ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a face bow serving to transfer jaw models to an articulator in correct relationship to the skull. It consists essentially of two L-shaped side arms which are connected by pivot bearings to a base plate at two oppositely located peripheral pivot points for scissors-like movement, and which can be locked in the overlapping region of the ends of the transverse portions of the L-shaped side arms. The pivot bearings (12,13) are disposed in the respective L-bends (14,15) of the L-shaped side arms (2,3). In the middle between the pivot bearings (12,13), the base plate (16) has a slot (23) whose longitudinal edges (24,25) extend parallel to the longitudinal axis (26) of the face bow (1) and through which projects the locking means (11), passing rotatably but non-slidably through the free ends (8,9) of the transverse portions (5,7) in the overlapping region.
