Instrument hose support device and dental treatment apparatus including the same
An instrument hose support device includes a rod that supports an instrument hose at a position higher than an instrument that is held by a holder, a pulley support portion that is supported by a distal end of the rod, a pulley that is supported by the pulley support portion and over which the instrument hose is looped. The distal end has a groove in which a taper is formed. A first member of the pulley support portion has a shaft protrusion, and a gap is formed between the shaft protrusion and the groove. The gap serves as the range of motion of the pulley support portion, and the pulley support portion follows the movement of the instrument hose and, relative to the rod, swings freely toward the front and the back and toward the sides and rotates freely with a movable axis (X) as an axis.

Shelf for dental delivery system
A shelf for a dental delivery system comprises a shelf member and device mounting locations on the shelf member. The shelf member is shaped to fit within a dental delivery system housing. The shelf member is movable between at least a closed position and an open position. The device mounting locations define locations devices can be coupled. According to another implementation, a dental delivery system comprising a housing defining an interior, at least one connection extending from the housing to a dental handpiece holding area, a removable cover and a shelf member movable between at least open and closed positions is described.
Dental Care Unit, Control of the Dental Care Unit and Dental Care Room
The invention relates to structures of a dental care unit used in dental care work. In the invention, a frame part of the dental care unit comprises a means to attach a vertically extending support part, and a cover structure (22) of the frame part comprises at least a first and a second cover part (22′, 22″). The support part extends vertically essentially from an area of a seam locus (23) between the cover parts, whereto is arranged a seam element (24). The seam element (24) is preferably arranged to emit light as controlled by a control system of the dental care unit. A dental care unit like this is specifically applicable for use in a dental care room or premises comprising several dental care units.
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING DISINFECTION FLUID PUMPING AND PATHWAY
A peritoneal dialysis system includes a housing; a dialysis fluid pump housed by the housing; a patient line extendable from the housing; and a hose reel located within the housing, the hose reel configured to coil the patient line when disconnected from a patient. The patient line may be a dual lumen patient line, wherein the dual lumen patient line is coiled about the hose reel during a disinfection sequence for disinfecting the dual lumen patient line and the dialysis fluid pump.
MOVING DEVICE FOR ROD PART SUPPORTING INSTRUMENT HOSE AND DENTAL EXAMINATION-AND-TREATMENT APPARATUS INCLUDING MOVING DEVICE FOR ROD PART SUPPORTING INSTRUMENT HOSE
A moving unit includes a housing, a rotary unit to which a rod part is attached, a spring that generates a torque when the rod part is tilted down or tilted up about a rotation axis on the side on which a base portion of the rod part is located, and a torque adjustment unit that is capable of adjusting a torque by deforming the spring. The torque adjustment unit includes a spring deforming portion that deforms the spring in a direction in which the spring is wound up and a spring fixing portion that keeps a torque constant by coming into contact with the spring deforming portion and fixing the spring deforming portion in place.
