22 Claims. (Cl. 128--218) This invention relates to hypodermic syringes, and more particularly to disposable hypodermic syringes adapted to serve as medicament containers.
Included among the objects and advantages of the present invention, is an eicient and economical hypodermic syringe, which also serves as the container for dispensable medicaments. The syringe is composed of a minimum numberof parts, simplifying the assembly of the complete device. Furthermore, the functional construction minimizes operational motions required in the dispensation of the medicament. The syringe is also capable of aspiration to ascertain whether or not the cannula thereof is in a vein or blood vessel of the patient.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a hypodermic syringe according to the invention, showing the parts in assembly position;
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the barrel of the syringe;
Fig. 3 is the top plan view of the barrel of the syringe;
Fig. 4 is a cross section of the barrel along line 4 4 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional elevation of the cap;
Fig. 6 is a partial section of the plunger-piston assembly forthe syringe;
Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the plunger-piston;
Fig. 8 is the side elevation of the thumb-rest of the plunger portion of Fig. 6; and
Fig. 9 is an elevation of the syringe, according to the invention, in operative condition.
The syringe illustrated is composed of three main parts, namely a barrel 10, a sealing cap 26 and a piston-plunger 30. The barrel 10 is a hollow cylindrical tube of a polyethylene plastic having an open end 12 and a partially closed end 11. The open end 12 has a short beveled bore 15 smoothly joined to the main bore. The closed end 11 has an axially aligned dispensing or delivery tube or tip 14 integrally attached thereto. The barrel wall extends beyond the end wall 11, forming an axial ange or lip 22. The exterior surface 21 of the dispensing tip is tapered to the dimensions of a Standard Luer taper, (0.160 in. diameter tip tapering at 326 to the larger end) for attaching a hypodermic cannula thereto. The inner surface 17 of the end 11 is concave inwardly, with a central funnel-shaped opening 19 leading to the dispensing tip 14. The bore of the dispensing tip is slightly enlarged at the outer end 24. Integral linger grips 16 extend laterally near the open end of the syringe. A brace 18 provides rigidity for each of the finger grips 16.
In the embodiment described the various parts of the syringe are made of a polyethylene plastic or other plastic or similar properties. Polyethylene is quite flexible and has a high tensile strength. A syringe so made is practically non-breakable, and consequently is able to withstand considerable abuse. Further, polyethylene is very inert toward most medicaments increasing its adaptability for the purpose contemplated. The plastic is readily molded to correct tolerances, and is easily handled for nal assembly.
A cup-shaped polyethylene cap 26 tightly seals the tip 14 when pushed into place thereon. To insure adequate sealing, a plug 28, integral with the bottom of the cap, snugly tits the ared end 24 of the bore of the tip 14. The entire tip 14 is enclosed in the cap, and an additional seal is formed by the tight fitting juncture betweenthe cap ange 27and the syringe lip 22, when thecap` is fully seated in place. t
The piston-plunger, illustrated in Fig. 6, is a one-piece assembly, embodying the piston 32, the plunger, or piston rod, 30 and the thumb-rest 34. The piston comprises a series of flanges 36 spaced apart, and slightly larger in diameter than the bore of the barrel 1l). The center of symmetry of the flanges extend at an acute angle away from the thumb-rest. The peripheral faces of the flanges are parallel to the plunger axis giving a relatively large bearing surface, to effectuate a secure seal against the barrel wall. Any pressure on the face side of the flanges tends to force them backward against the barrel Wall. The face 33 of the piston has approximately the same curvature as face 17 of the end wall 11 of the barrel insuring complete discharge of medicament from the barrel, when the piston is pushed thereagainst. The plunger 30 has three spaced wells 38 therein, leaving a reinforcing web 37. The three wells cut down the thickness of the material throughout the length of the plunger, and the reinforcing web 37 provides suiiicient rigidity to prevent bending of the plunger under high pressure. The arcuate thumb-rest 34 provides a pressure platform on the end of plunger 30.
In filling the syringe, the three parts i. e. the cap, the barrel and the piston-plunger, are first sterilized, and the piston is inserted into the barrel to a depth which will leave the proper volume in the barrel required for the amount of medicament. The medicament is filled into the barrel through the tip via a needle of smaller diameter than the bore ot' tip 14. After the barrel is filled, the piston is moved inwardly until the medicament completely llls the bore of tip 14, if not already full. The cap 26 is then placed on the tip 14 and pushed so that the plug 28 securely seats in the bore 24. ln this position, flange 27 on the cap seats securely in the notch or annular race between lip or skirt 22 and thebottom of the tip 14. The syringe is thus securely sealed at both ends.`
The known polyethylene plastics of today are opaque materials in th1cK section, but translucent in thin section. lt may be desirable to have a small window 2u, rig. 2, `which is a small area of thin section in the side otthe barrel, so that the contents of tue syringe may be observed.
In operation, the cap 26 is pulled o the tip 14 and discarded. A hypodermic cannula is attached to the tip 14, and the completed assembly is then used in the manner of a standard glass syringe. The cannula is inserted into the body of the patient, the plunger withdrawn slightly to ascertain the position of the needle, and the medicament is dispensed by advancing the piston-plunger.
Others may readily adapt the invention for use under various conditions of service, by employing one or more of the novel features disclosed or equivalents thereof. As at present advised with respect to the apparent scope of my invention, I desire to claim the following subject matter.
