Abstract
A dental equipment stand which includes a mounting component on which there is horizontally linearly displaceable a holder carriage for dental instruments which are removably restrained in individual holders, and is thereby supported so as to be movable sideways out of the mounting equipment. The individual holders can be moved aside in such a manner that a free space is produced below the mounting component whereby the instruments which are arranged within the individual holders no longer stand in the way of the close movement of the front side of the mounting component against the mouth of the patient. After reaching of the displaced end position of the holder carriage which, as before, remains with a portion of its length within the sliding support of the mounting component, the separate carrier which includes the adjacent located individual holders can be displaced with respect to the holder carriage and thus removed so far from the mounting component that the instruments which are located in the individual holders are no longer located ahead of the front side of the mounting component but at the side thereof so that, when desired, either suitable movement of the treatment chair or through suitable movement of the mounting component, there can be optimally reduced the distance between the front side of the mounting component and the mouth of the patient. Thereby, particularly when the mounting component is formed by a dental repository table, for example, a medication or instrument tray, it is advantageous that it is possible to optimally shorten the extent of the movements of the hands of the dentist or the assistant.
