Inventor: AZZARETTO MICHAEL
IPC: A61C9/00
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a dentition model from a supporting plate comprising retaining pins which, during separation, exerts a uniform pressure directly on the points of greatest adhesion, namely directly on points where the retaining pins plug-in in a detachable or non-detachable manner, in order to prevent the dentition model from canting or even breaking. To this end, a supporting plate is provided that comprises openings, in which a fitting piece is inserted that projects from the bottom side, or a supporting plate is provided that comprises an additional separation plate which, from the bottom side of the supporting plate, uniformly separates the retaining pins projecting from the bottom side of the supporting plate.

1.2 kg/5 cm while permitting resistance to opening on the
content side to hold an enough strength of from about 7 kg/5
cm to about 8 kg/5 cm, permits the resistance to opening on
both opening and content sides to remain within a specified
range of resistance to opening even after opening/closing
operations have been executed 100 times or more and, further,
has solved a deficiency of the conventional zipper that a resin
become brittle by a low temperature causes a problem in the
engagement, or the engagement function becomes inoperable
after several times of opening/closing operations at an
