[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cover for a dental instrument holder made of a soft resin material, which can be attached to the upper surface of the dental instrument holder and can be removed and washed off when it becomes dirty.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in a dental treatment table, a tray table is provided on the side of a treatment chair, and a plurality of dental instruments can be placed or taken out under the table to provide a case-shaped dental instrument. The holder is installed. In addition, the instrument holder is provided with a vertically elongated incision groove and a guide roller for leading out a movable hose that makes it easy to mount or take out the individual instruments independently. Further, the tray table is used in general dental treatment including processing of denture impression wax.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 At the time of dental treatment, the doctor performs processing using wax on the tray table, so the dental instrument holder located below it is liable to get dirty due to the adhesion of melts that fall during the processing, and frequently Need to be cleaned. However, since the instrument holder has a complicated shape, it is difficult to clean, and even if it is cleaned, dirt remains in the gaps and dents in the corners. Storing the instrument in a dirty instrument holder may cause dirt to attach to the instrument or to the doctor's fingers, which may adversely affect dental treatment. In addition, the stains gradually become stains, increasing the feeling of uncleanness, making patients uncomfortable, and impairing the cleanliness of the dental clinic.

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and covers the upper surface of the instrument holder with a cover made of a soft resin material. When the cover is dirty, the cover is removed and washed. It aims to keep the instrument holder clean by dropping it. That is, the present invention is a dental instrument made of a soft resin material, which is adapted to the surface shape of the dental instrument holder and is detachably formed from the upper side so that it can be removed and washed off when it becomes dirty. It is the cover of the holder. Examples of the soft resin material include soft resin materials such as polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyurethane resin, silicone resin, and synthetic rubber. The cover of the present invention molds and manufactures these materials by a molding method such as compression molding or vacuum molding. To be done.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the mutual relationship between the cover of the present invention and an instrument holder, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A 'of the cover of the present invention of FIG. In the figure, 1 is a dental instrument holder, 2 is a cover of the present invention, 3 is a longitudinal groove, 4 is a guide roller, 5 is a stop plate, 6 is a dental instrument, and 7 is a movable hose. The dental instrument holder 1 is formed in a rectangular shape that is long on the left and right, and five longitudinal grooves 3 are cut out and arranged in parallel in front of it. In addition, a pair of guide rollers 4, 4 is rotatably installed in each longitudinal groove 3 along the groove 3, and a stopper plate 5 is provided in front of the four longitudinal grooves 3 on the left side. It is attached and sealed, and the front of the groove 3 at the right end is open. As shown in the drawing, various dental instruments 6 (6a ... 6e) are placed and held on the guide rollers 4, 4 in the longitudinal grooves 3 arranged side by side. When the instrument 6 is pulled out or pulled back, the movable hose 7 connected to the instrument 6 passes between the guide rollers 4, 4 and is guided by the rollers 4, 4 so that it can be smoothly drawn in and out. In addition, in the groove 3 whose front end on the right end is open, it is easy to mount and take out the instrument 6 having a shape such as 6e in which the tip protrudes downward long. Further, the instrument holder 1 is sandwiched substantially horizontally between the left and right levers 8 and 8, and the levers 8 and 8 are pivotable on an arm 9 vertically provided below a tray table (not shown). Being pivotally supported, the instrument holder 1 is free to swivel under the tray table.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cover 2 of the present invention conforms to the shape of the instrument holder 1 and includes step portions 2a, 2a at both left and right ends, and five longitudinal grooves 2b cut forward. , A thin cover provided with an insertion allowance 2c for the upper surface of the holder 1, for example, compression molding or vacuum molding using a soft resin material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS resin as a rough material It is a cover molded by the method. Here, the term “suitable for the surface shape” as used in the present invention means a state in which the upper surface shape of the holder 1 or part or all of the upper surface shape and the side surface shape are matched. The cover 2 is always used by being inserted into the upper surface of the holder 1 as shown by an arrow (FIG. 1). When the cover 2 is soiled by treatment, it can be easily removed by washing it. The cleaned cover 2 is reattached and used.
