DENTAL INSTRUMENT HOLDER AND EXPANSION PLATFORM
An attachment apparatus is provided allowing a tool of a non-standard size to be incorporated into an existing system, such as a dental system, with standard-sized tools. In one implementation, the attachment apparatus includes a holder, adapter body and clamp to secure a scanner or other tool to an arm of the system. The apparatus may cover one tool slot of the arm while other tool slots remain available for standard-sized tools. In another implementation, the attachment apparatus can be attached to a console that may hold standard-sized tools. The attachment apparatus includes a channel for a cord of an additional tool to securely hold the cord and route it to electronic components within the console. The cord may carry power to and data to/from the tool.
