Abstract

There is disclosed a light guide unit including a bunch of glass fibers capable of transmitting light from a light source to a desired site, a sheath of a thermocontracting resin contracted to cover the bunch of glass fibers for substantially its overall length, and a filler of a hardening resin hardened to fill spaces between the glass fibers within the sheath. Also disclosed are a method for producing the light guide unit, and a dental handpiece having the light guide unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light guide unit suitable for installation in an instrument, such as a dental handpiece, for delivering light from a light source to a desired location, and to a light guide unit for the manufacture of such a light guide Unit method and a dental hand instrument in which the light guide unit is installed. Background technique [0002] In many medical or industrial instruments, there is an illumination system for illuminating a desired position, which includes a light source and a light guide unit installed in an instrument for transmitting light from the light source to a desired position. Location. [0003] For example, in a typical dental hand instrument with a coupler, a light source, such as a halogen lamp, is disposed within the coupler, and a light guide unit is accommodated in a passage through the hand instrument for the Light is delivered from the light source to the head or neck of the manual instrument.
