| Accompanying documentation would indicate
that this model was probably a home-made prototype of
a grinding machine planned to be patented. The idea, but
certainly not the mechanism, was inspired by the House
Articulator. For example, the maxillary denture produces
the grinding motion while the mandibular denture is stationary.
The two-speed motor is activated by pulling the white
knob located on the right end of the front plate. The
grinding pattern on the denture teeth is elliptical and
is produced by reciprocal or “seesaw” action of the
controls in the “condylar” positions. |
