Patent number: 12285308Abstract: Dental matrix band devices including a housing with a band, a tensioning mechanism for the band with the control for the tensioning mechanism controllable by a control knob external to the housing, and at least one deflector pushbutton. The deflector pushbutton(s) applies pressure on an upper or lower portion of the band causing the geometry of the band to change. The resulting band geometry forms a conical loop better matching the configuration of a tooth. In one embodiment two deflector pushbuttons are provided and positioned to apply pressure on the upper or lower portion of the band depending on which deflector pushbutton is depressed in the housing. In another embodiment a single deflector pushbutton unit is provided with a pushbutton at each end.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Medicom Group Inc.Inventors: Brian Lo, Richard Paré, Gabrielle Poirier, Benoit Orban, Jason Randall Ludvig, Shawn Jordan Fried, Nektaria Markoglou

Patent number: 11737614Abstract: A web material dispenser includes a housing and a pivotable roll support assembly provided therein. A first mandrel is provided at a first attachment location of the roll support assembly to support a first roll of web material. A second mandrel is provided at a second location of the roll support assembly to support a second roll of web material. The web material dispenser permits one-handed operation to replace the rolls of web material and to change positions of the mandrels within the dispenser. The roll support assembly may have a linkage arm and/or a roll support arm. Positions of the first and second mandrels relative to the dispenser's opening can be switched by pivoting the linkage arm relative to the housing and by pivoting the roll support arm relative to the linkage arm. A method for switching positions of rolls in the web material dispenser is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: CASCADES CANADA ULCInventors: Patrick Mainville, Mélody Sue Myette, Benoit Orban
