Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental orthodontic treatment auxiliary instruments, specifically to a detachable orthodontic auxiliary arch tube device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the most commonly used fixed orthodontic appliances in clinical orthodontics include brackets and buccal tubes for posterior teeth. Both are single-groove designs, using ligation or self-ligating methods to install the main archwire within the groove. Force is applied through the main archwire to move the teeth and achieve orthodontic correction. However, orthodontics is a complex process. In some treatments, applying force solely with the main archwire is insufficient, requiring the use of auxiliary archwires to assist in completing the correction, accelerate treatment efficiency, or reduce patient discomfort. For example, in the alignment of teeth in complex crowded cases, horizontal auxiliary archwires parallel to the direction of the main archwire can assist in aligning severely misaligned teeth, accelerating alignment without affecting adjacent teeth. Similarly, when elastic band traction is needed, vertical auxiliary archwires perpendicular to the direction of the main archwire can act as traction hooks, or the point of force application can be changed to alter the tooth movement pattern and direction.

[0003] Traditional methods for installing auxiliary archwires involve removing the existing fixed orthodontic appliance and re-bonding an appliance with an auxiliary archwire tube to secure the archwire; or, without removing the existing fixed appliance, fixing the auxiliary archwire to the main archwire via ligation; or using adhesive material to bond the auxiliary archwire to the tooth surface. To improve the installation efficiency and connection stability of auxiliary archwires, patent CN116650157A discloses a multi-purpose, detachable orthodontic auxiliary archwire tube device. This device can be installed by clamping the main archwire through a groove on a fixing block, then placing the main archwire into a single groove in the bracket, and finally passing the auxiliary archwire through the auxiliary archwire tube connected to the fixing block, thus achieving quick and flexible installation of the auxiliary archwire.

[0004] However, the existing auxiliary archwire device, which needs to be clamped onto the main archwire, inevitably applies force to the dentition in segments or in whole sections, making it difficult to avoid teeth that do not require additional archwire or force, thus causing unwanted tooth movement and side effects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable orthodontic auxiliary arch tube device. This device is installed on the required tooth position and applies force only to the tooth position it is in, without causing unwanted tooth movement, thus effectively improving the efficiency and effect of orthodontic treatment.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A detachable orthodontic auxiliary arch tube device includes a main body, on which an installation port for inserting a fixed orthodontic appliance is provided. The installation port extends through the front and bottom surfaces of the main body. A mounting tube is also connected to the side wall of the main body, and a detachable auxiliary arch tube is connected to the mounting tube.

[0008] In this technical solution, the auxiliary arch tube device includes a main body, the bottom surface of which can be bonded to the tooth surface with an adhesive. The main body has an installation opening, which is a hole on the front side of the main body that penetrates both the front and bottom surfaces. The bottom surface of the main body refers to the side used to bond the main body to the tooth surface during use, while the front surface is the side opposite the bottom surface, facing the buccal side of the orthodontic patient.

[0009] In this technical solution, a mounting tube is connected to the sidewalls of the front and bottom surfaces of the main body. The auxiliary archwire is detachably fixed inside the mounting tube by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, which facilitates the placement of the auxiliary archwire and archwire at specific tooth positions based on the orthodontic progress. When the archwire is inserted into the auxiliary archwire, since the entire auxiliary archwire device is located at a specific tooth position, the archwire only applies force to the tooth position it is in. Compared with the existing method of applying force to the entire main archwire, this avoids applying force to segments or the entire dentition, thereby effectively improving orthodontic efficiency and results.

[0010] In this technical solution, the mounting tube can be directly or indirectly connected to the sidewall. In one or more embodiments, the mounting tube is fixedly connected to the sidewall, meaning the mounting tube cannot move relative to the sidewall. In some preferred embodiments, by providing a groove and a slider within the sidewall and connecting the mounting tube to the slider, the position of the mounting tube relative to the main body and the fixed orthodontic appliance can be changed, making the adjustment of the auxiliary archwire and auxiliary bowwire more flexible during the orthodontic process.

[0011] In this technical solution, by placing the mounting tube on the side wall of the main body, the auxiliary archwire can be better utilized to guide the auxiliary archwire, and more operating space is left on the front of the main body. In addition, compared with placing it on the front of the main body, placing the mounting tube on the side wall can also prevent the auxiliary archwire from being too close to the oral cavity wall, effectively protecting the oral cavity wall.

[0012] Before orthodontic treatment, either the main appliance or the fixed appliance can be installed first, ensuring that the final fixed appliance is located within the mounting opening of the main appliance. During orthodontic treatment, when the auxiliary archwire needs to be installed, the main archwire can be removed from the fixed appliance, the main appliance can be bonded to the tooth surface, the fixed appliance can be placed within its mounting opening, the auxiliary archwire can then be fixed to the mounting tube, and the auxiliary archwire can be passed through the auxiliary archwire.

[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary bow tube and the mounting tube are connected by threads. Specifically, the outer wall of the auxiliary bow tube is provided with a connecting section, and the connecting section is provided with a first thread, the outer diameter of the first thread being less than or equal to the outer diameter of the non-connecting section on the auxiliary bow tube; the inner wall of the mounting tube is provided with a second thread that matches the first thread.

[0014] In this technical solution, the outer diameter of the connecting section on the outer wall of the auxiliary bow tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the non-connecting section area on the outer wall. A first thread on the connecting section is used to connect with a second thread on the inner wall of the mounting tube, thus fixing the auxiliary bow tube to the mounting tube. During installation or disassembly, the auxiliary bow tube can be installed or removed simply by screwing it into or out of the mounting tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary bow tube is threaded with a mounting ring, and the mounting ring is provided with a base, which is used to install auxiliary components.

[0016] In this technical solution, to further enrich the application methods of the auxiliary arch tube device in orthodontic treatment, a mounting ring is also fixedly connected to the auxiliary arch tube by threads, and a base is set on the mounting ring. In use, the auxiliary arch tube can be fixed to the mounting tube first, then the mounting ring can be rotated to adjust the base to a suitable orientation. Afterwards, the auxiliary component can be installed on the base. This allows the auxiliary component to be mounted on the auxiliary arch tube device to complete certain operations during the orthodontic process, reducing the use of ligature wires and ligature rings, and effectively reducing chairside operation time.

[0017] In some preferred embodiments, the auxiliary component is a free-floating traction hook, which connects to a rubber band to apply force to other tooth positions. In one or more embodiments, the free-floating traction hook can be a ball protector, a V-shaped bar, or a question mark hook.

[0018] As another preferred structure for the mounting ring, the auxiliary tube is rotatably connected to the mounting ring, the mounting ring is provided with a base, the base is used to install auxiliary components, and the base is also provided with a positioning rod; the end face of the mounting tube near the mounting ring is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, the positioning holes being used to engage with the positioning rod.

[0019] In this technical solution, the mounting ring can rotate freely relative to the auxiliary bow tube. In some embodiments, an annular locking protrusion extending circumferentially along the end face of the auxiliary bow tube can be provided, and the mounting ring is provided with an annular locking groove that matches the annular locking protrusion, thereby enabling the mounting ring to rotate freely relative to the end face; in one or more embodiments, conversely, an annular locking groove can be provided on the end face of the auxiliary bow tube, and a matching annular locking protrusion can be provided on the mounting ring.

[0020] In this technical solution, the base on the mounting ring can also be used to install auxiliary components via snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, further enriching the functionality of the auxiliary bow tube device. Several positioning holes are provided on the end face of the mounting tube for fixing positioning rods, thus keeping the auxiliary components in the required position and enabling them to withstand more tension from the rubber band. In use, before fixing the auxiliary bow tube into the mounting tube, the required auxiliary components are installed on the base of the mounting ring. Then, the required angle of the auxiliary components is adjusted, the positioning rod on the base is inserted into the positioning hole of the required angle, and then the auxiliary bow tube is rotated to thread it into the mounting tube, ultimately fixing the auxiliary bow tube and auxiliary components to the mounting tube.

[0021] Furthermore, the plurality of positioning holes are evenly distributed circumferentially along the end face of the mounting tube.

[0022] In some preferred embodiments, the number of positioning holes is 3 to 8.

[0023] As a preferred structure of this utility model, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the main body, and a slider is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. A first extension rod is connected to the slider and the first extension rod is connected to the mounting tube. A fixing member is connected to the slider by a spring. The main body is provided with a plurality of fixing holes communicating with the sliding groove. The slider includes a fixed state and a moving state. In the fixed state, the fixing member is located in the fixing hole. In the moving state, the fixing member abuts against the side wall of the sliding groove and the spring is in a compressed state.

[0024] This technical solution enables the auxiliary archwire tube to move along the side wall of the main body, thus providing more flexible options for the setting of the auxiliary archwire and allowing adjustment of the point of action, force, and direction of action of the auxiliary archwire. Specifically, a groove is provided on the side wall of the main body. Preferably, the groove is parallel to the side wall on which it is located. For example, after the main body is bonded to the tooth, the groove on the horizontal side wall above the main body extends horizontally. Another example is that the groove in the vertical side wall on the left side of the main body extends vertically. In some preferred embodiments, grooves are provided on both mutually perpendicular side walls of the main body, and the two grooves are interconnected to allow the slider to move from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, thereby driving the auxiliary archwire connected to it to be adjusted to either a horizontal or vertical auxiliary archwire as needed. In one or more embodiments, a groove may also be provided on only one side wall of the main body, so that the slider can only move in the horizontal or vertical direction.

[0025] In use, the slider can be moved along the groove according to the orthodontic progress to change the position of the auxiliary arch tube mounted on the moving mechanism relative to the fixed orthodontic appliance inside the insertion mouth. After moving to the desired position, the auxiliary arch tube can be fixed to the main body by ligature wires or ligature rings, thus allowing doctors to flexibly adjust the position of the auxiliary arch tube according to orthodontic needs and progress, which has broad application prospects.

[0026] In this technical solution, the slider is further connected to a mounting tube located outside the main body via a first extension rod. After the mounting tube is fixed, the auxiliary arch wire moves synchronously with the slider. A fixing member is connected to the slider via a spring. The main body has several fixing holes communicating with the slide groove. By matching the fixing member with the fixing hole, the slider can be fixed within the slide groove. Specifically, when the slider moves within the slide groove, i.e., when the slider is in a moving state, the fixing member abuts against the side wall of the slide groove, and the spring is in a compressed state. When the slider continues to move and reaches the fixing hole, after losing the abutment of the side wall, the fixing member is inserted into the fixing hole under the elastic force of the spring, and at least a portion of the fixing member protrudes from the front of the main body. The fixing member engages with the fixing hole, the spring is in a naturally extended state, and the slider enters a fixed state. In the fixed state, the auxiliary arch wire is also fixed to the main body, and the relative position of the auxiliary arch wire and the fixed orthodontic appliance in the installation port is fixed, enabling subsequent installation of the auxiliary archwire. When the position of the auxiliary tube needs to be readjusted, the slider can be unlocked by pushing the fixing piece into the slide groove. The slider will then enter the moving state again until it reaches the next adjacent fixing hole and enters the fixed state.

[0027] With the above settings, the slider can be stably fixed in the groove without the aid of ligature wires or ligature rings, and the slider can be locked and unlocked in the groove more quickly, further simplifying orthodontic operations and reducing chairside operation time in the clinic.

[0028] Furthermore, an adjusting component is rotatably connected to the slider, and a threaded post is provided on the adjusting component. A threaded groove matching the threaded post is provided on the first extension rod. An adjusting port is also provided on the main body, which connects the external space of the main body with the slide groove and extends along the slide groove.

[0029] In this technical solution, the adjusting component is rotatably mounted on the slider, allowing it to rotate relative to the slider around its own axis. A threaded post on the adjusting component is threadedly connected to a threaded groove on the first extension rod. When the adjusting component is rotated through the adjusting port, if the first extension rod is restricted to rotate asynchronously, it will move closer to or further away from the slider along the central axis of the threaded rod and threaded groove, thus achieving fine-tuning of the mounting tube position. For example, after the auxiliary archwire passes through the auxiliary arch tube, the rotation of the mounting tube and the first extension rod is restricted. By rotating the adjusting component, the threaded rod can be screwed into or out of the threaded groove, allowing the auxiliary archwire to move closer to or further away from the main body.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer wall of the adjusting member is provided with several actuating grooves. This facilitates the easier movement of the adjusting member by using dental instruments such as gingival scalpels to actuate the grooves.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. In this utility model, after the auxiliary archwire is inserted into the auxiliary arch tube, since the entire auxiliary arch tube device is located on a specific tooth position, the auxiliary archwire only applies force to the tooth position it is located on. Compared with the existing method of applying force to the entire main archwire, it can avoid applying force to the dentition segment or the whole segment, thereby effectively improving the orthodontic efficiency and orthodontic effect.

[0033] 2. This utility model uses snap-fit ​​and threaded connection to detachably fix the auxiliary bow tube in the mounting tube, which not only enables the quick installation and removal of the auxiliary bow tube, but also allows the auxiliary bow wire to be connected more stably to the required tooth position.

[0034] 3. By placing the mounting tube on the side wall of the main body, this utility model can better utilize the auxiliary archwire to guide the auxiliary archwire, and also leaves more operating space on the front of the main body. In addition, compared with placing it on the front of the main body, placing the mounting tube on the side wall can also prevent the auxiliary archwire from being too close to the inner wall of the oral cavity, effectively protecting the inner wall of the oral cavity;

[0035] 4. By setting an installation ring on the auxiliary arch tube, this utility model can install different auxiliary components, further enriching the function of the auxiliary arch tube system. It allows doctors to flexibly install auxiliary components such as protective balls according to the treatment process, thereby improving the treatment effect, simplifying the treatment operation, and reducing chairside operation time.

[0036] 5. This utility model has a sliding groove on the side wall of the main body, which allows the auxiliary arch tube to move around the main body. The position of the auxiliary arch tube can be flexibly adjusted according to orthodontic needs and orthodontic progress, and it has broad application prospects.

[0037] 6. This utility model can stably fix the moving mechanism in the slide groove without the aid of ligature wires or ligature rings, and the moving mechanism can lock and unlock in the slide groove more quickly, further simplifying orthodontic operations and reducing clinical chairside operation time.

[0038] 7. This utility model can fine-tune the position of the mounting tube through the adjustment component, which enriches the flexibility of the adjustment method and is conducive to adjusting the force applied to specific tooth positions according to orthodontic needs, thereby further improving orthodontic efficiency and effect.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 The detachable orthodontic auxiliary tube device shown includes a main body 1, on which an installation port 2 for inserting a fixed orthodontic appliance 8 is provided. The installation port 2 penetrates the front and bottom surfaces of the main body 1. A mounting tube 5 is also connected to the side wall of the main body 1. A detachable auxiliary tube 6 is connected to the mounting tube 5. A connecting section 65 is provided on the outer wall of the auxiliary tube 6. A first thread 61 is provided on the connecting section 65. The outer diameter of the first thread 61 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the non-connecting section 65 on the auxiliary tube 6. A second thread 51 matching the first thread 61 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting tube 5.

[0056] In some embodiments, the main body can be made of metal materials such as stainless steel and titanium alloy, or it can be made of ceramic material or a composite material composed of ceramic and metal.

[0057] In one or more embodiments, the mounting port is eccentrically positioned to allow more space for the operation of the moving mechanism.

[0058] In one or more embodiments, the fixed orthodontic appliance is a bracket or a buccal tube.

[0059] In one or more embodiments, the connection area of ​​the first thread and the second thread is preferably located at one end of the mounting tube, so that the auxiliary bow tube can be fixed at the connection area after being inserted from the other end of the mounting tube.

[0060] Before orthodontic treatment, either the main appliance or the fixed appliance can be installed first, ensuring that the final fixed appliance is located within the mounting opening of the main appliance. During orthodontic treatment, when the auxiliary archwire needs to be installed, the main archwire can be removed from the fixed appliance, the main appliance can be bonded to the tooth surface, the fixed appliance can be placed within its mounting opening, the auxiliary archwire can then be fixed to the mounting tube, and the auxiliary archwire can be passed through the auxiliary archwire.

[0061] Example 2:

[0062] Based on Embodiment 1, the auxiliary bow tube 6 is threadedly connected to a mounting ring 62, and a base 63 is provided on the mounting ring 62. The base 63 is used to install auxiliary components.

[0063] When using it, you can first fix the auxiliary tube to the mounting tube, then rotate the mounting ring to adjust the base to the appropriate orientation, and then install the auxiliary component on the base. Then you can use the auxiliary tube device to carry the auxiliary component to complete some specific operations in the orthodontic process, reduce the use of ligature wires and ligature rings, and effectively reduce the clinical chairside operation time.

[0064] Example 3:

[0065] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary bow tube 6 is rotatably connected to a mounting ring 62, and a base 63 is provided on the mounting ring 62. The base 63 is used to install auxiliary components, and a positioning rod 64 is also provided on the base 63. Several positioning holes 56 are provided on the end face of the mounting tube 5 near the mounting ring 62. The positioning holes 56 are used to engage with the positioning rod 64.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, an annular locking protrusion 67 extending circumferentially along the end face can be provided on the end face of the auxiliary tube, and an annular locking groove 66 matching the annular locking protrusion is provided on the mounting ring, so that the mounting ring can rotate freely relative to the end face.

[0067] In use, before fixing the auxiliary tube into the mounting tube, install the required auxiliary parts on the base of the mounting ring, then adjust the required angle of the auxiliary parts, insert the positioning rod on the base into the positioning hole of the required angle, and then rotate the auxiliary tube to make it threadedly connected with the mounting tube, thus finally fixing the auxiliary tube and auxiliary parts on the mounting tube.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary component is a protective ball 91. In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the auxiliary component can also be a V-shaped rod 92. In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the auxiliary part can also be a question mark hook 93.

[0069] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of positioning holes 56 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the end face of the mounting tube 5. In one or more embodiments, the number of positioning holes 56 is 3 to 8.

[0070] Example 4:

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, a sliding groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the main body 1, and a slider 52 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 11. A first extension rod 53 is connected to the slider 52, and the first extension rod 53 is connected to the mounting tube 5. A fixing member 522 is connected to the slider 52 by a spring 521. The main body 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 12 communicating with the sliding groove 11. The slider 52 includes a fixed state and a moving state. In the fixed state, the fixing member 522 is located in the fixing hole 12. In the moving state, the fixing member 522 abuts against the side wall of the sliding groove 11, and the spring 521 is in a compressed state.

[0072] In some preferred embodiments, a horizontal slide groove is provided on the upper side wall of the main body, and a vertical slide groove is provided on the left side wall. The two slide grooves are perpendicular to each other and connected to each other, so as to allow the moving mechanism to move from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, thereby driving the auxiliary bow tube connected to it to be adjusted to a horizontal auxiliary bow wire or a vertical auxiliary bow wire as needed. Figure 1 As shown, although Figure 1 The two slides are not directly shown, but their directions can be inferred from the extension directions of the transverse adjustment port 3, the longitudinal adjustment port 4, and the fixing hole along the slides. In one or more embodiments, the slides may be provided on only one side wall of the main body, allowing the moving mechanism to move only in the horizontal or vertical direction.

[0073] In this embodiment, the slider can be fixed within the groove by matching the fixing member with the fixing hole. For example... Figure 8As shown, when the slider moves within the groove, i.e., when the slider is in the moving state, the fixed part abuts against the side wall of the groove, and at this time the first spring is in a compressed state. Figure 7 As shown, when the slider continues to move and reaches the fixing hole, after losing the contact with the side wall, the fixing member is inserted into the fixing hole under the elastic force of the first spring, and at least a part of the fixing member protrudes from the upper surface of the main body. The fixing member engages with the fixing hole, the first spring is in a naturally extended state, and the slider enters the fixed state. In the fixed state, the auxiliary bow tube is also fixed to the main body, and the relative position of the auxiliary bow tube and the fixed orthodontic appliance in the installation port is fixed, allowing for subsequent installation of the auxiliary bow wire. When it is necessary to readjust the position of the auxiliary bow tube, the slider can be unlocked by pushing the fixing member into the groove, and the slider re-enters the groove. Figure 8 The movement continues until it reaches the next adjacent fixing hole and enters the fixing state.

[0074] In some embodiments, the number of fixing holes can be adjusted according to different specifications. Preferably, the number of fixing holes corresponding to the grooves extending in the same direction is 2 to 4, which can basically cover the positional changes of the auxiliary arch tube during orthodontic treatment.

[0075] In some preferred embodiments, the slider can be made of a material that can be attracted by a magnet, and magnets are provided on the sidewalls of the slide, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the magnet 13 is positioned corresponding to the fixing hole 12 so that the slider is magnetically attracted when passing through the fixing hole. This magnetic attraction not only alerts the doctor that the slider is about to pass through the fixing hole through changes in the reaction force, preventing accidental misses, but also allows the slider to be accurately positioned at the fixing hole and strengthens the connection between the slider and the groove, further improving the stability of the moving mechanism.

[0076] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a stabilizing groove 14 is also provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 11, located on the opposite side of the fixing hole 12. The stabilizing groove 14 extends along the slide groove 11, and a stabilizing block 523 that can move along the stabilizing groove 14 is connected to the slider 52. In one or more embodiments, a plurality of ball bearings 524 that contact the stabilizing groove 14 are also provided on the stabilizing block 523.

[0077] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a second extension rod 54 is connected between the first extension rod 53 and the mounting tube 5. The second extension rod 54 is used to extend the mounting tube 5 to a position closer to the buccal side than the main body 1, which reduces the contact with the orthodontic patient's gums during operation to a certain extent.

[0078] In some embodiments, the angle between the first extension rod and the second extension rod is 90 to 100°.

[0079] In some embodiments, the length of the second extension bar is configured such that, after the fixed orthodontic appliance is installed, the height of the auxiliary archwire in the mounting tube is lower than the height of the main archwire in the fixed orthodontic appliance. That is, the auxiliary archwire is closer to the tooth surface than the main archwire, thereby reducing the impact of the auxiliary archwire's operation on the main archwire. In some embodiments, for example... Figure 1 In an auxiliary archwire system where the movement trajectories of the auxiliary archwire and the main archwire do not overlap, or in cases where horizontal grooves are provided only on the upper and lower side walls of the main body, the length of the second extension rod can be set higher, or even the auxiliary archwire can be made closer to the cheek side than the main archwire, leaving more space for the adjustment of the auxiliary archwire.

[0080] Example 5:

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, an adjusting member 55 is rotatably connected to the slider 52, and a threaded post 553 is provided on the adjusting member 55. The first extension rod 53 is provided with a threaded groove 531 that matches the threaded post 553. An adjusting port is also provided on the main body 1. The adjusting port connects the external space of the main body 1 with the slide groove 11, and the adjusting port extends along the slide groove 11.

[0082] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the adjusting member is provided with a rotating shaft 552, which is movably inserted into the slider.

[0083] In one or more embodiments, a plurality of actuating grooves 551 are provided on the outer wall of the adjusting member along its circumference, which facilitates the use of dental instruments such as gingival scalpels to more easily drive the actuating grooves and thus rotate the adjusting member.

[0084] Example 6:

[0085] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a partition 68 is provided inside the auxiliary bow tube 6. The partition 68 is used to divide the internal space of the auxiliary bow tube 6 into several independent channels, and each channel is used for a single auxiliary bow wire 7 to pass through.
