Dental handpiece lubrication purging apparatus

A dental handpiece lubrication purging apparatus, for use in dental offices in order to meet regulations regarding health and safety requirements, comprising:

• a housing;
• said housing comprising a structure having a top surface, a base surface and a perimeter surface;
• at least one coupling means positioned on the exterior surface of said housing for permitting quick attachment and release of dental handpieces;
• said coupling means having a plurality of port means;
• said port means comprising orifice means for the passage of gaseous elements, fluids and fiber optics;
• said coupling mean further having threading means for the attachment or removal of many types of handpieces and quick release disconnects;
• a tubing network connected to said couplings to allow the passage of air and gas throughout the network;
• said tubing network comprising a plurality of flexible tubes that direct the flow of air and gas to said ports as necessary;
• measuring means for determining the pressure of the air and gas positioned on said exterior surface;
• said measuring means comprising an air and gas pressure gauge;
• said tubing network having valve means for directing the flow of the air and gas;
• regulation means for controlling the flow of air and gas to said couplings;
• said regulation means comprising a regulator that allows the user to accurately control the flow of air and gas;
• switch means;
• said switch means comprising a two way, on and off, flow system;
• said switch means further comprising a timing mechanism for controlling the amount of time that the handpieces are purged;
• means for filtering the excess materials from said dental handpieces positioned within said housing;
• said filtering means having clip means attached to said base of said housing to retain said filtering means in position within said housing;
• said filtering means further having exhaust means for permitting clean purged air to exit from said apparatus;
• said housing means further comprising means for supporting said couplings said measuring means and said switch means;
• cover means to be positioned over said dental handpiece to keep any spray from the atmosphere;
• and
• said cover means comprising an absorbant filter sleeve that allows said dental handpiece to be inserted within said sleeve to minimize blowback when the handpiece is lubricated or purged.
