DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Although the invention is adaptable to a wide variety of uses, it is shown in the drawings for purpose of illustration as embodied in a dental work station, (10) comprised of dentist's service cabinet, (11) a generally J-shaped overhead structure (12) and a dentist's dynamic instrument station (13).
See FIG.
1.
It is understood that there are many arrangements of the equipment and devices disclosed in this invention and the accompanying description is merely one example of that arrangement.
The dentist's service cabinet (11) is a rear delivery system for use by the dentist or dental assistant adjacent to the head of the patient's chair (14).
The service cabinet provides access to the junction box of essential dental utilities.
Secured thereto is a reversible dental assistant's unit (15) which is connected to the cabinet by a first pivoting bracket arm (16).
See FIG.

The service cabinet contains a counter top (17) which can extend on both the right hand and left hand side of the service cabinet.
Each side of the service cabinet is furnished with a sink (18) and a sink cabinet (19) with each sink cabinet located above the counter top which is easily assessable to both the dentist and the dental assistant.
This is an optional feature which may or may not be provided depending upon the preference of the operator.
The bottom portion of the service cabinet contains a series of storage compartments (20) and access doors (21) for access to the dental utilities.
Running through the service cabinet are the hoses or tubes for the typical dental utilities, such as vacuum, water, compressed air, electricity for providing power to the various electrical instruments and various gas tubes for providing gases such as nitrous oxide for use during dental procedures.
In an alternative embodiment the service cabinet can be hung from a back wall rather than being supported by the floor but in either embodiment the utility lines will run through the cabinet
