Abstract

A method of labelling tools, especially root canal files with a file member and a handle member, for facilitating identification of size and differentiating different sizes from each other, whereby the handles are labelled with two colours when the size differs from the sizes taken up in the ISO or ADA Standard and thereby stipulated colour, so that the handle has the stipulated colour for the closest underlying size as well as the stipulated colour for the closest above lying size, as well as root canal file labelled with the method and a kit comprising root canal files assorted according to size.

Description

20 25 30 35 .f O \J'\ :Silli (i. 2 enligt uppfinningen, innefattande en fildel med aktuell storlek och en handtagsdel, varvid fildelen är infäst i handtagsdelens ena ände, kännetecknad av att handtagsdelen vid den i förhållan- de till fildelen motsatta änden uppvisar ett ansats, och av en hatt för applicering på nämnda ansats, t.ex. genom påsnäppning, varvid handtagsdelen och hatten uppvisar olika färger valda i beroende av aktuell storlek så att handtagsdelen uppvisar en färg som motsvarar närmast under liggande storlek enligt ISO- normen (eller ADA-normen för USA). Silli (i. 2 according to the invention), comprising a file part of the current size and a handle part, the file part being attached to one end of the handle part, characterized in that the handle part at the relative to the the file part opposite the end has a shoulder, and of a hat for application to said shoulder, for example by snap-on, the handle part and the hat having different colors selected depending on the current size so that the handle part has a color which corresponds most closely below the horizontal size according to The ISO standard (or the ADA standard for the United States).

Uppfinningen avser vidare en kit innehållande storlekssorterade filar, t.ex. tillverkade i mellanstorlekarna 12,5 -- 37,5 mm, märkta med handtagsfärger enligt ISO-norm (ADA-norm för USA) med lila för 10 mm, vit för 15 mm, gul för 20 mm, röd för 25 mm, blå för 30 mm och grön för 35 mm med hattar i färgerna vit, gul, röd, blå, grön, resp. svart för att markera mellanstorlekarna 12,5, 17,5, 22,5 27,5, 32,5 resp. 37,5 mm.The invention further relates to a kit containing sized files, e.g. made in medium sizes 12.5 - 37.5 mm, marked with handle colors according to ISO standard (ADA standard for USA) with purple for 10 mm, white for 15 mm, yellow for 20 mm, red for 25 mm, blue for 30 mm and green for 35 mm with hats in the colors white, yellow, red, blue, green, resp. black to mark the intermediate sizes 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 27.5, 32.5 resp. 37.5 mm.

Uppfinningen kommer att beskrivas närmare nedan i anslutning till den bifogade ritningen, på vilken figuren visar en rotkanalfil utformad enligt en föredragen utföringsform av uppfinningen.The invention will be described in more detail below in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which the figure shows a root canal file designed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Den i figuren visade rotkanalfilen 1 har en fildel 2 och en handtagsdel 3. Handtagsdelen 3 består av en väsentligen cylin- derformad handtagskropp 4, i vars ena ände fildelen 2 är infäst, och en hatt 5, vilken är anordnad på en vid handtagskroppens 4 motstående ände anordnad ansats 6 med snäppfäste (icke visat).The root canal file 1 shown in the figure has a file part 2 and a handle part 3. The handle part 3 consists of a substantially cylindrical handle body 4, in one end of which the file part 2 is attached, and a hat 5, which is arranged on an opposite side of the handle body 4. end arranged shoulder 6 with snap bracket (not shown).

Härvid har handtagskroppen 4 en färg FÄRG 1, och hatten 5 en annan färg FÄRG 2.In this case, the handle body 4 has a color COLOR 1, and the hat 5 a different color COLOR 2.

Dessa färger väljes i enlighet med den inledningsvis diskuterade normen (ISO resp. ADA), så att för en storlek mellan två storle- kar för vilka färgen är bestämd enligt norm, handtaget har en färg som motsvarar närmast underliggande storlek och hatten har en färg som motsvarar närmast över liggande storlek.These colors are selected in accordance with the initially discussed standard (ISO or ADA), so that for a size between two sizes for which the color is determined according to the standard, the handle has a color corresponding to the nearest underlying size and the hat has a color that corresponds most closely to the horizontal size.

Method for marking tools, in particular root canal files with a file part and a handle part, to facilitate identification of size and distinction of different sizes from each other, characterized in that the handles are marked with two colors when the size differs from in ISO or ADA - (USA) - standard occupied size and thus determined color, whereby the handle has both the standard color for the nearest underlying size and the standard color for the nearest overlying size.

Root canal file marked with the method according to claim 1, comprising a file part of current size and a handle part, wherein the file part is attached to one end of the handle part, characterized in that the handle part (3) has at the end opposite to the file part (2) an approach (6), and of a hat (4) for application to said approach, e.g. by snap-on, whereby the handle part and the hat have different colors (COLOR 1 or COLOR 2) selected depending on the current size so that the handle part shows a color that corresponds to the nearest underlying size according to the ISO standard (or ADA standard for the USA ) and the hat has a color corresponding to the immediately overlying color according to said standard.

Kits containing sized files according to claim 2, e.g. made in medium sizes 12.5 - 37.5 mm, marked with handle colors according to ISO standard (ADA standard for USA) with purple for 10 mm, white for 15 mm, yellow for 20 mm, red for 25 mm, blue for 30 mm and green for 35 mm etc. with hats in the colors white, yellow, red, blue, green, resp. black etc. to mark the intermediate sizes 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 27.5, 32.5 resp. 37.5 mm etc.
