The invention relates to a holder for a dental hand piece carrying a rotatable burr in which any one of a plurality of hand pieces, each of which has a different contra-angle, relative to the axis of the burr, can be accommodated to the same holder and coupled to the free end of a pantograph for maintaining the axis of the burr normal to the occludal plane of the teeth.
Claims2
A device for supporting any one of a plurality of dental hand pieces at the free end of a movable linkage, each dental hand piece having a different contra-angle relative to the rotational axis of its respective burr, and for maintaining the axis of the burr normal to the plane of occlusion of the teeth, comprising in combination:
- a holder for carrying any one of the dental hand pieces;
- a parallelogram linkage having a free end and the other end releasably supported for movement about a vertical axis and extendable in a vertical plane passing through the vertical axis;
- pivotal means detachably secured to the free end of the linkage for movement therewith to maintain constant the orientation of the axis of the burr relative to the plane of occlusion;
- and
- means arranged intermediate the pivotal means and the holder for coupling the holder to the pivotal means including a member releasably connected at opposite ends thereof to the pivotal means and the holder, respectively, whereby the holder is selectably releasable from the pivotal means and the member.
