Definitions
- the invention relates to a medical, in particular dental, medical handpiece and to a splash guard for the outlet of such a handpiece.
- a handpiece and a splash guard of the present types are e.g. in EP 0 858 783 or in US 6 325 624 Dl or in WO 96/12 447.
- Essential features of such a known handpiece are the rod shape with a rear coupling element for detachably coupling the handpiece to a flexible supply hose for water and / or air and an outlet for an abrasive medium at the front end of the handpiece, the outlet being arranged laterally in a dental handpiece is to ensure a flow of the abrasive medium extending transversely to the longitudinal center axis of the handpiece.
- Such a side outlet is advantageous in order to have sufficient possibilities for treating desired tooth surfaces in the narrow mouth of the patient.
- a splash guard with an open free space is detachably attached to the known handpieces, a feed line for the abrasive medium opening into this free space.
- the opening of the free space is roughly adapted to the size of the surface to be treated. Due to the presence of the splash guard in the form of a concentration hood, the abrasive medium flowing out is largely prevented from spreading before or after it strikes the surface to be treated. This improves the effectiveness of the abrasive medium on the surface to be treated.
- lateral outlet openings are provided in the peripheral wall surrounding the free space, which ensure a lateral outlet of the medium in order to maintain the flow.
- the splash guard is a detachable and thus optionally removable component in the form of a tube piece which can be attached directly or indirectly to a so-called cannula, which can be detachably connected to the handle part of the handpiece.
- the splash guard can be attached to a head-like disk of the cannula.
- there is a sleeve connection with an elastic connection Clamping function of the sleeve is provided, the tubular splash guard being clampable due to elastic expansion on a tubular outlet nozzle.
- Such a clamp connection is only non-positively effective and therefore sensitive.
- a splash guard is connected by a latching device to an attachment which is arranged on a cannula.
- the invention has for its object to improve the releasable connection between the splash guard and the handpiece in a handpiece or a splash guard of the present types.
- more connection strength and security should be achieved with regard to an unintentional solution of the connection.
- the solubility should basically be unaffected and, if possible, also improved, in order to ensure that the splash guard is easy to install or remove.
- a latching device for connecting the splash guard to the handpiece is provided, which is effective due to the elastic flexibility of a spring tongue. Because of the elastic compliance, the splash guard can be pushed over the thickening of the latching body with a manually applied pushing force, wherein the spring tongue bends out and in the locking position the at least one locking lug engages behind the undercut of the locking body. As a result, the security of the connection is improved in comparison with the known configurations. To release the splash guard, a certain, easily applied tensile force is required which overpresses the latching, the latching lug being automatically moved or stretched into its open position.
- the latching lug or the spring tongue preferably rests on the latching body with an elastic clamping tension, as a result of which the connection or the seat is further stabilized without complicating the loosening.
- the spring tongue and / or the latching lug can be designed in the form of a slotted ring or it can be designed as a segment, wherein several spring tongues with latching lugs, for example two or three pieces, can also be arranged in a segmented manner opposite one another.
- a ring-shaped latching lug and for at least one segment-shaped latching lug it is advantageous to manufacture the tubular body of the splash guard or the latter entirely from a material of low elastic expansion, but with elastic flexibility, for example from plastic, which is simple, quick and inexpensive Manufacturing enables, especially when the splash guard is an injection molded part.
- the latching body has a spherical or spherical section-shaped thickening which the splash guard elastically engages over and behind.
- a rounded thickening also gives rise to ramp-shaped insertion surfaces between the at least one latching lug and the latching body, which cause the latching lug to move automatically when plugged together and thereby move the latter into its release position.
- the inner surface of the one or more latching lugs is adapted to the convex shape of the spring tongues, a stable connection with a firm fit is achieved.
- the latching device between the tubular splash guard body itself and a latching body surrounding the outlet, or to arrange the latching body next to the outlet, so that the splash guard also has the latching elements in addition to the actual splash guard body can be locked with a locking body on the handpiece side. It is furthermore possible to arrange the locking body on the handpiece designed as a handle part or on a cannula, which is preferably detachably connected to the handle part.
- an operation or treatment site can only be accessed with the handpiece to a limited extent. This applies in particular to a patient's mouth and to a dental handpiece. It should be taken into account that the splash guard should be adapted to the area of the treatment site with the edge of its splash guard body in order to ensure that the splash guard functions properly.
- the invention is therefore further based on the object of improving a splash guard according to the preamble of claim 11 or 13 with regard to its adaptability to the treatment site and / or different treatments.
- the protective body is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, and therefore the protective body can be rotated into special positions and thus adapted to the treatment site.
- This configuration is particularly advantageous if the edge of the hood-shaped protective body is asymmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation, for. B. has different edge heights. But even if edge sections and edge recesses are arranged on the edge of the hood-shaped protective body, these can be adjusted to desired positions by a rotary adjustment.
- An advantageous development consists, for. B. is to provide a segment-shaped edge section on one side, which is moved for treatment in a certain circumferential position, in which it protects the area behind it from exposure to the abrasive fluid.
- the splash guard is connected by a screw connection to the handpiece or to a cannula, preferably detachably connected to a handle part of the handpiece.
- a screw connection is characterized by great stability, which also ensures a secure connection in that the screw connection is tightened with a three-phase voltage and is positioned self-locking in its respective screw end position.
- Further subclaims contain features that relate to flow openings of the splash guard or to splash guard pins or segments present between the flow openings. A flexible arrangement of the pins or segments is particularly advantageous in order to prevent a blockage of the free space and to allow at least one of the existing splash protection parts to evade.
- the splash protection parts are formed by elongated bodies which are arranged directly next to one another, for example in the form of a pin or bristle, or can be at a distance from one another and are elastically bendable overall or are elastically bendable on a joint, for example in the form of a film hinge is.
