2 claims. (olf 2147) This invention relates to sterilizers and more p-articularly a sterilizer for hypodermic syringes, needles and the like.
The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a sterilizer for hypodermic syringes, needles and the like adapted to support the same in a bottle or container in such position therein that damage to the same by accidentally contacting the bottle or container will be avoided.
Another object of this invention resides in the provision of a sterilizer for hypodermic syringes, needles and the like adapted to retain the same in a bottle or the like in safety against damage and for easy removal therefrom.
A further object of this invention resides in the combination of a vessel for retaining sterilizing liquid and a removal support for supporting a hypodermic syringe or the like therein in spaced relation from the walls of the vessel.
A still further object of this invention resides in the particular construction of the hypodermic syringe supporting standard.
Aside from the aforesaid objects, this invention resides in the means for removably securing a hypodermic syringe on the standard.
With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of elements to be hereinafter more particularly set forth in the specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims and, although the disclosure depicts my present conception of the invention, the right is reserved to resort to such changes in construction and arrangement of elements as come within the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application;
Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view through a sterilizing bottle showing the standard disposed therein and supporting a hypodermic syringe.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view thereof taken approximately on line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a similar view taken approximately on line 3-3 of Fig. l.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the standard.
Fig. 5 is a side view of a modified form of the standard.
Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
In the present illustration of this invention the numeral 5 designates, in general, a standard preferably but not necessarily constructed from a strain of stiff wire B having its upper end bent to form an inwardly directed handle 1 somewhat of loop-shape and its lower end bent diagonally downward and also inwardly to form a supporting foot 8 thereon.
Secured, as by welding or by other well known means, to the standard adjacent the foot 8 is a spacer 9 of cross shape having a centrally disposed aperture l formed therein at the base of an arcuate depression ll in the spacer.
Disposed above the aforesaid spacer 9 and secured to the standard as by welding or other well known means is a substantially ring shape spacer l2 having an opening I3 on that side thereof opposite the standard to permit sidewise insertion of the barrel of a hypodermic syringe within the ring subsequent to inserting the needle secured thereto through the aperture l0 with the clutch thereof resting on the spacer 9.
In order to removably retain a hypodermic syringe on the spacer 9 and within the lspacer l2 approximately in the center of a sterilizing vessel, herein indicated by the letter S, a resilient clip i4 preferably of fork shape is secured to the standard with its open ends l5 disposed approximately beneath the open end of the spacer I2.
Although the standard is herein shown as being provided with but one set of hypoderrnic supporting means as heretofore set forth, it is Within the purview of this invention to dispose several such sets at different positions around the standard for retaining a number of hypodermic syringes in spaced relation from the wall of a sterilizing Vessel, whereupon the standard will be disposed centrally of the vessel with the outer edges of the spacer bearing against the wall thereof and, of course, the foot and handle performing their assigned functions.
Where occasion demands transporting several types of hypodermic syringes, needles and the like for use in administering injections of different formulas, a suitable travelling kit having wells to receive the vessels is employed, the same may also carry other necessities required in using the hypodermic syringes, needles and the like.
With this invention fully described, it is manifest that means are provided for safely disposing hypodermic syringes, needles and the like in vessels containing sterilizing liquid or other matter and, through the simplicity of construction thereof, the same can be cheaply manufactured and sold for use in conjunction with the conventional vessels employed to sterilize such instruments.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination with a cylindrical sterilizing vessel, a standard removably disposed within the vessel and resting vertically against one side thereof, a lower spacer secured to the standard and having an aperture therein approximately aligned with the axis of the vessel, an upper ring shape spacer secured to the standard and having that side thereof opposite the standard open, a resilient fork shape clip secured to the standard and having its open end disposed approximately beneath the opening inthe upper spacer, a downwardly extending foot formed on the standard and directed diagonally toward the center of the vessel, and a loop shape handle formed on the upper end of thef standard and directed diagonally upward toward the center of the vessel.
2. In a support for disposing hypodermc syry inges in sterilizing vessels comprising, a standard,4
a foot formed on the lower end of the standard and extending inwardly and downwardly therefrom on a diagonal line relative thereto, a cross shape lower spacer secured to the standard and EMMETT S. BLOCHER.
