Abstract

Device which prevents condensation and which provides lighting for a dental mirror. The invention relates to a device preventing condensation from forming on dental mirrors and which lights the auscultated teeth. It consists of a base 1 containing the regulated power supply 2 serving as a support for the sleeve 3 which contains the electric batteries 4, the electric bulb 5, the switch 6, the heat probe 7, the electronic control means 8. The mirror support 9 is detachable for disinfection and sterilisation and contains the optical fibres 10. The heating circuit, receives the connector 13 and the mirror 14. The current for charging the electric batteries passes through the contacts 15-15a and 12-12a. The device according to the invention is intended in particular for dental surgeons.

Description

DESCRIPTIONS
La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui empêche la formation de buée sur les miroirs dentaires et qui éclaire la dent auscultée par le chirurgien-dentiste
Jusqu'à présent les miroirs dentaires mis sur le marché ont l'inconvenient de formation de buée par l'haleine du patient.DESCRIPTIONS
The present invention relates to a device which prevents fogging of dental mirrors and which illuminates the tooth examined by the dental surgeon.
Until now, dental mirrors on the market have had the drawback of the patient's breath fogging.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvenien
Le miroir placé en bout de l'appareil est maintenu à une température telle que toute formation de buée est impossible, sans toutefois apporter de gène au patient. De plus un éclairage vient compléter l'appareil.The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback
The mirror placed at the end of the device is kept at a temperature such that any formation of fogging is impossible, without however bringing gene to the patient. In addition, lighting completes the device.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférentielle l'énergie nécessaire est fournie par des accumulateurs électriques rechargeables contenus dans le manche de l'appareil.According to a preferred embodiment the necessary energy is supplied by rechargeable electric accumulators contained in the handle of the device.

Selon une variante le chauffage du miroir pourrait être fait au gaz par l'intermédiaire d'un petit radiateur ou bien par un fluide circulant derrière le miroir et maintenu à température par un moyen approprié. According to a variant, the heating of the mirror could be done with gas by means of a small radiator or else by a fluid circulating behind the mirror and maintained at temperature by an appropriate means.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention. The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention.

Le dispositif représenté comporte un socle-support (1) contenant une alimentation régulée électroniquement (2) fournissant l'énergie pour la charge des accumulateurs électriques (4) contenu dans le manche (3) dont la charge est controlée par la sonde thermique (7) et le régulateur électronique (8).Le courant de charge passera au travers des contacts (15)-(15bis) et (12)-(12bis), mais pourraient être placés ailleurs dans une autre variante, le passage du courant pourrait se faire avantageusement sans contacts, simplement par liaison magnétique au travers des boitiers du socle Cl) et du manche (3), une ampoule électrique (5) commandée par l'interrupteur (6) fournit l'éclairage qui sera transmis par les fibres optiques (10) jusqu'au niveau du miroir (14). The device shown comprises a support base (1) containing an electronically regulated power supply (2) supplying energy for charging electric accumulators (4) contained in the handle (3), the charge of which is controlled by the thermal probe (7 ) and the electronic regulator (8). The charging current will pass through the contacts (15) - (15bis) and (12) - (12bis), but could be placed elsewhere in another variant, the current flow could advantageously make without contacts, simply by magnetic link through the housings of the base Cl) and the handle (3), an electric bulb (5) controlled by the switch (6) provides the lighting which will be transmitted by optical fibers ( 10) up to the level of the mirror (14).

Le porte miroir (9) facilement démontable du manche (3) pour la désinfection et stérilisation, comporte en sa partie suppérieure un circuit électronique chauffant étanche (11), en sa partie inférieure un connecteur (13) qui vient se connecter en (12).  The mirror holder (9) easily removable from the handle (3) for disinfection and sterilization, comprises in its upper part a sealed electronic heating circuit (11), in its lower part a connector (13) which is connected at (12) .

Le miroir en verre ou inox vient se poser contre la partie chauffante et a l'avantage d'être facilement interchangeable.-
La présente invention est destinée plus particulièrement aux chirurgiens-dentistes. The glass or stainless steel mirror comes to rest against the heating part and has the advantage of being easily interchangeable.
The present invention is intended more particularly for dental surgeons.
