Abstract: The articulator of the present invention provides relative manipulation of dental casts for simulation of occlusal and masticatory movements of the mouth. The articulator consists of three parts—a lower frame, an upper frame, and a middle frame. The lower frame is comprised of an elongated rectangular box, a bracket, and a male hinge. The elongated box has an open bottom and an insert at the top with a series of grooves. The upper frame is comprised of an elongated, channeled surface, a deformable bracket, a female hinge, and a platform with holes. The bottom surface has flat areas to attach a pre-prepared cast with an adhesive. Outside of the flat areas are two rectangular boxes to pour the model stone, forming the opposing cast. A platform with three holes is provided for maintaining the original vertical height of the jaws. The horizontal section of the bracket may be softened by heating for quick bite correction and remounting. The middle frame is snap-seated on top of the elongated box in the lower frame, forming a rectangular box which is filled with the model stone.

Abstract translation: 本发明的咬合器提供了用于模拟口腔咬合和咀嚼运动的牙科铸件的相对操作。 传动器由三部分组成，下部框架，上部框架和中间框架。 下框架由细长矩形框，支架和阳铰链组成。 细长的盒子具有开放的底部和在顶部具有一系列凹槽的插入件。 上框架由细长的通道表面，可变形支架，阴铰链和具有孔的平台组成。 底部表面具有平坦的区域，用粘合剂连接预制的铸件。 在平坦的地区之外是两个矩形的箱子倒模型石头，形成反对的铸造。 提供了一个具有三个孔的平台，用于保持钳口的原始垂直高度。 支架的水平​​部分可通过加热软化以进行快速咬合校正和重新安装。 中间框架卡扣在下框架的细长箱体的顶部，形成一个填充有模型石头的矩形盒子。
