Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device for clamping a cylindrical instrument shank, in particular, a dental instrument, the clamping device including a spring-loaded element for holding the instrument shank, a hollow shaft for transmitting a rotational movement, and a plunger, with the spring-loaded element being designed as a sleeve with a cylindrical wall, a first opening and a second opening; and the wall having cut-outs. The spring-loaded element, the shaft and the plunger have axes of rotation that are arranged coaxially; the shaft protrudes at least partially into the first opening of the spring-loaded element; and the plunger protrudes at least partially into the second opening of the spring-loaded element.

Abstract: Dental hand piece, comprising a housing and a drive train with a coupling element for a drive, wherein the housing radially surrounds the drive train and wherein the housing has a first and a second housing end, and wherein the housing is held on the drive train on the first and on the second housing end. Between the first housing end and the coupling element is arranged a decoupling element, which is strictly springy or springy and damping in the axial direction, whereas the second housing end is braced rigidly against the drive train and the housing is braced with respect to the coupling element in the axial direction by means of the decoupling element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handpiece head (1) comprising a housing (2) and a closing cap (3), wherein the housing (2) is releasably connected to the closing cap (3) by means of a screw connection (4). The closing cap (3) comprises at least one recess (8) or at least one elevation (7), wherein the housing (2) correspondingly comprises at least one elevation (7) or at least one recess (8). When the closing cap (3) is screwed in, the elevation (7) on the housing (2) engages in the corresponding recess (8) on the closing cap (3) or the elevation (7) on the closing cap (3) engages in the corresponding recess (8) on the housing (2), so that an inadvertent release of the closing cap from the housing (2) as a result of vibrations of the handpiece head (1) is prevented by the engagement.
