Abstract

An oral cavity suction device comprising a vacuum hose and a vacuum tip including a tube body having a base end and a distal end that is a suction opening. The oral cavity suction device includes a hose-side light-outputting end face in the vacuum hose arranged to face the distal end side of the vacuum hose to output light input from a light source. The oral cavity suction device includes a light guiding element in the vacuum tip, with a tip-side light-receiving end face arranged to face the base end side of the vacuum tip to guide light input from the tip-side light-receiving end face and project the light. The hose-side light-outputting end face and the tip-side light-receiving end face allow light to be transmitted in a state in which the vacuum tip is completely connected to the vacuum hose.

Dependent claims

An oral cavity suction device including a vacuum hose (2) connected to a suction source and a vacuum tip (1) provided with a tube body having a base end connectable to a distal end of the vacuum hose (2) and a distal end that is a suction opening (11), the oral cavity suction device comprising:

a light source device (41) being a light emitting diode or a halogen lamp that is fixed to an outer surface or an inner surface of the vacuum hose (2) in the vicinity of the distal end of the vacuum hose (2), and is supplied with power;
a hose-side light-outputting end face that is included in the vacuum hose (2) and arranged to face a distal end side of the vacuum hose (2) to output light from the light source device (41);
and
a light guiding element (6) that is included in the vacuum tip (1), has a tip-side light-receiving end face arranged to face a base end side of the vacuum tip (1), and can guide light input from the tip-side light-receiving end face and project the light, wherein
the hose-side light-outputting end face and the tip-side light-receiving end face are positioned to allow light to be transmitted from the hose-side light-outputting end face to the tip-side light-receiving end face in a state in which the vacuum tip (1) is completely connected to the vacuum hose (2).

2 more elements

An oral cavity suction device with lighting, comprising:

an attachment (8A) including a tube body having a base end (82) that can be inserted in a distal end of a vacuum hose (2) connected to a suction source, and a distal end (81) in which a base end (17) of a vacuum tip (1) can be inserted;
a light source device (41) fixed to an outer surface or an inner surface of the tube body of the attachment (8A), and supplied with power;
a light-outputting end face (44) fixed to the outer surface or the inner surface of the tube body of the attachment (8A) and facing a distal end side of the attachment (8A) to output light from the light source device (41);
a vacuum tip (1) including a tube body having a base end that can be inserted in the distal end of the attachment (8A) and a distal end that is a suction opening (11);
and
a light guiding element (6) that is provided in the vacuum tip (1), has a light-receiving end face arranged to face a base end side of the vacuum tip (1), and can guide light input from the light-receiving end face and project the light, wherein
the light-outputting end face and the light-receiving end face are positioned to allow light to be transmitted from the light-outputting end face to the light-receiving end face in a state in which the vacuum tip (1) is completely connected to the attachment (8A).
