Abstract: A dental air/water syringe purge hold-down device having a hold-down portion, a bracing portion and one or more connecting portions. The hold-down portion holds down one or more buttons on a dental syringe. The bracing portion stably holds the hold-down portion against the buttons on the syringe and the side members serve to connect the hold-down portion and the bracing portion and enhance the hold-down activity of the hold-down portion.
Abstract: A shaped charge assembly includes at least one shaped charge having an outer case. The case has a forward end and a rearward end, and has a flange defined thereon. A retaining clip is operably associated with the flange and spans the rearward end of the case for retaining a detonating cord. In an alternative embodiment, the retaining clip also serves to hold the shaped charge in place within a shaped charge carrier.
