Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen zahnärztlichen Instrumentenablagetisch, der außer einer Abstellfläche für Instrumentarium Halterungsmittel für schlauch- und kabelgebundene Handstücke sowie Handhabungsmittel, mit denen eine Lageänderung des Instrumentenablagetisches herbeiführbar ist, enthält.The invention relates to a dental instrument storage table which, in addition to a storage area for instruments, contains holding means for hose- and cable-bound handpieces as well as handling means with which a change in position of the instrument storage table can be brought about.

Ein solcher Zahnärztlicher Instrumentenablagetisch ist aus der DE-A-2 657 675 bekannt.Such a dental instrument storage table is known from DE-A-2 657 675.

Bei zahnärztlichen Instrumentenablagetischen gibt es vornehmlich drei Funktionsbereiche, die praktisch ständig einer Kontamination mit Keimen ausgesetzt sind und deshalb aus hygienischer Sicht besonders kritisch zu betrachten sind. Zum einen sind es die Stell- bzw. Ablageflächen für Instrumentarium (Handinstrumente, Materialien, Instrumententrays), zum andern sind es die Halterungsmittel für die schlauch- und kabelgebundenen Handstücke, die beim Benutzen der Instrumente mit Keimen kontaminiert werden können. Der dritte Funktionsbereich sind die Handhabungsmittel, mit denen eine Lageänderung des Instrumentenablagetisches herbeigeführt werden kann. Bei mechanischer Verfahrbarkeit eines Instrumentenablagetisches sind dies in der Regel ein oder mehrere Griffe bzw. griffähnliche Gebilde, die an geeigneter Stelle des Instrumentenablagetisches vorgesehen sind. Um den Anforderungen an Hygiene zu genügen, ist man schon dazu übergegangen, die Griffe abnehmbar anzuordnen oder mit einem Einmalüberzug zu versehen. Abgesehen davon, daß man mit ersterem Vorschlag nur einen Teil des Hygieneproblems lösen kann, stellen Einmalüberzüge ebenso wie andere einmal benutzbare Materialien, wie z.B. Papierservietten, die man auf die Abstellfläche für das Instrumentarium legen kann, ein zusätzlich benötigtes Material dar, welches den in letzter Zeit ohnehin schon immer stärker anwachsenden Müll noch weiter anwachsen läßt.There are primarily three functional areas of dental instrument storage tables that are practically constantly exposed to contamination with germs and are therefore particularly critical from a hygienic point of view. On the one hand, there are the storage and storage areas for instruments (hand instruments, materials, instrument trays), and on the other hand, there are the holding devices for the hose- and cable-bound handpieces, which can be contaminated with germs when using the instruments. The third functional area is the handling means with which a change in position of the instrument storage table can be brought about. If an instrument storage table can be moved mechanically, these are generally one or more handles or handle-like structures which are provided at a suitable point on the instrument storage table. In order to meet the hygiene requirements, it has already started to arrange the handles detachably or to provide them with a one-time cover. Apart from the fact that with the former proposal only a part of the hygiene problem can be solved, disposable covers as well as other disposable materials, such as paper napkins, which can be placed on the shelf for the instruments, represent an additionally required material, which is the latter in the latter Time has always increased growing garbage even further.

Der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, demgegenüber eine Verbesserung zu erzielen und eine für den Benutzer relativ einfach handhabbare Lösung anzugeben, die eine Sauberhaltung des Instrumentenablagetisches im Sinne der geforderten Hygiene (Reinigung und/oder Desinfektion und/oder Sterilisation) ermöglicht, ohne daß hierzu zusätzliches, einer Entsorgung zuführbares Material benötigt wird.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the object of achieving an improvement and providing a solution which is relatively easy to handle for the user and which enables the instrument storage table to be kept clean in terms of the required hygiene (cleaning and / or disinfection and / or sterilization), without the need for additional material that can be disposed of.

Dadurch, daß gemäß der Erfindung zumindest zwei, vorzugsweise alle drei, Abschnitte der kritischen Funktionsbereiche des Instrumentenablagetisches zu einer Baueinheit zusammengefaßt sind, die leicht abnehmbar am Instrumentenablagetisch gehaltert ist, ist es für den Benutzer relativ leicht, diese Bereiche im Rahmen der ihm zur Verfügung stehenden Möglichkeiten hygienisch einwandfrei sauber zu halten. Die gesamte Baueinheit kann nach Abnahme von den übrigen Teilen des Instrumentenablagetisches z.B. in einer Wasch- oder Desinfektionseinrichtung komplett gereinigt, desinfiziert und gegebenenfalls sterilisiert werden.Characterized in that according to the invention at least two, preferably all three, sections of the critical functional areas of the instrument storage table are combined to form a unit that is easily removable on the instrument storage table, it is relatively easy for the user to use these areas within the scope of the available Ways to keep it hygienically clean. The entire assembly can be removed from the other parts of the instrument storage table, e.g. completely cleaned, disinfected and, if necessary, sterilized in a washing or disinfection facility.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachstehenden Beschreibung.Further advantages result from the subclaims and the description below.

Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a dental instrument storage table in a diagram,
  • FIG. 2 basic body and housing cover part of the instrument storage table in a separate state in a diagrammatic representation,
  • FIG. 3 shows the instrument storage table, partly in longitudinal section,
  • FIG. 4 shows the instrument storage table, partly in cross section,
  • Figure 5 shows a detail from Figure 2 in longitudinal section.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in einer schaubildlichen Darstellung einen zahnärztlichen Instrumentenablagetisch, der außer einer Abstellfläche 1 für Instrumentarium (Handinstrumente, Materialien etc.) mehrere Halterungsmittel 2 für schlauch- und kabelgebundene Handstücke 3 enthält, die auf einer gegenüber der ebenen horizontalen Abstellfläche 1 pultförmig nach vorne schräg geneigten Fläche 4 angeordnet sind. Der Instrumentenablagetisch enthält einen an einem Träger 5 montierten Grundkörper 6, auf dem, wie nachfolgend noch näher erläutert, ein Gehäuseabdeckteil 7 aufgesetzt ist, welches die Abstellfläche 1, die schräge Fläche 4 mit den Halterungsmitteln 2 für die Instrumente 3 sowie beidseitig angeordnete Griffe 8 trägt. Der Träger 5 kann in bekannter Weise als Boden- oder Wandstativ, ebenso als ein- oder mehrarmiger Schwenkarm ausgebildet sein.FIG. 1 shows a graphical representation of a dental instrument storage table which, in addition to a storage area 1 for instruments (hand instruments, materials, etc.), contains a plurality of holding means 2 for hose- and cable-bound handpieces 3, which on a plane in front of the horizontal horizontal storage area 1 obliquely inclined surface 4 are arranged. The instrument storage table contains a base body 6 mounted on a carrier 5, on which, as will be explained in more detail below, a housing cover part 7 is placed, which carries the storage surface 1, the inclined surface 4 with the holding means 2 for the instruments 3 and handles 8 arranged on both sides . The carrier 5 can be designed in a known manner as a floor or wall stand, as well as a single or multi-arm swivel arm.

Die Figur 2 zeigt den Grundkörper 6 sowie das Gehäuseabdeckteil 7 in voneinander getrenntem Zustand bei weggelassenen Handstücken. Der Grundkörper 6, der in bekannter Weise in seinem Inneren diverse Steuer- und Regelteile für die Handstücke aufnimmt und deshalb als Hohlkörper ausgebildet ist, ist zumindest an den Seiten und deckseitig geschlossen. An seiner Rückseite ist eine als Rastnase wirkende Leiste 10 befestigt, die im aufgesetzten Zustand des Gehäuseabdeckteils dessen hinteren Randteil 9 leicht übergreift (Figur 3). Im vorderen Bereich der ebenen Deckfläche des Grundkörpers sind zwei Federelemente 11 vorgesehen, die gegen die Unterseite des die Abstellfläche 1 beinhaltenden Abschnittes 7a des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 drücken (Figuren 3 und 4).FIG. 2 shows the base body 6 and the housing cover part 7 in a separated state with the handpieces omitted. The base body 6, which accommodates various control and regulating parts for the handpieces in its interior in a known manner and is therefore designed as a hollow body, is closed at least on the sides and on the top side. A strip 10, which acts as a latching lug, is fastened on its rear side and, when the housing cover part is in the fitted state, slightly overlaps its rear edge part 9 (FIG. 3). In the front area of the flat cover surface of the base body, two spring elements 11 are provided which press against the underside of the section 7a of the housing cover part 7 which includes the storage surface 1 (FIGS. 3 and 4).

Der die schräge Fläche 4 beinhaltende Abschnitt 7b des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 enthält, wie aus Figur 5 ersichtlich, einen Randteil 12, der mit einem Rasthaken 13 zusammenwirkt, der mittels Druckfeder 14 belastet am Grundkörper 6 verschiebbar gehaltert ist. Randteil 12 und Rasthaken 13 sind so angeordnet und ausgebildet, daß mit dem Aufsetzen des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 auf den Grundkörper 6 die beiden Teile miteinander in Eingriff kommen. Die Druckfeder sorgt dafür, daß das Gehäuseabdeckteil 7 in dieser Raststellung kraftschlüssig gegen den Grundkörper 6 gedrückt wird. Zum Entriegeln dieser Klemmstellung dient eine Handhabe 15, die integraler Bestandteil des Rasthakens ist. Das Entriegeln ist so mit einer Hand möglich, indem die Handhabe in Pfeilrichtung leicht nach vorne gezogen wird. Wesentlich ist, daß beim Wiederaufsetzen des (gereinigten, desinfizierten oder sterilisierten) Gehäuseabdeckteils die Handhabe nicht berührt zu werden braucht.The section 7b of the housing cover part 7 which contains the inclined surface 4 contains, as can be seen from FIG. 5, an edge part 12 which cooperates with a latching hook 13 which is supported on the base body 6 such that it can be moved by means of a compression spring 14. Edge part 12 and locking hook 13 are arranged and designed so that the two parts come into engagement with one another when the housing cover part 7 is placed on the base body 6. The compression spring ensures that the housing cover part 7 is pressed non-positively against the base body 6 in this latching position. A handle 15, which is an integral part of the locking hook, is used to unlock this clamping position. It can be unlocked with one hand by pulling the handle slightly forward in the direction of the arrow. It is essential that the handle does not need to be touched when the (cleaned, disinfected or sterilized) housing cover part is replaced.

Wie aus Figur 4 ersichtlich ist, übergreift das hier im Querschnitt dargestellte Gehäuseabdeckteil 7 den Grundkörper 6 beidseitig, wodurch ein gewisser Schutz des Grundkörpers 6 vor einem (in der Regel ebenfalls mit Keimen kontaminierten) Aerosolniederschlag gegeben ist. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, ist diese Verbreiterung des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 auch im Frontbereich vorhanden.As can be seen from FIG. 4, the housing cover part 7, shown here in cross section, engages over the base body 6 on both sides, which provides some protection for the base body 6 against aerosol precipitation (which is also generally contaminated with germs). As can be seen from FIG. 2, this widening of the housing cover part 7 is also present in the front area.

Die Unterseite des übergreifenden Teils des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 ist vorzugsweise zu beiden Seiten mit Griffmulden 16 versehen, die das Abnehmen des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7 erleichtern. An der Oberseite befinden sich zwei längs des Tisches verlaufende Erhebungen 19, die einem eventuell auf die Abstellfläche 1 plazierbaren Instrumententray einen besseren Halt geben.The underside of the overlapping part of the housing cover part 7 is preferably provided on both sides with recessed grips 16 which facilitate the removal of the housing cover part 7. At the top there are two elevations 19 running along the table, which give a better hold to an instrument tray that may be placed on the storage surface 1.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Halterungsmittel für die Handstücke als Ablageköcher ausgebildet. Deren Wandungen 17 sind zumindest so weit, wie sie durch das Entnehmen und die Wiederablage der Instrumente mit Keimen kontaminiert werden können, integraler Bestandteil des Gehäuseabdeckteils 7. Die zum Steuern der Antriebe der Handstücke vorgesehenen Sensoren in Form von z.B. Lichtschranken sind zweckmäßigerweise nicht im Gehäuseabdeckteil 7, sondern im Grundkörper 6 in bekannter Weise angeordnet. In den Figuren 2 und 3 sind die entsprechenden Stellen mit der Position 18 gekennzeichnet. Das Gehäuseabdeckteil 7 ist somit frei von elektrischen oder elektronischen Bauteilen.In the illustrated embodiment, the holding means for the handpieces are designed as storage quivers. Their walls 17 are at least as far as they can be contaminated with germs by removing and re-depositing the instruments, an integral part of the housing cover part 7. The sensors provided for controlling the drives of the handpieces, for example in the form of light barriers, are expediently not in the housing cover part 7 , but in Base body 6 arranged in a known manner. In Figures 2 and 3, the corresponding positions are marked with the position 18. The housing cover part 7 is thus free of electrical or electronic components.

Obgleich es denkbar ist, die Teile 7a, 7b und 8 getrennt vom Grundkörper abzunehmen und den vorhandenen Reinigungseinrichtungen zuzuführen, ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn diese Teile ein einteiliges Bauteil bilden. Dieses Bauteil besteht aus einem zumindest gegen die üblichen Reinigungs- und/oder Desinfektionsmittel und gegebenenfalls Sterilisationsmittel widerstandsfähigen Material, z.B. aus Melamin-Harz oder Glas.Although it is conceivable to remove the parts 7a, 7b and 8 separately from the base body and to feed them to the existing cleaning devices, it is particularly advantageous if these parts form a one-piece component. This component consists of a material which is at least resistant to the usual cleaning agents and / or disinfectants and possibly sterilizing agents, e.g. made of melamine resin or glass.
