Patentanmeldung Heraeus Kulzer GmbH Zahnleistendeckel als Einzelverpackung für ZahnleistenPatent application Heraeus Kulzer GmbH Tooth cover as a single packaging for toothed racks
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für künstliche Zähne mit einer Zahnleiste, die eine Zahnaufnahme aufweist, an der künstliche Zähne angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a package for artificial teeth with a rack, which has a tooth holder, are arranged on the artificial teeth.
Künstliche Zähne für Zahnprothesen werden zur Bestückung der individuell angefertigten Prothesen in kompletten Sätzen angeboten. Gewöhnlich sind sie lösbar auf Leisten aufgesteckt. Diese Anordnung von Leiste und Zähnen wird im folgenden als Zahnleiste bezeichnet. Normalerweise werden solche Zahnleisten von den Herstellern lose, z.B. in Schubladen von etwa Schuhkartongröße geliefert. Der Großhandel ist zur Haltung von platzraubenden Schränken gezwungen, in denen diese Schubladen untergebracht werden. Beim Versand zu den einzelnen Zahnlabors kommt es dann immer wieder zur Ablösung einzelner Zähne aus den Leisten, was zu Such- und Zuordnungsaufwand oder Verlusten führt.Artificial teeth for dental prostheses are offered for equipping the custom-made prostheses in complete sets. Usually they are releasably attached to slats. This arrangement of bar and teeth is referred to as a rack. Normally, such toothed racks are loosened by manufacturers, e.g. delivered in drawers of about shoebox size. The wholesaler is forced to maintain space-consuming cabinets in which these drawers are housed. When shipping to the individual dental laboratories, it then comes time and again to replace individual teeth from the bars, which leads to search and assignment effort or losses.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu gründe, die bekannten Zahnleisten zu verbessern.The invention is based on the task of improving the known toothed racks.
Es wurde nun gefunden, dass man die genannten Probleme in einfacher Weise löst, indem an der Zahnleiste ein Deckel angeordnet ist, der mit der Zahnleiste einen Hohlraum zur Aufnahme der Zähne umschließt. Man versieht also jede Zahnleiste separat mit einem lösbaren Deckel, dass dieser zusammen mit der Zahnleiste eine schließbare Verpackung bildet. Ablösungen beim Versand verursachen keine Verluste, die entstehenden Schachteln sind nach Gutdünken stapelbar und vor Staub geschützt, und die Lagerverwaltung erkennt leichter, wie viele Einheiten nachzubestellen sind.It has now been found that solves the above problems in a simple manner by a lid is disposed on the rack, which encloses a cavity for receiving the teeth with the rack. Thus, each toothed strip is provided separately with a detachable lid so that it forms a closable package together with the toothed strip. Dispatched shipping does not cause any loss, the resulting boxes are stackable at will and protected from dust, and warehouse management can easily see how many units to reorder.
Vorzugsweise ist die Vorrichtung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Hohlraum so bemessen ist, dass ein Ablösen der Zähne von der Zahnleiste bei geschlossenem Deckel nicht möglich ist. Des weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, dass der geschlossene Deckel mindestens einen Zahn jeweils an mindestens einem Punkt berührt, wobei dieser Punkt vorzugsweise der Zahnaufnahme senkrecht gegenüber liegend angeordnet ist. Zweckmäßig ist es auch, dass der Deckel mindestens einen Vorsprung an seiner Innenseite aufweist, wobei der Vorsprung mindestens einen Zahn berührt. Insbesondere können die Vorsprünge als eine oder mehrere Stufen ausgebildet sein.Preferably, the device is characterized in that the cavity is dimensioned so that a detachment of the teeth from the rack with the lid closed is not possible. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the closed lid touches at least one tooth in each case at at least one point, this point preferably being arranged perpendicular to the tooth receptacle. It is also expedient that the cover has at least one projection on its inner side, wherein the projection touches at least one tooth. In particular, the projections may be formed as one or more stages.
Es empfiehlt sich, den Deckel aus transparentem Material herzustellen, damit der Anwender bereits von außen erkennt, welche Zahnfarbe er ausgewählt hat.It is recommended that the lid is made of transparent material so that the user can already see from the outside which tooth shade he has selected.
Die Erfindung wird in einem Ausführungsbeispiel erläutert.The invention will be explained in one embodiment.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schematische Darstellung einer Ausführungsform Erfindung.Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention.
Die Zähne 1 sind auf einer Zahnaufnahme 2 aus Wachs in einer Reihe aufgeklebt. Die Zahnaufnahme ist in einer Ausnehmung der Zahnleiste 3 angeordnet Zweckmäßig ist es, dass der Deckel 4 so dicht anliegt, dass die Anordnung der Zähne 1 auch bei deren Lockerung erhalten bleibt. Dazu wird vorteilhafterweise die Form des des Deckels 4 an die an die Topographie der mit Zähnen 1 bestückten Zahnleiste 3 angepasst. In der Figur ist erkennbar, dass eine Stufenbzw. Treppenform mit geraden und schrägen Stufen 5 entstanden ist, welche die Konturen der bestückten Zahnleiste 3 nachvollzieht. Diese Struktur führt dazu, dass der Deckel 4 so dicht anliegt, dass der jeweilige Zahn 1 bei Lockerung seine Anordnung relativ zu den anderen Zähnen 1 beibehält. Der Deckel 4 ragt in der Figur wegen der besseren Übersicht nach rechts über den Rand der Zahnleiste hinaus. The teeth 1 are glued on a tooth receptacle 2 made of wax in a row. The tooth receptacle is arranged in a recess of the toothed bar 3. It is expedient that the cover 4 rests so tightly that the arrangement of the teeth 1 is maintained even when it is loosened. For this purpose, the shape of the lid 4 is advantageously adapted to the topography of the toothed rack 3 equipped with teeth 1. In the figure it can be seen that a Stufenbzw. Stair shape with straight and sloping steps 5 has emerged, which traces the contours of the assembled rack 3. This structure causes the lid 4 so tight that the respective tooth 1 maintains its arrangement relative to the other teeth 1 when loosening. The lid 4 protrudes in the figure because of the better overview to the right beyond the edge of the rack.
