FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an example of the configuration of the vacuum device of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing another configuration example of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of the bent pipe of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, an intra-oral vacuum device of the present invention and a vacuum tube holding stand used therefor will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an intraoral vacuum device according to the present invention, which is a type of vacuum device in which a vacuum tube holding stand is pushed to a treatment chair and a vacuum tube or the like provided in the treatment chair is attached thereto.
As shown in the figure, the vacuum tube holding stand 100 is arranged on the floor, and a caster 110 is attached to the bottom surface thereof, and can be freely moved. The support base 109 is made of a heavy object to prevent it from falling, and is provided with a storage tube 108 for storing the support column 106. A bent tube 105 that freely bends and maintains its position is attached to the tip of the column 106, and a gripping member 104 that holds the vacuum tube 101 is attached to the tip. The support column 106 can move in the height direction and can be fixed with a screw 107 at an appropriate height.

  On the other hand, the vacuum tube 101 used in each treatment chair is used. A vacuum tip 102 with high flexibility is attached to the tip so as not to damage the mucous membrane in the mouth, and a vacuum hose 103 for discharging filth is provided at the rear end and connected to a suction machine (not shown). Yes.

In the present invention, the bent pipe 105 refers to a pipe that can be freely bent into various shapes as described above, and can be held in a bent shape. For example, the outlet pipe of a desk lamp or a water heater For example, a tube called a stand tube or a stand flex is used. In the present invention, the term “tube” is used, but the inside is not necessarily hollow and may be a rod-like one. Here, metal is preferably used as the material, but is not limited thereto, and plastic or the like can also be used.
The gripping member may be any member as long as it securely grips the vacuum tube so as not to cause backlash, such as a clip (made of metal or plastic) or Velcro. A band or the like provided with a hook-and-loop fastener is preferably used. In the case of a clip, it is preferable to attach an elastic body such as a rubber sheet on the inside to prevent the vacuum pipe from slipping, so that the vacuum pipe can be securely held at a desired position without play. .

Next, a method for using the intraoral vacuum tube holding stand and the vacuum device will be described.
The intraoral vacuum tube holding stand 100 is moved to the patient's treatment chair, the vacuum tube attached to the chair is fixed by the clip 104, and the vacuum hose 103 is gently pressed against the bent tube 105 by the hose clamp 111.

  Subsequently, the height of the column 106 is adjusted and the bending tube 105 is bent, the vacuum tube 101 is inserted into the patient's mouth, and the bending tube is adjusted so that the vacuum tip 102 comes to a predetermined position. To hold. In this way, for example, it becomes possible to place a vacuum tip near the cutting position, and it is possible to effectively suck and discharge cutting waste, cleaning liquid, water, etc. Can be treated. In other words, a dentist can perform treatment using both hands without an assistant, and can perform treatment as desired while sufficiently observing the treatment section.

  In addition, since the weight of the vacuum tube is supported by the stand itself, the weight of the vacuum tube, etc. is not applied to the mucous membrane in the oral cavity. However, the pain given to the patient can be further alleviated.

  Subsequently, when a vacuum device is required for another treatment chair, the vacuum tube and the hose are removed, the stand is moved to the treatment chair, and the vacuum tube or the like may be attached and used in the same manner.

  A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Whereas the first embodiment moves on the floor with a self-supporting holding stand, the holding stand according to the present embodiment uses a bending tube 105 directly (or via a column 106 or the like) such as a treatment chair. It is attached to a structure (for example, an arm of a therapeutic chair).

That is, the holding stand according to the present embodiment includes the mounting member 112, the support column 106, the bent tube 105, and the vacuum tube gripping member 104 for fixing the stand to an arm, a wall, or the like. As the attachment member 112, the same member as the gripping member 104, that is, a clip or a hook-and-loop fastener is used. However, when the structure is a magnetic body, a magnet can be used.
As described above, the attachment member 112 of the stand can be attached to the arm of the treatment chair and used in the same manner as in Example 1. For example, the attachment member 112 is attached near the suction port of the suction arm of the extraoral vacuum device. By attaching and fixing the member 112, the cutting dust and the like scattered outside the mouth are sucked and removed with an extra-oral vacuum device to protect the dentist from the scattered matter and efficiently remove the dirt in the oral cavity without an assistant. It can be removed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the bending tube has a two-stage configuration of a column side (first bending portion) 105 ′ and a tip side (second bending portion) 113. The force for bending the second bent portion 113 is smaller than the value of the first bent portion 105 ′. The tip of the tip moves with a relatively weak force, and for example, it is possible to perform treatment with the other hand while moving the tip while pushing with a hand holding a treatment instrument such as a mirror. .
In addition, the movement of the vacuum chip at this time can be made substantially in the same plane. At this time, as the second bent portion, for example, a strip-shaped plate as disclosed in JP-A-2007-27896 is overlaid. Combined arms can be used.

  A configuration example having similar functions is shown in FIG. This is an example in which an elastic body 114 such as a spring is used instead of the second bent portion in FIG. In this example, when a force is applied, the tip moves due to the deformation of the elastic body, but when released, it returns to its original position. Therefore, this device is effective when treating a plurality of treatment points in the vicinity in succession.

  As described above, the vacuum tube of the present invention can also have a function of the saliva ejector, so it is not necessary to use the saliva ejector. It is good also as composition to do. In this case, for example, with a configuration in which a saliva drainage bending tube and a saliva drainage gripping member are further connected to the support of FIG. 1, the vacuum tube tip and the saliva drainage tip are respectively disposed at appropriate positions in the oral cavity. Use. In this way, efficient and effective treatment and tartar removal can be performed while further reducing the burden on the patient. Similarly, the support table of FIG. 1 may be separately provided with a strut for a saliva discharge tube and a storage tube, or may be configured such that a bent tube is directly attached to the support table without providing a support column.
