Abstract

A tubular member for suction devices, in particular saliva ejectors composed of a tubular member and a tip, is made of plasticized PVC with a core made of a metal wire. The metal wire has to adhere to the tubular member to avoid longitudinal mutual sliding of the two elements. The adhesion is assured, without using glue, by the molecular structure of the PVC near the surface of the metal wire which is obtained by properly heating the metal wire just before it enters an extrusion head in which the tubular member is created.

Description

SALIVA EJECTOR AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME Technical Field
The present invention concerns a tubular element for suction devices, in particular it concerns a saliva ejector for dentistry.
The present invention also concerns a method for making the above tubular elements.
Background Art
In dentistry they are commonly used saliva ejectors for draining saliva fluid and other fluids which produces during dentistry works. This saliva ejectors are usually composed of a tubular member which at one end fits an opening of a suction device, while at the other end it mounts a tip providing apertures. The tubular member is usually made of extruded plasticized PVC in which is embedded a malleable metal wire. The malleable wire keeps the tubular member in the desired shape which is obtained by bending the tubular member and it also prevents the collapse of the tubular member under the suction action. Anyway, it has been found that the wire tends to longitudinally slide with regard to the tubular member due to the forces generated by the bending. Because of the above sliding movement after bending the wire extends from the end of the tubular member and it may cause wounds to the mucous membranes of the mouth if the tubular member is used without the relative tip, for instance for having a greater sucking action. In addiction, even if the tubular member is used with its tip, the extending wire could hamper the placement of the tip.
A solution to the problem of preventing the longitudinal sliding of the metal wire with regard to the tubular member is proposed for instance in US 3,541,583 in which the wire is provided with serrations or grooves which are able to oppose the sliding. This solution, which anyway is not very effective, causes a raise in the tubular member production costs as the wire has to be subjected to specific operations in order to obtain the serrations or grooves.
A different solution, which is nowadays largely used consists of gluing the metal wire to the tubular member by a specific water based glue. Obviously, also this solution has additional producti8on costs. In fact, the saliva ejectors are conventionally produced by extrusion in plants in which rolls of metal wire are mounted in unwinding machines; the unwound wire is passed through a straightening device and then through cleaning devices, and finally it reaches an extrusion machine made of an extrusion body where granular plasticized PVC is fed and a pulling device. Between the extrusion machine and the pulling device are usually arranged cooling tanks. In order to glue the metal wire to the tubular member, after cleaning, the wire is passed in a tank containing glue so that its surface is covered with glue. Since a water based glue is used, the water has to be evaporated before the wire enters the melting PVC. In fact, the presence of water during the extrusion process would give origin to gas bubbles having a bad effect on the structure and the aesthetic appearance of the saliva ejector. The water is evaporated by passing the wire through an induction device which heats the wire at a temperature among 100 and 150°C which is able to promptly dry the glue.
Disclosure of Invention
It is object of the present invention to propose a tubular member of a saliva ejector which is able to overcome the above limits of the prior art.
It is another object of the present invention to propose a very effective and low cost saliva ejector.
It is further object of the present invention to propose a method for making a tubular member for suction devices, in particular saliva ejectors.
According to an aspect of the present invention the above objects are obtained by a tubular member for suction devices in which said tubular member is a plastic flexible member having a malleable elongated member embedded in its wall, wherein said elongated malleable member has a smooth surface and said tubular member is made of plasticized PVC, whit the tubular member adhering to the malleable elongated member without the need of using any kind of glue.
In particular, the tubular member adheres to the elongated malleable member because of it has, close to the surface of the elongated malleable member, a molecular structure different from the molecular structure that it has in the remaining portions.
A tubular member, in particular of saliva ejectors, as above outlined, adheres to its core, that is the elongated malleable member, in a similar or better way than correspondent tubular members which are glued to the core, so that even when the tubular member is bent, the elongated malleable member do not protrude from the end of the tubular member. In addiction, the lack of gluing substances assures that no toxic substances are used.
According to another aspect of the invention, the above objects are obtained by a method for producing e tubular member for suction devices in which said tubular member is a plastic flexible tubular member having a malleable elongated member embedded in its wall, and in which said tubular member is obtained by extruding plasticized PVC in a extrusion head heated at a temperature comprised between 130°C and 190°C and in which a metal wire fed to said extrusion head form said malleable elongated member, said method being characterized in that the metal wire enters the extrusion head at a temperature comprised between 180°C and 600°C.
The metal wire preferably enters the extrusion head at a temperature between 200°C and 500°C.
If the metal wire enters the extrusion head at the above said temperature, when it come in contact with the PVC it causes structural changes of the PVC at a molecular level which promote the adhesion to the metal wire.
Advantageously, upstream said extrusion head, the metal wire in the unwound configuration is subjected to subsequent steps of:
  • surface cleaning made by mechanical devices; and
  • heating at a temperature comprised between 200°C and 600°C obtained by means of an inductive device.
Since the heating of the metal wire causes the adhesion of the tubular member to the metal wire itself, there is no need of passing the metal wire through tanks containing glue.
Brief Description of Drawings
These and more features of the present invention will be more easily comprehensible thanks to the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, given as a non limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • figure 1 shows a perspective view of a saliva ejector according to the present invention;
  • figure 2 shows a cross section view of the tubular member of the saliva ejector of fig. 1;
  • figure 3 shows a block layout of a plant for producing saliva ejectors according to the present invention;
  • figure 4 shows a section view of an extrusion head for the production of saliva ejectors.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
With reference to fig. 1 it is pointed as whole with 10 a saliva ejector comprising a tubular member, 20, according to the present invention, to which can be associated a conventional perforated tip, 30, which is inserted at one end of the tubular member whereas the other end of the tubular member is inserted at the end of a suction device which is part of the tool kit of dentistry work station.
The tubular member 20 has a total length comprised between 125 mm and 150 mm, with an external diameter comprised between 6,3 mm and 6,7 mm and an internal diameter comprised between 4,2 mm and 4,8 mm.
As it can be seen in fig. 2, the tubular member 20 has embedded within a malleable elongated member, 21, which is usually a smooth steel wire covered with copper or zinc and having diameter of about 1 mm. The tubular member 20 is made of PVC plasticized with diottilftalate.
In the tubular member 20 of the present invention the plasticized PVC adheres directly to the surface of the metal wire, without the need of interposing gluing substances, and the adhesion force is sufficient to prevent sliding of the metal wire with respect to the tubular member upon bending of the tubular member itself.
The above happens because close to the surface of the metal wire the PVC has a molecular structure which is different from the molecular structure that it has in the remaining portions. Such molecular structure is obtained thanks to the method for making the tubular member according to the present invention which is disclosed in the following.
With reference to fig. 3, a roll of metal wire is mounted in a unwinding machine, 110, for instance an axial unwinder. A walker member having a linear encoder manages the unwinding rate and synchronizes the roll unwinding rate with a pulling device, 170, rate of an extrusion head, 150.
The metal wire unwound is passed through a straightening device, 120, which eliminates the curves of the wire.
After straightened the surface of the wire is cleaned by passing the wire through several mechanical members, 130, providing cleaning elements covered with plastic sponges.
The straight wire is then passed through an inductive device, 140, that heats it up to a temperature of about 350°C, or, in any case comprised between 200°C and 500°C.
At a distance of about 800 mm from the inductive device 140 the metal wire enters the extrusion head of an extrusion machine, 150. The granular plasticized PVC is inserted in the extrusion machine by a hopper and it is progressively heated up to reach a fluid state. The extrusion machine is substantially an elongated tank heated by electrical resistances and crossed along by a screw feeder which pushes the PVC towards the extrusion head.
As it can be seen in fig. 4 the extrusion head, 151, is inclined about 90° with respect to the screw feeder which pushes the PVC towards a conveyor, 152. The fluid PVC from the conveyor goes into a helicoidal conduit made in the surface of a cylindrical member, 153 which leads the material to a moulding drawing cone, 154. Along the axis of the cylindrical member 153 and the cone 154 there is a little hole, 155 for the passage of air. The use of air at a pressure from 0,2 to 0,4 bar prevent the plastic material exiting the moulding cone from losing its tubular shape before it solidifies. A further hole, 156, is for the passage of the metal wire which is the malleable flexible member 21. The extrusion head 151 is heated by further electric resistances which bring the PVC up to temperatures of about 150°C.
With reference to fig. 3 again, the tubular member 20 which comes out the extrusion head crosses a set of cooling tanks containing cold water which are able to lower the temperature of the PVC from 150°C to about 15°C in 15 seconds.
At the end of the cooling tanks there is the pulling device 170 which is mad of two counter-rotating belts, which can be vertically set to adjust the traction force, and the belts' drive motor is connected to a potentiometer in the control board.
Downstream the pulling device there is a cutter, 180, for cutting the tubular members at the desired length. Since the tubular members are subjected to cut after the extrusion process, the tubular member in PVC and the metal wire within have exactly the same length so that al so a little mutual sliding movement causes the metal wire to protrude from the end of the tubular member. Also in view of the above the PVC has to perfectly adhere to the metal wire within.
The production plant can be completed with a tip assembling machine, 190, which mounts the tips at one end of the tubular members and with a packaging machine, 200.
The above described characteristics and advantages of a tubular member for suction devices according to the present invention, and of the method for making the same, remain unchanged also in case of different embodiments of the invention.
With reference in particular to the method for making the tubular members of the invention, the wire can be heated before entering the extrusion head by means of different heating devices with respect to the inductive device 140. Further steps of the method, such as the cleaning wire cleaning procedure, the wire unwinding, the cooling of the tubular member in the cooling tanks, or still other steps could be avoided or they could be performed in different ways.
These and other changes or modifications could be carried out to the device and method of the present invention, still remaining within the ambit of protection provided by the following claims.
