[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a protector, and more particularly to a dental treatment for cooling floating dust generated from the oral cavity of a patient (for example, dust generated during tooth cutting, halitosis of a patient, heat generated during tooth cutting). The present invention relates to a protector for preventing the operator from being infected with AIDS, hepatitis B, etc. by preventing water spraying).

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In dental treatment, it has recently been proposed to use a vacuum device to protect the operator from airborne dust, and to discharge airborne dust that leaks from the patient's oral cavity to the outside during medical treatment by suction-catching it at the patient's mouth. ing. FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining an example of a conventional dental unit. In the figure, 9 is a dental treatment unit, and the unit 9 includes a treatment chair 1, a work table 2, a spittoon 3 and an operating light. 4, a surgical light arm 5, and the like. Further, for example, the pedestal portion 6 has a vacuum device, and the vacuum device sucks the waste excreted in the spitton 3, for example. Further, 8 is a flexible vacuum hose, 7 is a suction port provided at the tip of the vacuum hose 8, and an end (not shown) of the vacuum hose 8 is connected to the above-mentioned vacuum device.

The shadowless lamp 4 and the vacuum suction port 7 are integrally (or in close proximity to each other) configured, and when the shadowless lamp is used or when the vacuum suction is used, the shadowless lamp 4 is attached to the patient's oral cavity. If the vacuum suction port 7 is brought to the vicinity, the vacuum suction port 7 is also brought to the vicinity of the patient's mouth at the same time. Conversely, if the vacuum suction port 7 is brought to the vicinity of the patient's mouth, At the same time, it is brought near the oral cavity of the patient, but at that time, the vacuum suction port 7 does not enter the optical path of the operating light 4, and when the operating light is used, the light from the operating light 4 is emitted. It is not blocked by the vacuum suction port 7 and can always illuminate the oral cavity of the patient. Further, at this time, since the vacuum suction port 7 is brought into the vicinity of the patient's mouth at the same time, dust floating in the vicinity of the patient's mouth can be effectively sucked and discharged. In the case of the illustrated example, the arm 5 for the surgical light 4 and the hose 8 for the vacuum suction port 7 are separately configured, and the arm for the surgical light is arranged along with the hose for the vacuum suction port. Although provided, the arm 5 may be formed of a hollow body (pipe) so as to be shared.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Recently, it has been talked about that bacteria such as AIDS and hepatitis B can be transmitted from a patient to an operator (doctor) during dental treatment. I couldn't completely block the bacteria, and there was some anxiety.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and in particular, it completely prevents dust, such as tooth cutting dust and saliva, emitted from the oral cavity of a patient during dental treatment from scattering to the operator. The protector comprises a lamp and a suction vacuum port attached to the tip of a movable arm, and a transparent plate detachably attached to the tip of the arm. It is a thing.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a main part for explaining an embodiment of a protector according to the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a movable arm that operates in the same manner as the surgical light arm 4 shown in FIG. A transparent plate (protector) 11 and a lamp 12 are attached to the tip of the arm 10, and an operator A performs an operation while observing the inside of the oral cavity of the patient B through the transparent plate 11. In addition, the arm 10 is formed of a hollow tube, or a pipe or a hose is arranged along the arm 10 (in the illustrated case, since the arm 10 is formed of a hollow body, hereinafter, the arm 10 is hollow. The case of being composed of a body will be described as an example), and dust floating on the tip of the arm 10 through the hollow body (for example, cutting dust of teeth generated during treatment, odor generated from patient's mouth, watering, etc.) ) Is sucked and exhausted.

As described above, the operator A performs the operation while observing the inside of the mouth of the patient B through the transparent plate 11. At that time, the inside of the mouth is illuminated by the lamp 12 and the lower side of the transparent body 11 is operated. The operation is performed while sucking and exhausting the dust floating in the inside through the hollow arm 10. Therefore, the dust generated from the oral cavity of the patient is blocked by the transparent body 12 and does not reach the operator. Moreover, the dust reaching the lower side of the transparent body 11 is sucked and discharged through the arm 10. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the operator from being infected with AIDS, hepatitis B and the like. The transparent body 11 is detachably attached to the tip of the arm 10 so that it can be easily removed, cleaned, and disinfected when dust or the like adheres to it and stains it. There is. The transparent body 11 is preferably attachable to the lower side of the lamp 12, that is, the patient side, so as to prevent the lamp 12 from becoming dirty due to the adhesion of dust. If the cover of 11 is easily removable, the cover is not limited to this, and may be attached to the upper side of the lamp. In the case of the illustrated example, the tip of the arm 10 is divided into two mats 10a and 10b, a lamp 12 is attached between the two mating parts 10a and 10b, and the transparent plate 11 is attached from below the lamp 12. The transparent plate 11 may be placed on the upper side of the two mating parts 10a and 10b as described above. In addition, a plurality of dust suction holes 10 ′ may be provided along the axial direction on the lower side of the second mating parts 10 a and 10 b, preferably slightly inward, but in that case, of course, However, it is necessary to devise the structure, arrangement, etc. of the transparent body 11 so that the transparent body 11 does not come in front of these holes. The board 11 does not come.

【effect】

 Although the illuminator with a protector according to the present invention has been described above, the illuminator is used in place of the surgical light shown in FIG. Used together, the lamp is used to illuminate the inside of the patient's mouth during the operation, while effectively preventing the dust generated from the patient's mouth from reaching the operator. Since it is sucked and discharged, it is possible to effectively prevent the operator from being infected with AIDS, hepatitis B and the like.
