Curing light device
First Claim
1. A curing light device for curing a compound, the curing light device comprising:
- a housing;
a tip structure configured to be removably coupled with the housing, the tip structure having a proximal end and a distal end;
at least one light emitting device operable for emitting light in a wavelength range suitable for curing a light curable compound, the at least one light emitting device positioned at the distal end of the tip structure;
electrical components positioned at the proximal end of the tip structure and coupled with the at least one light emitting device, the electrical components configured for engaging complementary electrical components positioned in the housing for providing power to the at least one light emitting device;
a portion of the tip structure extending beyond the proximal end of the tip structure, the tip structure portion configured to be received by a feature in the housing for physically aligning the tip structure in the housing and for aligning the complementary electrical components in the tip structure and housing to transfer power from the housing to the tip structure;
a power supply circuit positioned in the housing and operably coupled with the electrical components positioned in the housing, the power supply circuit being rechargeable and including at least one ultracapacitor element for being charged.

Abstract
A curing light device for curing a compound includes a housing and a tip structure configured to be removably coupled with the housing. A light emitting device operable for emitting light in a wavelength range suitable for curing a light curable compound is positioned at the distal end of the tip structure. Electrical components are positioned at the proximal end of the tip structure and coupled with the at least one light emitting device and are configured for engaging complementary electrical components positioned in the housing for providing power to the light emitting device. A portion of the tip structure extends beyond the proximal end of the tip structure and is configured to be received by a feature in the housing for physically aligning the tip structure in the housing and for aligning the electrical components. A power supply circuit is rechargeable and includes an ultracapacitor element.
