Claims7
A portable dental mixing device comprising:
- a main support housing, a drive gear assembly having a rotational input and linear output,
- a product capsule carrying assembly in direct communication with said drive gear assembly such that said linear output of said drive gear causes linear oscillation of said product capsule carrying assembly,
- a sensing and timing means responsive to said linear oscillation of said product capsule carrying assembly, said sensing and timing means including a signal illumination that activates in response to said linear oscillation of said product capsule carrying assembly to indicate proper linear oscillation speed and duration has been achieved and maintained, and a source of power for said sensing and timing means.
