Application January 15, 1951, Serial No. 205,999
7 Claims.
This invention relates to a syringe and more particularly to a disposable syringe adapted for intra-muscular injections.
It is a feature of this syringe that in the preferred embodiment all parts except the needle are formed from polyethylene plastic with a result that the device can be made at a very nominal cost.
It is an object of this invention to provide a dis posable syringe which may be prefllled with an injectable and thus supplied to the physician in ready to use form.
It is another feature of this invention that novel plug means are used within the fluid containing tube to insure proper filling of the plug with the liquids either so as to present a desired amount of air or so as to positively exclude any air.
It is another object of this invention to provide such a novel plug which is shaped to permit the injection from the syringe of all or substantially all of the fluid contained therein.
It is another object of this invention to provide in one of the-embodiments a syringe package containing upon one side a powdered injectable and upon the other side a diluent therefore, which when ready to be used can be mixed just prior to injection.
It is another object of this invention in an alternative embodiment to provide an inexpensive syringe of the type described which instead of being used once and thrown away can be reused the user injecting only a portion of the iniectable fluid with each use. 1
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the an nexed specification in which:
Fi ure l is a vertical. section throu h a syringe embo ng the pre ent invention showing the same filled and sealed.
Figure 2 is a view partl in section of the device shown in Figure 1 partially assembled.
Figure 3 is a section taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a front view of one of the plugs em loyed in the present invention.
Figure 5 is a plan view of the plug shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a vertical section through an alterna-.
tive embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 7 is a vertical section of the needle struc-- Figure 91s a plan view of the device shown in Figure 8.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the invention comprises a generally tubular member I!) closed at its upper end as at 15 and having a flange H at its lower end. The member H] is formed of polyethylene plastic and the walls of the tube are thin enough to be easily deformable between the fingers of a user.
The flange l2 has an enlarged opening 53 therein forming a shoulder upon which shoulder the flange i l of a plug 55 is adapted to seat. The plug !5 is also formed of polyethylene plastic and the cylindrical walls thereof have asliding flt with the interior of the tube H3.
The upper end of the plug l5 has sides is and I1 beveled as shown, which bevel is truncated as at I 8. The plug i5 is also provided with a post I9 having an enlarged shoulder 29 and a gently tapered frustoconical portion 2 I. A surgical needle 22 having an opening 23 is provided extending axially through the plug. In the embodiment shown in Figure l, the needle extends into the plug to a point'indicated at 2% and in this embodiment the plug is provided with a bore or passage 25. This bore or passage 25 communicates the upper end of the needle 22 to the interior of the tube is substantially at the point where the taper of one of the sides is or I! intersects the interior of the tube ill.
In the embodiments shown in Figures 4 and 5, the needle 22 is extended completely through the plug I 5 axially thereof and ends at the truncated portion I 8.
A cap 26 is provided also formed of polyethylene plastic and the cap 26 is provided with an. end piece 21 which is enlarged sufiiciently so that when the device is assembled, as shown in Figure 1. the lower end of the needle 22 all of the opening 23 therein will be embedded in the plastic material of the end 21 thus securely sealing the needle and preventing escape of any of the fluid 28 from the interior of the tube it. The flange H! has a press fit with the shoulder to form another seal.
The enlarged shoulder 20 is designed to have a larger diameter than the interior of the can 26 so that when the cap is pressed firmly on the post H! the cylindrical cap 25 expands due to its inherent resiliency and a firm clamping action to the shoulder 20 occurs.
With a plug as shown in Figure 1 with a pa is inverted andthe plug l5 is then-pressedintc the tube. any excess fluid escaping through the passage 25 and outwardly through the needle 22. With a plug of the type shown in Figures 4 and 5, however, as the plug is pressed downwardly into the tube it will first make contact with the fluid therein in the region of the truncated portion i8 and. air will be trapped between the beveled side walls 16 and I1 and the interior of the tube [6. Any excess fluid will be expelled through the needle 22 and this air retained. In certain cases it is desirable to have a certain amount of air present, for instance, when it is desired to aspirate the syringe. Thus the type of plug shown in Figures 4 and 5 will be used in this case.
In either embodiment the tapered sides IQ and I1 form a surface which the forwardly sliding thumb and finger of the user will finally rest upon in expelling the injectable from the tube H1. As the fingers th s press the walls of the tube down upon the tapered sides I6 and I1, completely all of the space within the tube is collapsed thus assuring that substantially all of fluid originally contained in tube I is injected into the patient. In prior devices of the same general type this has never been possible.
Referring now more particularly to the embodiment shown in Figures 6 and '7, this embodiment employs a tube Ill and plug l identical with the one shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5 with the exception that a straight bore or passage M9 is provided axially of the plug and no needle is used.
A cap BI is employed having a flange 32 and an enlarged head 33. The cap has its inner edges 34 formed to fit the frustoconical shape of the post l9 and a press fit is maintained not only with the sides of the post [9 but with the end thereof. This provides an assembly in which the tube 0 may be filled with fluid to be injected and the same is retained therein by the cap 3!. When it is desired to use the syringe, the cap 35 is removed and a needle assembly 35 is placed over the post IS. The needle assembly, as shown in Figure '7, comprises a flange 36, a body 3! which is formed similarly to the cap 3| so that its inner walls 38 have a press fit with the outer walls of the post is and a needle 39 is provided axially of the member 35 extending outwardly thereof and having a tapered opening not shown. Thus the needle communicates with the passage 39 when assembled on the tube.
It is contemplated that the physician may be provided with only one of the members 35 which can be used, removed, the tube recapped and the needle sterilized. This device shown in Fig ure 7 will, in such case, be made entirely of metal.
With the embodiment shown in Figures 6 and 7, the user can give a small amount of an injection, the amount being less than all of the injectable contained within the tube and then recap it for later use. This is particularly useful in the case of allergy shots.
Referring now to the device shown in Figures 8 and 9, in this embodiment the tube I0 is again present similar to the tube II] in the previous embodiments. The plug 15 is similar to the plug shown in the previous embodiments except that the needle 40 is shown somewhat shorter; however, this need not be the case. In this case, the cap 4! is provided with a flange 42, an enlarged head 43 and frustoconical side walls 44. A vial 45 is provided having a flange 51 which has an enlarged bore 52 forming a shoulder on the interior thereof. The vial 45 is thus adapted to fit.
and seal against the flange 42 and have its inner walls 48 spaced substantially away from the outer wall 44 of the cap thus providing a substantial reservoir for fluid 49.
The vial 35 has an end piece as which includes a very thin membrane 41. This membrane is in the order of six to ten millimeters thick and the entire vial is formed of polyethylene lastic.
The device thus described is adapted to retain a dry powder 5% in the tube it and the linuid 49 in the vial 55. When the device is placed in use, the tube 10 and plug !5 are removed from the cap 4| without removing the cap 4! from sealing relation to the vial 45. The needle 4!) is then pushed through the thin membrane 4? and the tube at colla sed to draw fluid from the vial into the tube for mixture with the powder 51!. The fluid and powder can be worked back and forth between the tube and vial as many times as desired. to insure mixing.
The membrane 4'! is of the thickness indicated in order to prevent plug ing of the end of the needle with a portion of elastic as the needle is pushed through the membrane. It has been found that if such thin membranes are used the formation of such plugs will be prevented.
While there has been described what is at present considered a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be ap reciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the essence of the invention and it is intended to cover herein all such changes and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the appended claims.
