Abstract: An apex locator for measuring a root canal apex, comprising: a first connection adapted for removably electrically connecting the apex locator to a file or reamer held by a motorized handpiece; and a second connection connected to a lip hook.

Abstract: Ergonomic handset for precision manual tools comprising an elongated body and at least one working end comprising a tool-insertion opening at one of said body's ends and a gripping zone near said opening, said gripping zone comprising three finger-rests designed to form a triangular tapered profile. A saddle-like component may be attached to the handset at the middle thereof, to be worn around the ridge connecting the thumb and the forefinger.

Abstract: A foldable armrest unit for a seat having a collapsible seat back, including an armrest one end of which is articulated to first joint device affixed to a lateral surface of the seat back, the armrest unit further including an armrest support member, one end of which is articulated to the armrest and the other end of which is articulated to second joint device affixed to a lateral surface of the seat; the armrest having three limit positions: a first limit position being the position of use, in which the seat back is in an upright position and the armrest is in a substantially horizontal position; a second limit position in which the seat back is still in the upright position, while the armrest is swung towards the seat back to facilitate access to and egress from the seat, and a third limit position in which the armrest is completely folded down, together with the collapsed seat back.

Abstract: The invention provides a foldable armrest unit for a seat having a collapsible seat back, comprising an armrest one end of which is articulated to first joint means affixed to a lateral surface of the seat back, the armrest unit further including an armrest support member, one end of which is articulated to the armrest and the other end of which is articulated to second joint means affixed to a lateral surface of the seat; the armrest having three limit positions: a first limit position being the position of use, in which the seat back is in an upright position and the armrest is in a substantially horizontal position; a second limit position in which the seat back is still in the upright position, while the armrest is swung towards the seat back to facilitate access to and egress from the seat, and a third limit position in which the armrest is completely folded down, together with the collapsed seat back.

Abstract: A device (2) for effecting opening of a sealed bag-like flexible packet (4) and for dispensing its contents. The device (2) includes two interconnected limbs (6, 8), each limb includes an inside (12) and an outside (10) surface, and is of a size at least equal to one dimension of the packet (4), to facilitate placing the packet (4) in between the limbs (6, 8). The device (2) also includes a mechanism (32, 36) located at the end portions of the limbs (6, 8) facilitating piercing or cutting the packet (4) to form an opening (38), allowing the contents to be dispensed upon effecting a sequential squeezing action on the packet (4) starting from a point distant from the opening (38).
