  • Patent number: 7153133
    Abstract: A disposable prophy angle for an electric tooth polisher, having a handle and a polishing head, has a body and a transmission assembly. The body is mounted to the handle and has a cavity and a bent distal segment. The transmission assembly is mounted in the cavity and has a rotatable driving shaft, a rotatable head mount and multiple linkage shafts. The driving shaft has multiple mounting holes. The head mount is connected to the polishing head and has multiple mounting holes. Each linkage shaft has two segments rotatably and slidably extending into a corresponding mounting hole in the driving shaft and a corresponding hole in the head mount, respectively. The linkage shafts are simple and small so the corresponding bent distal segment of the body holding the linkage shafts is also small. Therefore, the disposable prophy angle can be easily inserted into and moved around in a person's mouth.

  • Patent number: 7104796
    Abstract: A disposable prophy angle is mounted to an electric tooth polisher that has a controller, a handle having a motor and a driving shaft. The prophy angle is mounted to the handle and has a casing, a driven shaft, a surface-polishing member and a crevice-cleaning member. The casing is mounted to the handle and has a cavity and a distal open end. The driven shaft is mounted rotatably in the casing, rotates in response to the motor and has a mount. The surface-polishing and crevice-cleaning members are detachably mounted on the mount simultaneously. The tooth polisher with both the surface-polishing and crevice-cleaning members can be used to clean teeth without the need to replace the members and is timesaving.
