Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is a dental X-ray device used for dental X-ray photography.
The present invention relates to a storage device for a dental X-ray film package for storing the X-ray film package during imaging.

[Conventional technology]

When performing X-ray photography of teeth, a dental X-ray film package is used in which the X-ray film is packaged in a package that transmits X-rays but does not transmit light. Such a dental X-ray film package will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 10 is a plan view of the dental X-ray film package. In the figure, numeral 1 is a package made of opaque and flexible synthetic resin, which allows X-rays to pass through but not light rays. 2 is an X-ray film sealed inside the package 1.

When performing X-ray photography of teeth, the dentist inserts a dental X-ray film package into the patient's mouth, contacts the tooth to be photographed, and then inserts the dental irradiate with X-rays. As a result, an X-ray latent image of the tooth is obtained on the X-ray film 2.
The dentist removes the dental X-ray film package from the patient's oral cavity and places the package in a dark room or dark box.
The X-ray film 2 is taken out and developed. In this manner, an X-ray image of the tooth to be photographed can be obtained on the X-ray film 2. A dentist performs diagnosis and treatment based on this X-ray image.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

By the way, when performing X-ray photography, the dentist:
The dental X-ray film packaging requires inserting the dental X-ray film packaging into the oral cavity, taking it out from the oral cavity, and then tearing the packaging 1 and taking out the X-ray film for development processing. The patient's saliva, which had been deposited in large quantities on the patient's body, could not avoid being deposited on the dentist. Such adhesion of saliva not only causes discomfort for the dentist, but if the dentist's finger has a wound, the virus in the saliva can enter through the wound and cause the dentist himself to become infected. There was a fear that I might get sick.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above and to provide a dental X that can prevent the adhesion of saliva.
To provide a storage device for wire film packaging.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage part made of a flexible sheet that encloses and stores the entire dental X-ray film package in which dental X-ray film is sealed, and a storage part connected to the storage part. a gripping part made of at least one flexible sheet that protrudes outside the oral cavity when inserted into the oral cavity; and a gripping part made of at least one flexible sheet that protrudes outside the oral cavity when the housing part is inserted into the oral cavity, and the storage part and the inside of the oral cavity are welded or bonded in the vicinity of a connecting part between the storage part and the gripping part. a blocking means for blocking the dental
a code part for imparting a coded X-ray image onto the radiation film, and the holding part pulls out the storage part outside the oral cavity and tears the storage part to remove the dental X-ray film package from the storage part. It is characterized by being taken out from.

[Effect]

When performing X-ray imaging, the dentist inserts the dental X-ray film package into the storage section through the opening, and places the storage section at a predetermined position of the patient's tooth to be imaged. After irradiation with X-rays, the dentist removes the housing from the patient's oral cavity by holding the gripping portion and pulling or tearing the gripping portion to both sides to open or tear the housing. Thereby, the dental X-ray film package can fall out or be taken out from the storage section.
Saliva is not attached to the dental X-ray film package that has fallen off or has been taken out. This dental X-ray film package is peeled off and the X-ray film is taken out and developed. An X-ray image of the tooth and the symbol is obtained on the X-ray film after the development process.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

Figures 1a, b, c, and d are plan views and cross-sections taken along lines a-b, c-c, and d-d of a storage device for a dental X-ray film package according to a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a diagram. In the figure, 3 indicates a storage section. 3
A and 3b are flexible synthetic resin sheets that transmit X-rays. The edges of the sheets 3a and 3b are
In the figure, the upper part is left open and welded, thereby forming a bag-shaped storage section 3. 4 indicates a gripping portion. 4a,
4b is a continuous sheet with the sheets 3a and 3b, respectively, and is formed to be narrower in width and longer than the sheets 3a and 3b. Sheet 4a, 4
The longitudinal edges of b are welded. Reference numeral 5 denotes a tongue portion at the tip of the sheet 3b that slightly protrudes from the sheet 3a, and is coated with adhesive. 6 is a sheet 4 protruding from the sheet 4a in the grip portion 4;
This is the gripping part at the tip of b. A is a code section provided on the sheet 3a of the storage section 3. The code part A is the first
As shown in figure c, there is a sheet A ₁ , a code A ₂ (number "50" in the figure) formed with lead ink on this sheet A ₁ and an adhesive layer for adhering to the sheet 3a.
Consists of _A3 . Note that the thickness of the reference numeral A in FIG. 1c is enlarged for ease of understanding. Further, the code section A may be provided on the seat 3b or the inner surface of the storage section 3.

When performing X-ray photography, the dentist inserts the dental X-ray film package into the storage section 3 of the storage tool.
Next, the tongue portion 5 is bent and adhered to the sheet 3a,
The open end of the storage section 3 is sealed. As a result, the dental X-ray film package stored in the storage section 3 will not fall out. Next, the dentist places the storage part 3 at a predetermined position of the tooth to be imaged in the patient's oral cavity using tweezers or the like or by the patient himself. In this state, the grip portion 4 protrudes outside the patient's mouth. When X-rays are irradiated from the opposite side of the storage section 3, an X-ray latent image of the tooth and the symbol is generated on the X-ray film.

When the imaging is completed, the dentist holds the grip part 4 and takes out the storage part 3 from the patient's mouth, holds the grip part 6 with one hand and the tip of the sheet 4a with the other hand, and holds both of them. Pull. As a result, the sheets 4a and 4b of the grip portion 4 are torn apart. This is illustrated in perspective views of the storage device shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b. FIG. 2a shows a state in which the tip portion of the gripping portion 4 is torn off. If you tear it further from this state, it will reach the connecting part of the storage part 3, and if you continue tearing it, as shown in Figure 2b,
The sheets 3a and 3b of the storage section 3 are also torn from the welded portion. As the sheets 3a and 3b continue to be torn, the dental X-ray film package eventually falls out of the storage section 3. Since the dental X-ray film package that fell off had been stored in the storage section until then, the patient's saliva did not adhere to it. The dental X-ray film package 1 is torn in a dark room or dark box, and the X-ray film 2 is taken out.
Processed. As a result, an X-ray image of the tooth and the symbol is obtained on the X-ray film 2.

In the explanation of the above embodiment, an example was described in which an adhesive is applied to the tongue of the opening into which the dental X-ray film package is inserted to seal the housing part. It is not necessary to apply it all over, and you can apply it spot-on where needed.

Further, it is not necessarily necessary to apply adhesive to the tongue, and the tongue may be folded into the housing after the dental X-ray film package is stored in the housing.

Furthermore, the tongue piece is not necessarily necessary, and even without the tongue piece, saliva will hardly enter through the open opening and will not cause discomfort to the operator.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, an example was described in which the edges of the gripping portions are welded, but appropriate spots may be bonded in spots with an adhesive having a weak adhesive force.

Furthermore, the gripping portions do not need to be glued together, and no problem will occur even if the two sheets are separated. In this case, there is no need to provide the two sheets with a length. Further, the code portion may be configured such that the code portion is an X-ray transparent portion and the other portions are an X-ray opaque portion.

As described above, in this embodiment, the dental X-ray film package is stored in the storage section, and during X-ray photography, the storage section is pulled out from the oral cavity by holding the gripping section, and when developing processing is performed, the holding section is pulled out from the oral cavity by the gripping section. Since the dental X-ray film package is taken out by tearing the part and the storage part, it is possible to reliably prevent the patient's saliva from adhering to the dentist. Furthermore, by using a synthetic resin sheet that is more flexible than the package in the storage section, the patient's discomfort can be alleviated compared to when the dental X-ray film package is directly inserted into the oral cavity. Furthermore, since the code section is provided in the storage section, it is possible to obtain an X-ray image of the code as well as an X-ray image of the teeth, which is extremely convenient for organizing and identifying the X-ray films.

FIG. 3 shows a dental X according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a storage device for a wire film package. In the figure, parts that are the same as those shown in FIG. 5' is a tongue piece corresponding to the tongue piece 5 shown in FIG.
While the tongue piece 5' is provided on the upper side, the tongue piece 5' is provided on the side side. The present embodiment differs only in the position of the tongue piece 5' as described above, and the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. If you use
The only difference is that the dental X-ray film package is inserted into the storage section 3 from the side, and the other points are the same as the method of use of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment as well, as described in the first embodiment, the adhesive applied to the tongue may be applied in spots, or may not be applied. Furthermore, the tongue piece itself can also be omitted. Furthermore, regarding the gripping portion, the two sheets may be adhered in a spot shape, or may be left separate without being adhered.

The effects of this embodiment are also the same as those of the first embodiment.

Figures 4a, b, c, and d are a plan view and a sectional view taken along lines bb, cc, and dd of a dental X-ray film package according to a third embodiment of the present invention. . In the figure, parts that are the same as those shown in FIG.

is the opening of the storage compartment (the part that is not welded), 9
is an adhesive layer applied to one or both of the sheets 3a, 3b in the opening 8. Adhesive layer 9
An adhesive with extremely weak adhesive strength is used.

When performing X-ray photography, the dentist should use sheet 4a,
4b to both sides to open the opening 8 and insert the dental X-ray film package into the storage section 3. When opening the opening 8, the adhesive layer 9 has a weak adhesive force, so the opening 8 opens easily. After storing the dental X-ray film package, the opening 8 is pressed and sealed with an adhesive layer 9. Thereby, the dental X-ray film package stored in the storage section 3 will not fall out.

After the imaging is completed, the dentist holds the gripping part 4, takes out the storage part 3 from the patient's mouth, picks up the sheet 4a with one hand and the sheet 4b with the other hand, and pulls them together to form an adhesive. The agent layer 9 is peeled off again and the opening 8 is opened. If the tension is continued further, the welded part 7 of the storage part 3 will be peeled off. This state is shown in the perspective view of the storage device in FIG.
As the sheets 3a and 3b continue to be peeled off, the dental X-ray film package eventually falls out of the storage section 3.

In this embodiment as well, as described in the first embodiment, the adhesive applied to the opening may be applied in spots or may not be applied. The dental X-ray film package is held within the housing and saliva does not enter. Furthermore, regarding the grip portion, two sheets may be adhered in spots with an adhesive having a weak adhesive force.

This embodiment has the same effect as the first embodiment, and since the portion of the storage portion other than the connection portion with the grip portion can be formed by welding, the storage portion has a rounded shape with no corners. It can be shaped into any shape to further alleviate patient discomfort.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line bb shown in FIG. 6a. In the figure, parts that are the same as those shown in FIG. Reference numeral 4' indicates the gripping portion of this embodiment. While the gripping section 4 of the third embodiment is composed of sheets 4a and 4b, the gripping section 4' of this embodiment is composed of one sheet 4b.
The sheets 3a, 4a, 4b of this embodiment are made of synthetic resin and have a tearing direction along the gripping portion 4'.

Peel off the adhesive layer 9, insert the dental X-ray film package through the opening 8, seal it with the adhesive layer 9, and
After the radiograph is taken, the dentist holds the grip part 4' and pulls out the storage part 3 from inside the patient's mouth, and then removes the sheet 4.
Hold b with both hands and tear it apart. This results in
Sheet 4b is torn along its longitudinal direction, and as the tearing continues, the tearing reaches sheet 3b. Then, as the sheet 3b is torn, the dental X-ray film package inside the storage section 3 falls out of the storage section 3.

Note that the adhesive may be applied in spots, and the adhesive layer may not be provided, as in the previous embodiment.

This embodiment has the same effect as the third embodiment, and also has the effect of simplifying the configuration.
