| 20110122598 | LED ILLUMINATOR WITH IMPROVED BEAM QUALITY - An improved illuminator with an adjustable beam pattern to be worn by medical and dental professionals includes a housing, a light-emitting diode (LED) disposed in the housing outputting light through a distal opening in the housing, an achromatic doublet lens mounted in the opening in the housing, and a singlet lens disposed between the LED and the achromatic lens. The distance between the singlet lens and the doublet lens may be adjustable, and/or distance between the LED and the singlet lens may be adjustable, through a threaded connections, for example. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110026258 | MEDICAL/DENTAL HEADLIGHT SYSTEM WITH INTERCHANGEABLE BEAM-FORMING OPTICS - A head-mounted light source particularly suited to medical and dental applications includes a base unit with a source of illumination directed through a distal opening in the base unit, and a plurality of interchangeable beam-forming units, each separately attachable to the distal opening of the base unit to produce a different light spot size at a given distance. The preferred embodiment includes a wide-field beam-forming unit, an intermediate beam-forming unit and a high-intensity beam-forming unit, such that the diameter of the spot size progressively decreases from the wide-field to the intermediate to the high-intensity unit. The interchangeable beam-forming units are attached to the base unit through a threaded connection. Each interchangeable beam-forming unit may itself include a distal threaded connection for attachment of a UV or other filter. In the preferred embodiment, the base unit includes a clip adapted for attachment to an ocular mounting assembly. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110013277 | LOW PROFILE OPTICAL MOUNTING ASSEMBLY - In an ocular support assembly material present in the forward-looking cross-section of the outwardly extending support arms is removed, thereby reducing visual obscuration and enhancing peripheral vision. In the preferred embodiment, the top of each outwardly extending support arm is at or below the middle of the height of the housing, thereby resulting in a low-profile design. At the same time, the support arms are received by the housing with sliding engagement on all sides, thereby eliminating the need for ball bearings or spacers to counteract twisting. The result is a lightweight yet highly stable ocular mounting assembly. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20100290115 | THROUGH-THE-LENS LOUPE ASSEMBLY WITH INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT - A medical/dental loupe assembly provides through-the-lens oculars with an inconspicuous interpupillary distance adjustment capability. The system includes a pair of lenses, each lens having a telemicroscopic ocular cemented therethrough, and an upper portion, one on each side of a wearer's nose. A generally horizontal slot is formed in the upper portion of one of the lenses, and a bridge member connects the upper portions of the two lenses. The bridge member has two ends, one end of which is coupled to the slot through a fastener that may be loosened and tightened, thereby allowing the distance between the oculars to be adjusted and locked into position in accordance with the interpupillary requirements of a user. | 11-18-2010 |
