Title: Water valve for dental handpiece
Inventor: LACHAPELLE CLAUDE
IPC: A61C1/00
Filed: 1999-08-11
Granted: 2001-06-12
Abstract: The water valve links a dental handpiece to its tubing. The tubing conventionally has a high-pressure air tube in which air will flow when the handpiece is selectively activated, a cooling water tube for cooling the handpiece head and the patient's tooth during use of the handpiece head, a cooling air tube for converting the cooling water flow into an atomized water spray, and a discharge tube, in which part of the high-pressure air flow are carried away from the dental handpiece. The water circulation device includes a valve which has four inner conduits each operatively linking the respective tubes to the dental handpiece. Furthermore, a bypass channel is formed in the valve, between the valve member water conduit and discharge conduit. A piston is movable in the bypass channel, between a first unobstructive position in which the water is free to flow from the water conduit into the discharge conduit, and a second obstructive position in which the piston blocks in a fluid-tight fashion the bypass channel, to prevent the water from flowing into the discharge conduit. A spring continuously forces the piston towards its first unobstructive position. Thus, in the handpiece inoperative condition, when no high-pressure air flow runs through the high-pressure air conduit, the water is free to flow in the valve from the water conduit into the discharge channel, thus not reaching the handpiece and continuously flowing to prevent the water from stagnating. When the handpiece is activated, the high-pressure air flow forces the piston through an air channel communicating with the piston channel, against the action of the spring towards its second limit position, thus blocking the bypass channel and allowing the water to flow conventionally into the handpiece.

Abstract: A single-piece piston used in a pneumatically-activated pump or other metering device for metering predetermined amounts of liquids. The piston is disposed within a metering device body chamber. The piston includes a head portion and a cicumferentially-disposed channel for containing a sealing member. An adjacent stem section includes means for providing a fluid-flow connection with the angled channel. Lateral movement of the piston causes the sealing member to shift and block and unblock the fluid-flow connection means, allowing liquid to flow out the head of the piston's grooved end and to an adjacent pump chamber.      The piston operates in association with an assembly for regulating the amount of liquid metered by the lubricator, a valve assembly for evacuating the liquid from the pump chamber into an outlet fitting, and a mechanism for regulating the flow of air into the outlet fitting to atomize the liquid. The piston operation can be calibrated for precise liquid metering.
