Hereinafter, an embodiment of a dental table that is an example provided with an instrument unit holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is merely an example embodying the configuration of the present invention, and the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the matters described in the claims.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the dental table T is provided with an instrument unit holder A according to the present invention on the side where a handle H that is held by a dentist or the like for movement is provided. Is done. The instrument unit holder A is configured, for example, by covering the upper surface of a holder body 2 on which a dental instrument (hereinafter referred to as “handpiece”) 1 used in dentistry is placed with a holder cover 3. ing.

The holder body 2 is formed with a plurality (five in FIG. 1) of instrument insertion portions (hereinafter simply referred to as “insertion portions”) 21 on which the handpiece 1 is placed or inserted. Therefore, the instrument unit holder A according to the present invention can set a wide variety of handpieces 1 such as an air turbine, a micromotor, and a multi-syringe. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the instrument unit holder A will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the holder cover 3 is removed, the instrument unit holder A according to the present invention includes the removed holder cover 3, the holder body 2, and the insertion portion 21 provided on the holder body 2. , It is understood that it is composed of a plate 4 that functions to prevent the handpiece 1 from falling off. Further, it is understood that the handpiece 1 is connected to an instrument hose (hereinafter simply referred to as “hose”) 11 via a connector 12 on the rear end side as one end of the insertion portion 21. The

The holder body 2 forms a rectangular casing with the holder cover 3 and has a box shape with the upper surface opened in FIG. The holder body 2 is formed with a plurality of insertion portions 21 (five in FIG. 2) for inserting or placing the handpiece 1 as described above.

As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion portion 21 forms a substantially U-shape with the guide roller 211 that supports the body portion of the handpiece 1 to be inserted or placed, and the guide roller 211, and the head of the handpiece 1. And a drum-shaped roller 212 that supports the vicinity of the portion. Further, the insertion portion 21 is connected to the guide roller 211 at the rear end portion (one end portion) opposite to the drum-shaped roller 212 and serves as an insertion space for inserting the handpiece 1 connected to the hose 11 from the hose 11 side. An inserted member 213 having an insertion hole is provided. The inserted member 213 is provided with a plate 4 so as to be rotatable. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the detection apparatus 5 which detects that the handpiece 1 was mounted in the back surface on the opposite side to the side in which the plate 4 of the to-be-inserted member 213 is provided, or was taken out. Is provided.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the insertion portion 21 is formed in an oblique direction with respect to the longitudinal direction in the rectangular accommodating portion of the holder body 2. Since the guide roller 211 and the drum-shaped roller 212 forming a substantially U-shape are rollers (rotating bodies), they can be rotated on the spot. Furthermore, since the drum-shaped roller 212 has a constricted drum shape at the center, it has a structure in which the vicinity of the head of the handpiece 1 is easily supported by the constricted center. With these configurations and structures, the present invention provides an advantageous effect that the handpiece 1 can be smoothly pulled out or taken out from the insertion portion 21 and can be easily placed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plate 4 is shaped like a baseball base, and has a structure in which a notch 4a through which the hose 11 is passed is formed at an acute angle portion which is a tip portion of this shape. The notch 4a allows the hose 11 to pass through, but does not pass through the connector 12 constituting the end of the hose 11, and thus does not pass through the hand piece 1, so that the function of preventing the hand piece 1 from falling off can be achieved. The function of preventing the handpiece 1 from falling off is also achieved by the substantially U-shape formed by the guide roller 211 and the drum-shaped roller 212. In addition, a spring 41 is attached to the plate 4 as a biasing member that biases the plate 4 from the inserted member 213 toward the front end that is the other end of the insertion portion 21.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the detection device 5 is, for example, a contact sensor, and a sense portion (not shown) is provided on the inserted member 213 side. On the other hand, the sensed part 42 detected by the sensing part of the detection device 5 is provided on the side of the plate 4 facing the inserted member 213. Further, the inserted member 213 is provided with a hole 213 a for allowing the sensed part 42 to come into contact with the sense part of the detection device 5.

The mechanism by which the sensing part of the detection device 5 senses the sensed part 42 and the operation thereof are as follows. That is, when the handpiece 1 to which the hose 11 is connected is inserted or placed in the insertion portion 21, the plate 4 comes into contact with the inserted member 213 by its own weight, and the sensed portion 42 is also provided on the inserted member 213. It passes through the perforated hole 213a and comes into contact with the sense part of the detection device 5. The detection device 5 detects this contact and releases the power supply to the handpiece 1. If it does so, since air, water, electricity, etc. will no longer be supplied to the handpiece 1, the handpiece 1 stops its operation.

In addition, when the handpiece 1 to which the hose 11 is connected is taken out from the insertion portion 21, the detection device 5 rotates the plate 4 toward the front end portion (the other end portion) of the insertion portion 21 by the bias of the spring 41. Therefore, the sensed part 42 does not come into contact with the sense part of the detection device 5. The detection device 5 detects this non-contact, and the handpiece 1 becomes operable. In this state, by operating the handpiece 1 with a foot controller or the like, air, water, electricity or the like is supplied to the handpiece 1 and the handpiece 1 starts its operation.

The holder cover 3 covers the upper surface of the holder body 2 as shown in FIG. A restricting portion that restricts the plate 4 from rotating in the direction of the front end as the hose 11 is pulled out when the handpiece 1 is pulled out due to friction with the hose 11 or the like while the holder cover 3 is covered. 31 is provided. Specifically, when the restriction portion 31 covers the upper surface of the holder body 2, the restriction portion 31 covers the inserted member 213 and the plate 4 at the rear end portion of the insertion portion 21 provided in the holder body 2. Is formed.

And in the scene where the handpiece 1 to which the hose 11 is connected is taken out from the insertion portion 21, the plate 4 tends to rotate toward the front end as the hose 11 is pulled out due to friction with the hose 11 or the like. And However, since the plate 4 is formed so that the restricting portion 31 of the holder cover 3 covers the inserted member 214, the plate 4 abuts on the restricting portion 31 and further rotation is restricted. Therefore, after the dentist or the like uses the handpiece 1, the plate 4 is not rotated toward the front end of the insertion portion 21 when the handpiece 1 is inserted or placed in the insertion portion 21. The handpiece 1 can be easily inserted or placed in the insertion portion 21 without operating 4 with fingers or the like. Further, the function of preventing the handpiece 1 from falling off can always be maintained satisfactorily.

On the other hand, in a scene such as replacement of the hose 11, the holder cover 3 is removed from the holder main body 2, so that the restricting portion 31 does not exist, and the plate 4 becomes rotatable. Therefore, in setting the new hose 11, the fact that the plate 4 is rotatable is used, the hose 11 is passed from the rear side of the inserted member 213 to the insertion portion 21, and formed by the guide roller 211 and the drum-shaped roller 212. It can be connected to the handpiece 1 through the connector 12 at a substantially U-shaped portion. That is, the new hose 11 and the handpiece 1 can be set without performing complicated actions such as removing components such as the plate 4, the guide roller 211, and the drum-shaped roller 212. Further, after passing the hose 11 through the notch 4a, if the handpiece 1 is placed on the guide roller 211 and the drum-shaped roller 212, the plate 4 is brought into contact with the inserted member 213 by its own weight, and the hand is brought into contact with the plate 4. The function of preventing the piece 1 from falling off can be exhibited.

Further, if the plate 4 is brought into contact with the inserted member 213 by its own weight, the energization of the handpiece 1 is surely released by the detection device 5, so that the handpiece 1 may malfunction. Absent. If the upper surface of the holder main body 2 is covered with the holder cover 3, the movement of the plate 4 is restricted by the restricting portion 31, so that the detection function of the detection device 5 and the function of preventing the plate 4 from falling off are always maintained satisfactorily. can do.

Therefore, the instrument unit holder A according to the present invention has a plate 4 that is rotatable on the rear end side of the insertion portion 21 formed in the holder body 2. Accordingly, the hose 11 is connected to the handpiece 1 via the connector 12 without removing the components such as the plate 4, the guide roller 211, and the drum-shaped roller 212 using the fact that the plate 4 is rotatable. This eliminates the need for complicated work in setting and the like. The present invention also includes a detection device 5 that detects that the handpiece 1 has been placed or taken out. The plate 4 has a function of preventing the handpiece 1 from falling off by passing the hose 11 through the notch 4a. Therefore, after the handpiece 1 is inserted or placed in the insertion portion 21, the detection function by the detection device 5 and its drop-off prevention function can prevent inconvenience such as malfunction or drop-out of the handpiece 1.

Furthermore, since it has the holder cover 3 provided with the control part 31 which controls that the plate 4 rotates, after the holder cover 3 is mounted | worn, the plate 4 does not rotate arbitrarily, but the detection apparatus 5 It is possible to always maintain a good detection function and a function of preventing the plate 4 from falling off. In the present invention, since a plurality of insertion portions 21 are formed in the holder main body 2, various handpieces 1 can be set all at once, which is convenient.

Here, it is preferable that various instruments are inserted or placed in an instrument holder at an angle that can be easily grasped by dentists and hairdressing practitioners when performing dental treatment and hairdressing / beauty treatment. To cope with this, the present invention includes an angle adjustment mechanism that allows the dentist or the hairdresser to adjust the angle of the instrument holder itself on which the instrument is inserted or placed. Can be made.

For example, an instrument holder is connected to the tip of an arm provided on the lower surface of the table and extending and contracting in an arc shape. Furthermore, the center of the virtual circle formed from the arc-shaped locus drawn by the arc-shaped expansion and contraction of the arm is the head of the instrument inserted or placed in the insertion part of the instrument holder. . With such a configuration, even if a dentist or a hairdressing practitioner changes the angle of the instrument holder by extending or contracting the arm, for example, even if the instrument is raised or tilted, its head is a virtual circle. It can be fixed at the center of Accordingly, it is possible to provide an instrument holder capable of preparing an instrument inserted or placed at an easy-to-grip angle, no matter what dentist or the like, or any hairdressing practitioner faces dental treatment or hairdressing. it can.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above as an example, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the matters described in the claims. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the instrument holder according to the present invention is applied to a dental table has been described. However, not only dentistry, but also a table with an instrument holder is known in various medical departments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to dentistry and can be applied in other medical departments. Furthermore, since a table or the like provided with an instrument holder is used for whole body cosmetic procedures such as esthetics, the present invention may be used in such a technical field.

The material of the members and parts constituting the present invention is not limited. Moreover, it is not essential that the plate has a shape in which a notch portion is formed in a home base-like plate, and various shapes can be employed as long as the plate can solve the problems that the present invention has been a subject of. The detection device is not limited to a contact sensor, and various detection devices can be employed as long as the detection device can detect the rotation of the plate, such as an optical sensor.
