ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, which supports dental handpieces and supplies necessary operating agents to the handpiece, which has a hose containing supply lines extending to a connecting member, includes a housing having a support recess for each handpiece, a coupling member for each support recess to coact with the connecting member of the handpiece to connect agent lines in the housing to the supply line, and a control arrangement which selectively controls the flow of agents to the elements of the coupling member including an evaluation arrangement which receives signals indicating the type of handpiece being connected to the coupling member and selectively connecting the various sources to the elements or the coupling member in response to the indicated handpiece. The coupling and connecting members have cooperating coding pins and sockets for creating a signal to indicate the type of handpiece being connected by the coupling member so that the evaluation arrangement automatically selects the desired agents for a specific type of handpiece when the handpiece is connected to the coupling member. With this arrangement, each of the coupling members can receive the connecting members from a large variety of dental handpieces and thus the user can selectively connect any dental handpiece to a particular position.
