Abstract: The invention concerns a console specifically designed for the suction tubes of suction units used in dentistry.The console basically comprises a box-like shell which is furnished with a collector, maintained in a state of vacuum and connected to the suction tubes, inside of which is a filter drawer through which pass all the fluids sucked in by the tubes. There is a compartment located in the top of the box-like shell, its top open, which contains the pneumatic and electrical command devices necessary to the console's functioning.The console further comprises a cover in which are located the forked housings for the tubes, which can be attached directly to the top of the box-like shell or which can be connected to the box-like shell by means of articulating arms which allow adjustment of the position of the cover and, consequently, the tubes' housings, with respect to the box-like shell, which will normally be fixed to the dentist's main assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a liquid separating and evacuating device for fluid suction equipment and, in particular, for dental surgery equipment, with which it is possible to separate the air from the liquids and to continuously drain the latter without interrupting the suction.The said device consists essentially of a cylindrical container, placed on a vertical axis, that is provided on the bottom part thereof with a draining valve. Placed inside the said container there is a horizontal partition that is divided into two superposed chambers. This partition has a valve which either allows or prevents the liquid from passing from the first chamber to the second chamber.A float contained in the first chamber controls, by actuating a pneumatic distributor, the opening and the closing of the aforementioned valves which successively allow the liquid to pass from the first chamber to the second chamber and from the latter to the outside.
