Abstract
A photopolymerization apparatus comprising a charging station and a hand-guidable photopolymerization device, wherein the photopolymerization device comprises at least one reservoir for electrical power and at least one attachment having at least one charging contact, wherein at least one of (i) the at least one attachment is securable to the charging station and (ii) the at least one attachment is securable to the photopolymerization device, wherein the attachment provides at least one electrically conductive connection by means of which the at least one reservoir is rechargeable.
Claims18
A charging station for a wireless photopolymerization device, wherein the photopolymerization device comprises a reservoir for electrical power, that comprises an accumulator or a capacitor, wherein the charging station comprises at least one first electrically conductive charging contact by means of which an electrically conductive connection to an electrically conductive mating charging contact of the photopolymerization device for charging the reservoir is establishable, when the photopolymerization device is connected to the charging station, wherein
- the at least one first electrically conductive charging contact is part of an attachment that is securable to the charging station in releasable manner, wherein the at least one electrically conductive charging contact in the attachment is connectable is electrically conductive manner to at least one second electrically conductive charging contact of the charging station, when the attachment is secured to the charging station.
A wireless photopolymerization device for curing of light-polymerizable dental materials, wherein the photopolymerization device comprises a reservoir for electrical power, that comprises a rechargeable battery or a capacitor, wherein the photopolymerization device comprises at least one first electrically conductive charging contact by means of which an electrically conductive connection to an electrically conductive mating charging contact of a charging station for the photopolymerization device is producible for charging the reservoir, when the photopolymerization device is electrically connected to the charging station, wherein
- the at least one first electrically conductive charging contact is part of an attachment that is securable to the photopolymerization device in releasable manner, wherein the at least one first electrically conductive charging contact in the attachment is connectable in electrically conductive manner to at least one second electrically conductive charging contact in the photopolymerization device, when the attachment is secured to the photopolymerization device.
A photopolymerization apparatus comprising the charging station, a hang-guidable photopolymerization device, wherein the photopolymerization device comprises at least one reservoir for electrical power and at least one attachment having at least one charging contact and wherein at least one of:
- the at least one attachment is securable to the charging station, and
- the at least one attachment is securable to the photopolymerization device,
- wherein the attachment provides at least one electrically conductive connection by means of which the reservoir is rechargeable.
