Abstract
A spatula is formed as a combination implement. Several mixing implements which are suitable for substances of varying consistency are placed on one and the same handle unit. There is preferably a knife-blade-type mixing implement at one end of the handle and a pronged, fork-type mixing implement at the other end.
Claims6
Spatula for mixing plastic substances such as for dental purposes or the like, comprising:
- an elongated knife-blade portion symmetrical about its longitudinal axis and strengthened along its entire longitudinal length such that the cross-section forms a flat lozenge which becomes flatter and narrower towards one end thereof;
- an elongated handle unit connected at one end to the other end of the knike blade portion wherein the handle unit is substantially flat and has a given width;
- and an implement having fork-like spikes which lie adjacent to each other and disposed at the other end of the handle unit and having substantially the same width, wherein the implement has an essentially shorter section in the longitudinal direction than the knife-blade portion, so that the handle unit is displaced from the linear center of the spatula toward the implement;
- wherein the knife blade portion and the implement are disposed on either side of the handle unit to define a substantially flat elongated spatula.
