JPH0795994A - Signal device for dental patient - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform an intension for temporarily stopping treatment to a densist by arranging an information member at a location easily confirmed by the dentist and electrically connecting the same to an operation source and a switch means to form a circuit and performing the closing operation of the switch means to operate the information member. CONSTITUTION:A blue or red miniature bulb is arranged at a location close to the mouth of the patient whose head is placed on the pillow part 2 of a treatment chair 1 and easily confirmed by a dentist as an information member. One of the secondary sides of a transformer wherein AC voltage of 100V is dropped to necessary voltage using the transformer as the operation source 4 allowing the miniature bulb to light is connected to one of the filaments of the miniature bulb and the other one of the filaments of the miniature bulb is connected to the other secondary side of the transformer through a push button switch 5. This signal device is desirably built in as a part of the structure of the treatment chair 1 but may be formed separately from the treatment chair 1.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for sending a signal when a patient who is undergoing dental treatment wants a doctor to suspend the treatment. It can also be applied to treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is no means or signal device for allowing a doctor to temporarily stop treatment while a patient is undergoing treatment.

[0003]

Grinding of teeth is necessary for the treatment of teeth. Conventionally, when grinding a tooth, a large opening is provided to prevent the patient from being injured, and cooling water is poured into the tooth to be ground while suctioning from one side.
Even in this case, the cooling water had to be swallowed little by little. Therefore, it is good if the balance between water injection and suction is maintained, but once the balance is lost, the cooling water accumulated in the mouth must be swallowed all at once.
However, during treatment of teeth, the neck is in a stretched state, and if the mouth is wide open and the tongue is not moved, switching between the trachea and the esophagus does not work well, and swallowing at once in a row is very difficult. From the above, the patient wants to be treated while stopping in a choppy manner, but the treatment is recommended by the doctor, and even if the doctor says that he / she should be distressed, he wills. Since I had no means to display it, I had to put up with it even though I was in pain, so I was in tension. Therefore, the cooling water sometimes entered the trachea and spouted out. Moreover, each patient's distress was different, and there was no way for the doctor to judge how often treatment should be continued. Therefore, as a patient, there was a demand for the appearance of a signal device for requesting a temporary stop of treatment, and as a doctor, there was a need for a means for the patient to automatically indicate the intention of a temporary stop request. There is nothing to be satisfied.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides "a notification member (3) is installed at a site which a doctor can easily confirm, and the notification member (3) and an operation source (4) are provided. An alarm member (3) is formed by electrically connecting with the opening / closing means (5) to form a circuit and performing a closing operation of the opening / closing means (5).
It is intended to provide "a signal device characterized by activating" to display an intention.

[0005]

[Function] The patient can request the doctor to suspend the treatment at any time, and the doctor can automatically grasp the request for the suspension of each patient.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in [Fig. 1], a portion such as blue and red is added as a notification member (3) to a portion of the treatment chair (1) near the mouth of the patient in the pillow portion (2) where the doctor can easily confirm. Install a miniature light bulb. As an operation source (4) for lighting this miniature bulb, one side of the secondary side of the transformer, which has stepped down AC 100v to a required voltage using a transformer, is connected to one of the filaments of the miniature bulb, and the other of the filaments of the miniature bulb is connected. , Is connected to the other side of the secondary side of the transformer through a push button switch which is an opening / closing means (5). This signaling device is preferably incorporated as part of the structure of the treatment chair (1), but it may be formed separately from the treatment chair (1). Further, it is the simplest to connect the alarm member (3), the actuation source (4) and the opening / closing means (5) by wire, but they may be connected by wireless means.

In the above-mentioned [Embodiment], the notifying member (3) was made visible, an AC power source was adopted as the actuation source (4), and a push button switch was used as the opening / closing means (5). As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal buzzer is adopted as the alarm member (3), a dry battery is used as the operation source (4), and a switch based on grip force is used as the opening / closing means (5). It is considered that it is better to use a miniature bulb and a buzzer together as the notification member (3), but of course, only the buzzer or the miniature bulb may be used. The installation site may be outside the treatment chair (1). The connection wiring of each part may be performed according to the above-mentioned [Example].

In the above-mentioned two [embodiments], a miniature electric bulb and a normal type buzzer are used as the notification member (3), and the opening / closing means (5) also uses a mechanical switch. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, an electronic buzzer is used as a notification member (3), a sensor is used as an opening / closing means (5), and a transistor (7) which also functions as an electronic switch having an amplifying action is used. And the electronic buzzer sounds. Further, another electronic circuit may be formed, and an LED may be used as the notification member (3) to provide a visual device.

In this [embodiment], as shown in [FIG. 4], the signaling device is formed separately from the treatment chair (1), and it is mainly of a mobile type and has an alarm member. The clip (9) is attached to the socket of the miniature electric bulb which is (3), and is attached to the collar of the jacket or the like which is a portion near the mouth of the patient for use. In addition, the battery which is the actuation source (4) forms a fountain pen-shaped container that holds about 2 AA or 2 AA, and puts it in the patient's chest pocket or inserts it in the seam of the jacket. , Which is placed on a treatment table and connects the alarm member (3), the actuation source (4) and the opening / closing means (5) to each other so that the patient holds the switch which is the opening / closing means (5). Is.

In this [embodiment], as shown in FIG. 5, a miniature light bulb which is an alarm member (3) and a battery container which is an operation source (4) are integrally formed into a penlight shape. It is put in the chest pocket of the patient or held by fitting it to the seam of the jacket, and is connected to the switch which is the opening / closing means (5) held in the patient's hand. Alternatively, a flexible cord may be extended from the battery container, a socket may be provided at the tip, and a miniature bulb may be attached to bring it closer to the mouth. The above-mentioned [embodiment] shows some cases, and various signaling devices can be formed by combining these [embodiments]. All signaling devices for oral surgery treatment are included in the technical idea of the present invention.

[0011]

The following effects are brought about by the operation of the above construction. Oh, when the patient feels distress, he can stop the treatment immediately. B. I no longer need to be constantly nervous, and I can now receive medical treatment easily. C) Even when cooling water accumulates in the mouth, it is possible to stop it early so that you can swallow it all at once in a timely manner. D, the cooling water entered the trachea and no longer spewed out. Oh, doctors have come to know the patient's desire to stop automatically, so they can continue treatment with peace of mind.
