Abstract
An apparatus for supporting and controlling fluid delivery to a dental handpiece includes a handpiece holding support arm pivotably mounted to a frame member with fluid-delivery tubing being affixed at spaced locations to the frame and to the support arm for folding of the tubing upon itself to close the tubing against fluid flow when the handpiece is mounted in the support arm's holder and for unfolding the tubing for open fluid flow when the handpiece is removed from the holder.
