TRAVERSE DENTAL CHAIR AND A SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR MONITORING POSITIONS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009055 titled 'TRAVERSE DENTAL CHAIR AND A SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR MONITORING POSITIONS THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a dental chair with a traverse motion assembly that moves the chair assembly in a forward-backward direction. The dental chair also includes a sensor assembly with a rod fixed to the traverse motion assembly, which obtains data indicative of the linear movement of the chair assembly along the forward-backward direction.

  • The dental chair is designed to support a patient during dental procedures.
  • The chair assembly can be moved in a forward-backward direction by the traverse motion assembly.
  • The sensor assembly includes a rod that is rotatably fixed to the traverse motion assembly.
  • The rod has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a specific cross-sectional shape.
  • The sensor assembly is configured to collect data that indicates the distance of linear movement of the chair assembly along the forward-backward direction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Dental clinics and offices can utilize this dental chair to provide comfortable and adjustable seating for patients during dental procedures.
  • The linear movement feature allows for easy positioning of the patient, enhancing accessibility for the dentist or dental staff.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The dental chair's traverse motion assembly solves the problem of limited adjustability and maneuverability, providing flexibility in positioning the patient.
  • The sensor assembly solves the problem of accurately measuring the linear movement of the chair assembly, ensuring precise positioning and data collection.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved patient comfort and support during dental procedures.
  • Enhanced accessibility for dentists and dental staff, leading to more efficient and effective treatments.
  • Accurate data collection for monitoring and analyzing patient movements and chair adjustments.
