- the first embodiment and/or the second embodiment serve to illustrate further aspects of the invention. ln the following, a safety syringe according to the first aspect and further aspects of the invention is explained.
- This device is for a safety syringe preventing a third, person fro getting damaged by the used syringe needles. It is designed to keep the syringe needle hi c ⁇ stody ⁇ syringe cylinder once used so that a third person may not be pricked by the used needles The phmger shall then be broken after use in order to prevent from being used aga ⁇ n.
- the conventional disposable syringes are, bof ever, after being used, us ⁇ aliy or frequently being disposed or not properly dealt 'with the needles and thus a third person may be sasily pricked. Such problems of giving damages to a -third party have not be ⁇ a solved.
- the syringe needles always have blood stain, in case medical workers including doctors and nurses as. well as a third party get pricfeed by an used syringe needles they ate very much, concerned of being infected by the disease of the patients (AIDS, hepatitis- etc) and such cases have been reported.
- This device is a safety syringe system which prevents cfeease feom being infected to a third party via used syringe needles by looping it inside the syringe cylinder.
- the used needle does not need to be taken off from he syringe after use, but, instead, it is pulled into file cylinder to be fixed and kept in custody inside cylinder. And by doing fins, infections of disease to a third party by getting pricked can be prevented.
- Th ⁇ s device is to introduce more advanced safety syringe system "which, Ls simpler in structure and more reliable in affect compared "with the above-said previous patent. Technical Target that this device pursue to acccmpEsh.
- No-914532 and Open Utility Model Public News No.96-13409 was to have the needleset fixed to the plunger so that • & ⁇ syringe needle can be kept inside cylinder "when the plunger is pulled back.
- the disposable syringe that I have patented as above had som defects requiring a host of parts and extreme preciseness whereby creating difficulties in manufacturing.
- This device has been developed instead. It is simpler in structure, easier in msnufact ⁇ ring, has eliminated the possibility of mis-use and requires less number of parts
- Fig. 1 to 1 1 In the following it is referred to Fig. 1 to 1 1 .
- Tins device with suck structure "will act as follows:
- Cylinderfil) and tie syringe needle inserte*(31) are combined together by thrusting the needle inserter(31) from the rear end of the cylinder (11) to the inside of foe cylinder until the projections (13) on foe inner face of the cyl der(ll) insert hole(l2) meet and set in the " ⁇ ⁇ shaped grooves formed on the outer race of the barrel shaped needle ins ⁇ rte ⁇ (31).
- the syringe needle inserter (31) and syringe needle are fixed at foe cyfinder(ll) tip, and by thrusting foe pk ge(41) into foe cylinderfil), syringe assembly is completed.
- the syringe sucks foe injection into foe cylinder ll) when the pltmger(4l) is pulled back.
- the syringe needle inserter (31) winch is truned by foe plunger (41) is again turning the " ⁇ ⁇ shaped grooves (34), foen foe projections(13) of foe cyEnderfll) -will turn foe straight line of foe " ⁇ i" shaped grooves(34).
- foe projections fl3) ⁇ wfll be pushed forward along foe straight hues of n ⁇ ⁇ n shaped grooves, and at foe same time, foe needle ins ⁇ rter(31) as well as the syringe needle(21) vfi ⁇ x is inserted thereto will be pushed back to inside of cylinder(ll).
- This device is designed to withhold the used syringe needle inside foe cylinder, foe roam body of syringe, and whereby to prevent foe possible damages which may happen to medical workers including doctors and nurses as well as a third paty from being pricked by the used syringe needles,
- the syringe needs to be dealt with, utmost care regardless before of after use, due to foe sharp*pointed needles.
- a special attention is required to be paid to foe used ones because of foe blood stain.
- the syringes used ofr patients of such disease must be handled with special attention.
- This device is designed to keep the used syringe needle inside the cylinder prohibiting re-use of foe used syrmge needles in order to prevent possible damages for medical woik ⁇ rs including doctors and nurses and a third party alike to be taken fio being pricked by the used syringe needles.
- the syringe needle which is fixed in foe syringe needle fixer is set at foe tip of cylinder with foe help of the syringe needle inserter.
- Inserting part is composed at foe projection of foe tip of the plunger which is to be put m foe cylinder.
- foe rear end of the syringe needle fixer is formed foe assembling part
- the projection of foe plunger joints the syringe needle fixer.
- Piston and plunger are in foe cylinder while the ordinary syringe has foe syringe needle affixed to foe syringe, this device has foe cylinderfil), syringe needle l), syringe needle inserter ⁇ l) and plunger respectively as parts of its structure.
- tip are a host of projections(13) and incased groovesfl4) arranged alternatively one after another. Cylinder's ⁇ 1) it er fece has stopping sill and hooking sill in the rear.
- a syringe needle fixer to fix syringe needle.
- Outer barrel shaped outer fece of the syringe needle fixer has a number of " ⁇ T" shaped grooves for ptojections(13) formed on foe inner fece of foe insert hole(12) to set in.
- pac3ring(35) is set in the rear.
- projections(36) On foe upper and lower part of the inner face of foe rear part are projections(36).
- a NEEDLE INSERTING DEV1CEC31 IS INSERTED INTO A BARREL FROM THE BACK END OF A BARREL(U) AND PUSHED TOWARDS THE FRONT END UNTIL A NUMBER OF FROJECTTONSU3) IN THE INSIDE OF A INSERTING HOLEQ2) OF A HARREL(ll) REACHES THE END OF " ⁇ 4 SHAPED GROOVE ⁇ 34) HAVING A WIDE ENTRANCE ON THE CYLINDRICAL OUTER SURFACE(33) OF A NEEDLE INSERTING DEVICEOi), AND ASSEMBLED WITH A BARREL(ll ) .
- a PLUNGER( 1) IS PULLED BACK AND MEDICATION IS SUCKED INTO THE INSIDE OF A BAHREL(ll) AS USUAL.
- THE PLUNGER(41) IS PULLED BACK, THE MEDICATION IS SUCKED INTO A BABREL AND FT IS INJECTED TO A PATENT'S BODY, AFTER MEDICATION IS INJECTED TO A BODY AND A NEEDLE(21 ) IS WITHDRAWN FROM IT, AS ADDITIONAL FORCE IS APPLIED TO A PLUNGER (41) (FIGURE 5), A PISTON(42) WHICH HAS AN EMPTY SPACE(47) INSIDE IS PRESSED AND SQUEEZED.
- PROJECTIONS Q3) IS MOVED FORWARD THROUGH THE STRAIGHT LINE OF A *- ⁇ " SHAPED FEMALE. AND SIMULTANEOUSLY A NEEDLE INSERTING DEVICE ⁇ 31> WITH AN ATTACHED NEEDLEC21) IS MOVED BACK INTO A BARRELOU AND KEPT INSIDE.
- a PLUNGER(41) IS MOVED BACKWARDS UNTIL AN PLUNGER ANNULAR PROMINENCES) REACHES AN RESTRAINING ANNULAR PR0MINENCE(16) OF A BARREL. AND THEN, A PLUNGER IS BROKEN OFF AT A CUTTING NOTCH(45).
- a NEEDLE INSERTING DEVlCE ⁇ l INCLUDING A NEEDLE(21) IS THROUGHLY INSERTED INTO THE INSIDE OF A BARREL(ll).
- a NEEDLE STORED IN THE INSIDE OF A BARREL IS SAFELY KEPT IN BECAUSE A INSERTING HOLE(12) IS BLOCKED BY A BROKEN FLUNGER(41).
- a SYRINGE HAVING A SHARP NEEDLE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH MUCH CARE, WHETHER IT IS USED OR NOT. ESPECIALLY, IN CASE OF A BLOOD-STAINED NEEDLE USED FOR A PATIENT, IT SHOULD BE TREATED MOST CAREFULLY.
- the plunger (41 ) has a cap (49), which serves to close the front hole of the cylinder ( 1 1 ) after injection, i.e. after retraction of the needle (21 ) into the cylinder (cp. Fig. 1 0 and 1 1 ) .
- a part of the plunger ( 1 1 ) itself serves (after breaking the plunger) to close the front hole of the cylinder ( 1 1 ) after injection, i.e. after retraction of the needle (21 ) into the cylinder.
- the part of the plunger is inserted into the cylinder (cp. Fig. 1 6 and 1 8) . Accordingly, the costs for the manufacturing of the cap (e.g . the cost for providing a mold) are saved.
- the general structure and functioning of the first and second embodiment are more or less the same.
- needle inserting device or needle inserter may as well be termed needle holder.
