Abstract: The actuator incorporates a foot subassembly for selectively controlling either any movement of the chair or a use of a handpiece, comprises a main board subassembly for a) controlling the movements and positions of the chair and for supplying power to a foot subassembly for selectively controlling; and/or b) converting for further transmitting a linear voltage existing in the foot subassembly for selectively controlling, from analog to digital values; a control subassembly for a) activating the handpiece; b) controlling, via a touchpad, the movements and other functional features of the chair; and c) monitoring for displaying all activities of the chair; air valve subassembly for regulating a quantity of air that passes through it and, hence, a pressure supplied to the handpiece via a solenoid valve; and a display unit for viewing the status and activities of the chair.

Abstract: A control assembly for a dental apparatus wherein delivery of operating air, coolant air and coolant water to the dental hand piece is controlled through the operation of normally spring closed pilot valves which are operated to the open position by application of pilot air, delivery of which from the source of pressurized air is controlled by a foot operated valve so as to ensure delivery of coolant air or coolant water when needed when operating air is being delivered to the hand piece.
