  • Patent number: 9717566
    Abstract: A dental prophylaxis angle having a tool head and a hand piece includes an adjustment mechanism, which allows the tool head to be angularly adjusted between a plurality of angular positions relative to the hand piece. The tool head is axially shiftable relative to the hand piece between a locked position and an adjustment position. In the locked position, the tool head is prevented from shifting angularly relative to the hand piece. In the adjustment position, the tool head may be selectively pivoted relative to the hand piece and thereby angularly adjusted. A spring may be provided to urge the tool head into the locked position at one or more of the angular positions.

  • Patent number: 9259292
    Abstract: An adjustable dental prophylaxis angle includes an adjuster operatively coupled to a hand piece and a tool head such that the adjuster can rotate axially relative to the hand piece and to the tool head. The angle of the tool head relative to the hand piece may be adjusted by rotating the adjuster.

  • Patent number: 8770633
    Abstract: The latch actuating mechanism uses both an electric motor and a cylinder lock as alternative means for selectively locking a handle to a cam that in turn can operate a latch mechanism in order to allow the handle to be used to open the latch mechanism. A biasing means urges the handle to the closed position.
