Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A hypodermic syringe includes a container, a hollow needle connected to the container, and a wire extend-ing through the bore of the needle and projecting from opposite ends thereof. A front projecting end of the wire is secured to a protective cover, and d rear projecting end of the wire extends through a body of thermoplastic synthe-tic material formed in a sealing manner around the wire and the adjacent rear end of the needle. The body is sealingly secured to or forms part of the container.

Description

39~4~
The invention relates to hypodermic syringes of the kïnd which are only intended to be used once. Such syringes have a needle extending from a container in which the liquid ~o be injected is stored.
Known hypodermic syringes of this kind have a single-time usage seal which has to be broken in order to permit the syringe to be used. Such breaking of the seal may have disadvantageous consequences, as particles of the seal may become entrained with the liquid in the syringe and be ;njected into the body of a patient. This is parti-cularly likely when the seal comprises a rubber membrane which has to be penetrated by the needle of the syringe.
Particulate matter of the membrane may be transported into the body of the patient.
The rubber membrane may be in a hypodermic syringe intended for single-time usage, lying between the needle and the liquid contents. However, the rubber membrane alterna-ti`vely may be in the sealing of an ampoule or glass cartrid~e i`n which the liquid to be injected is contained. The membrane has to be penetrated by the needle of a normal hypodermic syringe in order to permit the contents to be drawn -through the needle into the hypodermic syringe.
Apart from the above-mentioned problem of contamina- ~ -tion of the liquid contents of the container with small par-ticles of the ruptured seal, there is also the problem that the seal has to be compatible with the liquid contents of the container~ -With hypodermic syringes of a very small volume, the seal has to be correspondingly small and at the same ti`me must be compatible with the liquid in the container.
Such seals are very expensive. Actually, rubber is not a ~ ' ~A~
' ~3~6 particularly sui-table material for the seal of a hypodermic syr;nge. However, other materials are not readily available.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement in which no particles of the seal become mixed with the contents of the con-tainer, which container is inexpensive and in which materials can be used which are inert to a high degree with respect to the contents of the container.
The present invention provides a hypodermic syringe comprising a container, a hollow needle connected to the container and a wire extending through the bore of the needle and projecting from opposite ends thereof, a front project-i`ng end of the wire being secured to a protective cover, and a rear projecting end of the wire extending through a body of thermoplastic synthetic ma-terial formed in a sealing manner around the wire and the adjacent rear end of the needle, said body being sealingly secured to or forming part of the container.
~reaking the seal is effected by removing the cover and thereby pulling out the wire from the needle.
When the wire is pulled out completely, a clean channel through the plastic body and needle is obtained, with no particles of the wire remaining, so that there are no wire particles which migh~ become entrained with the contents of the container. If the wire-should break during pull-out and a remnant should remain in the channel, then the needle and/or plastic body remains obstructed. The risk of this occurring can of course be reduced by correct chbice of wire material.
The present invention also provides a method for manufacturïng a needle, wire and plastic body combination "J, i ' 3~

for a hypodermic syringe, wherein a hollow needle with a wire extending therethrough and projecting from opposite ends thereof is placed in a casting mold such that a rear end portion of the needle and the associated projecting wire end portion are located in a mold cavity and the wire end por-tion extends through the cavity to a clamp for clamping the end of the wire, injecting synthetic thermoplastic material i`nto the mold cavity to form a body of synthetic plastic material around the wire and adjacent the rear end portion of the needle, and removing the needle, wire and plastic body combination from the casting mold. The molded body will shrink around the wire and constitute a press fit, which assures a good sealing.
Preferably the wire consists of a synthetic material, ;
the melting point of which i.s higher than that of the ~ody in which the wire fits.
One embodiment of the invention will now be des- .
cribed, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which: `
Figure 1 is a side view, partly in section, of a hypodermic syringe, and ~igure 2 is a sectional side view of a portion of a casting mold for producing a part of the syringe of Figure l.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 shows a hypo-aermic syringe having a container 1 of the type described in : British patent No. 1,503,585. A hvpodermic needle 2 is secured to the container l, and has an exposed portion pro-tected by a cover 3. A wire 4 extends through the needle 2 and has an end 5 permanently connected to the cover 3. The other end 13 of the wire projects from the inner end 6 of the needle 2.

`~ ~$~3~6 The inner end 6 of the needle is secured in a body of synthetic plastic material, the body having a front portion 7 for receiving the protective cover 3, a flange 8 abutting the container 1 and a conical portion 9 which is clamped into a corresponding bore 10 of the body 11 of the container 1, the body 11 having a channel 12 connecting the bore 10 with the contents of the container 1. The conical portion 9 is formed both around the inner end 6 of the needle and around the end 13 of the wire so that -the passage through the needle is completely closed at the end 6.
When the cover is removed by pulling it to the right in Figure 1, the wire 4 is pulled out of the portion 7 8, 9 of synthetic material, such that at 13 a channel is created through which the contents of the container 1 can be conveyed to the needle 2.
F.igure 2 shows a portion of a casting mold with two halves 24 and 25, which each also can be divided into a plane perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and through the axis of the mold cavity 2~. The mold cavity 20 26 has the shape of the body 7, 8, 9 shown in Figure 1.
The needle 2 with inserted wire 4 is placed in the mold half 25, and the ends of the wire 4 are supported in clamps 27, 28. The clamp 28 consists of a set of grippers, which are fastened in a conical body 29, which is placed in the mold half 24. By injection of a thermoplastic synthetic materi`al in the mold cavity 26, a body is formed which surrounds both the end of the needle and the end of the wire protruding from it. The needle 2, wire 4 and plastic body 7, 8, 9 are then assembled with a suitable container.

As a material for the plastic body 7, 8, 9, poly-ethene or polypropylene may be used, while th~ wire may consist ~13~46 of a stretched nylon wire. ~ very advantageous comblnation ïs obtained when the plastic body 7, 8, 9 consists of a plug of polyamide, for example nylon, and a wire is of Teflon (trademark). For the wire, a glass fiber covered with Teflon may also be used. The wire should be a mono-filament fiber. Other materials are possible for the plastic body 7, 8, 9, for example polyolefins, polyamides and polyesters.
Other embodiments oE the invention will be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art, the scope of the invention being defined in the appended claims.
