A dual-string tension dynamometer (1) utilizes two strings (10, 11) wrapped around approximately ninety degrees of a test wheel (12). The lateral forces (E, F) are balanced such that the total lateral force net value is zero. The results reflect purely torsional loading.
摘要:
A dental handpiece (10) of the type having a body (11), a head (13) and a neck (12), is improved by having at least one portion of the handpiece (10) formed by metal injection molding or MIM. The use of MIM allows for improved fabrication and function. According to one aspect of the invention, the head (13) and neck (12) of the handpiece (10) are MIM-formed as a single or unitary piece.

A cordless dental handpiece, a system including a cordless dental handpiece, and a method of connecting a cordless dental handpiece are disclosed. The cordless dental handpiece includes a first module and a second module. The second module is configured to detachably engage the first module. The second module includes a battery compartment.
摘要:
The present application relates to an apparatus and method in the field of dentistry and in particular to optical tools for diagnosis and imaging. It is a problem of the prior art that the use of fibre optic components yield a bulky dental camera with poor resolution. It is an object of the present invention to provide an imaging device (55) for dental instruments comprising a chamber adapted to be secured to the head of a dental instrument and for receiving and removing an imaging device (1), the chamber also adapted for isolating said imaging device from said dental instrument without compromising sterility of the dental instrument, comprising an optical window (53). The imaging device is easily removable from the dental instrument and electronic image detection occurs at the instrument head.

A filter is provided for a dental device of the type including a hand-held working portion which utilizes air and water and a utility supply portion which supplies air and water to the hand-held working portion through respective air and water conduits therein. The filter comprises a filter body defining an air opening therethrough and a water opening therethrough. The air and water openings are respectively positioned for alignment with corresponding air and water openings of at least one of a hand-held working portion and a utility supply portion. The filter body has a filter medium for filtering air and water passing through the respective air and water openings thereof.
摘要:
A detection system for remotely determining the speed of a rotating tool tip in a pneumatic dental handpiece. A means for detecting the speed of the rotating tool tip monitors a periodic mechanical function at the pneumatic hose connected to the handpiece. The monitored periodic mechanical function serves to provide feedback that is used to control the speed of the rotating tool tip. The means for detecting the speed of the rotating tool detects a mechanical function of the rotating tool tip, which in transmitted to a controller. The controller in turn regulates the operation of an air supply valve in response to the detected mechanical function. The valve regulates the flow of air to the handpiece. By continuously adjusting the flow of air through the valve into the pneumatic hose, the speed of the rotating tool is maintained at the desired cutting speed.

A dental handpiece includes a head, a tubular chuck having an open-end axial bore for receiving the shank of a dental bur and a tubular bur tube having an outer surface and an axial bore therethrough for receiving the chuck therein. The bur tube has at least one inner raceway formed integrally along its outer surface. An outer race having an outer raceway is associated with the inner raceway. A plurality of ball bearings are mounted between the raceways. A rotor may be formed integrally with the outer surface of the bur tube.
