctor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the patient chair can be rotated without moving the doctor table or changing the medical care position of the doctor each time a patient is introduced or left. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dental care device that can be operated.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dental care apparatus according to the present invention, wherein a spitton ball is provided on the left side as viewed from the back of a rotatable patient chair in a horizontal plane. In a dental care apparatus, which is disposed separately and independently from the patient chair, and in which a movable doctor table is disposed on the right side of the patient chair, the patient chair is counterclockwise moved without moving the doctor table. The patient is configured to be capable of being rotated in a direction to introduce or leave the patient.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the patient chair can be rotated in the counterclockwise direction without moving the doctor table. In addition, the trouble of moving the doctor table can be eliminated, and the medical treatment position of the doctor does not need to be changed, so that the burden on the doctor is reduced and the medical treatment effect is enhanced.

[0010] Further, a passage for wrapping the patient around the outside of the doctor table and seating the patient is unnecessary, and the installation area of the apparatus is reduced.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the spittoon ball is disposed on a lower surface of a table of a counseling cabinet, and a portion of the table covering the upper surface of the spitton ball is formed on a lid that can be opened and closed so as to face the surface of the spitton ball. In addition, a mirror used for counseling is provided on the back surface of the lid.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the table portion covering the upper surface of the spitton ball is formed in an openable and closable lid, so that when performing counseling without using the spitton ball, the lid is closed and the spitton is closed. In addition to making the ball invisible and preventing the patient from feeling uncomfortable, the surface of the closed lid is flush with the surface of the counseling table, so that the surface can be used as a table.

Furthermore, since a mirror is provided on the back surface of the lid, it is possible to provide guidance such as brushing while looking at the mirror by opening the lid.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dental care apparatus, wherein a space through which the patient chair can pass when rotating is formed below the spitton ball.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, a space is formed below the spitton ball attached to the lower surface of the table of the counseling cabinet through which the patient chair can pass when rotating. By using a folding type one and setting the relative positions of the counseling cabinet and the patient chair so as to rotate the space with a minimum radius with the backrest raised, space can be saved.
