Abstract
Structures of a dental care unit used in dental care work are disclosed. A frame part of the dental care unit has one or more components to attach a vertically extending support part, and a cover structure of the frame part has at least a first and a second cover part. The support part extends vertically essentially from an area of a seam locus between the cover parts, whereto is arranged a seam element. The seam element is preferably arranged to emit light as controlled by a control system of the dental care unit. A dental care unit like this is specifically applicable for use in a dental care room or premises having several dental care units.
Claims23
A dental care unit, comprising:
- a frame part comprising a wall structure extending vertically and a cover structure positioning above the wall structure;
- an attaching arrangement comprising a first connecting means to enable attaching a vertically extending support part to the frame part, wherein the vertically extending support part is a part of a support arrangement, which is arranged to support at least one of the following components:
- one or more than one instrument used in dental care, an imaging device used in dental care, an operating light used in dental care;
- a control system of the dental care unit adapted to deliver to said at least one component operating power, fluid and/or control signals needed for operation of the dental care unit;
- characterized in that said cover structure comprises a first and a second cover part which join together in at least one seam locus, and at least one sealing element is arranged at said at least one seam locus;
- and
- wherein to at least one of said first and second cover part is arranged a cut-out or an opening adapted to receive the vertically extending support part, wherein the cut-out or opening adjoins to the area of said at least one seam locus or wherein the cut-out or opening adjoins to the seam locus.
