Abstract
An equipment stand, in particular for dental implements, which consists of a carrier possessing holders for the dental implements or instruments. A stand which extends in a vertical direction, concurrently forms the carrier possessing the implement holders, so as to thereby eliminate a separate component as a carrier in the form of a cross-bar, and consequently avoids a complex construction. Furthermore, through a superimposed arrangement of the implement holders there is afforded a good overview of the implements which are located in the holders.
Claims34
In an equipment stand located above a table top of a work table, particularly for dental implements;
- including support means mounting holders for the implements arranged on said support means for receiving said implements during the nonuse thereof, the improvement comprising in that said support means mounting said implement holders is a vertically extending column comprising a hollow cylindrical support stand which is mounted to said table top to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis but to be otherwise fixedly mounted thereto, said implement holders being superimposed vertically above each other on said hollow cylindrical support stand by individual bearing rings supported thereon such that each implement holder is individually rotatable about said hollow cylindrical support stand which is mounted to said table top, and wherein at least one of the implement holders arranged at the upper end of said column support means comprises a cantilever retainer element for an illuminating member arranged at the free end of the cantilever retainer element, said illuminating member being pivotable about an axis of the retainer element extending transverse to the longitudinal extent of the retainer element to define different pivoted latching positions and being fixed through a latching means in the different pivoted latching positions, said latching means having a movable latching member engaging cooperating latching portions of the retainer element to define the different pivoted latching positions.
Equipment stand as claimed in claim 3, wherein said implement holders are each individually pivotable about the axis of the columnar support means.
