Abstract
A dental mirror cleaner that utilizes a spray of high pressure water and air at an angle across the reflective face of a dental mirror while in a patient's mouth to clean debris, blood and condensation from the mirror. It redirects the flow of the water and or air away from the centerline or linear axis of the mirror handle and sprays it offset from this centerline in a hemispherical pattern at an approximate 35 to 45 degree angle across the mirrored face.
Claims6
A dental mirror cleaning device, comprising:
- a barrel handle having a proximal, media inlet end and a distal, media outlet end and a linear axis;
- a mirror affixed to said media outlet end;
- a proximal bore formed in said barrel handle, from said media inlet end, and residing along said linear axis of said barrel handle;
- a distal bore formed in said barrel handle, from said media outlet end, and residing parallel to said linear axis of said barrel handle;
- a media spray diverter tube frictionally engaged with said barrel handle at said media outlet end, said media spray diverter tube having a planar top inlet face, a bottom discharge face and a planar inner face perpendicular to said top face and said bottom discharge face;
- a media outlet through-bore formed through said media spray diverter tube between said top inlet face and said bottom discharge face;
- wherein said distal bore and said proximal bore have an intersection, but have offset, parallel axes that are non-colinear;
- at least one media spray diverter tube locking peg;
- at least one media spray diverter tube locking socket;
- and wherein said distal bore, said proximal bore and said media outlet through-bore form a non-linear fluid passage between said media inlet end of said barrel handle and said bottom discharge face of said media spray diverter tube.
