Definitions

  • Striker ABSTRACT A suction device for extracting poison, particularly snake poison, from wounds which comprises a cylinder having an open end and a hand-operable piston displaceable in the cylinder in opposite directions. With the open end applied to the area directly surrounding the wound and upon movement of the piston in one direction, partial vacuum is created in the cylinder in the region of the open end, as a result of which poison is extracted from the wound and sucked into the cylinder.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for extracting poison from wounds. At present each year about 20,000 people in various parts of the world die as a result of poisoning from snakebites.
  • the apparatus of the invention comprises a cylinder having an open end and a hand-operable piston displaceable in opposite directions. With the open end applied to the area directly surrounding the wound and upon movement of the piston in one direction, partial vacuum is created in the cylinder in the region of the open end, as a result of which poison is extracted from the wound and sucked into the cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a part elevationaland a part sectional view of an apparatus which embodies a first form of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view as seen in the direction of arrows from the line lI--ll of FIG. I;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmental axial sectional view of a modified apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 comprises a cylinder 1 made of a suitable corrosion-resistant material. Mounted in cylinder 1 for reciprocatory movement therein in opposite directions is a piston 2 which, in the embodiment shown, is in the form of a closed hollow cylindrical body. Piston 2 has a transverse diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of cylinder 1 so as to form a close yet slidable fit therewith.
  • Piston 2 may extend entirely within cylinder 1 or, as shown in FIG. 1, may partially protrude through one end In of the cylinder. In the latter case it is preferable that an elastic or plastic sealing element be interposed between the cylinder and the protruding part of the piston.
  • the sealing element used in this preferred embodiment of the invention is in the form of a flexible sleeve 3, the lower end 4 of which resiliently surrounds the protruding piston while the upper end 5 of the sleeve rigidly encloses the cylinder in the lower region thereof.
  • the flexibility of the lower end 4 of the sleeve is such that an airtight but slidable seal is formed between the cylinder and the piston.
  • the former is connected thereto by retaining ribs 6 which are integral with and extend transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. In this manner a positive grip is established between the upper end 5 of the sleeve and the lower region of the cylinder.
  • handgrip means in the form of a piston rod 7 and a handle 8.
  • the cylinder comprises a second open end section lb which forms the suction end of the apparatus.
  • this open end is placed over the wound whereby the rim 1c of the opening rests upon the area directly surrounding the wound.
  • end section lb is provided with a bead-shaped elastic liner 9 which surrounds the opening and is disposed over the rim to more or less ease the contact pressure thereof when the apparatus is applied to the skin.
  • the liner is draped over the rim and includes sections 10 and II which respectively extend inwards and outwards of the cylinder.
  • the inward section 10 of the liner 9 is arranged so that the lower region thereof is formed into an abutment adapted to engage and to terminate displacement of the piston in one direction, which will presently be explained.
  • the piston 2 is arranged to effect a working stroke during which it is drawn from its rest or inoperative position, and a return stroke during which the piston is returned to its rest position, in which position it abuts against abutment 9a, FIG. I.
  • end section lb is applied to the body, in a fashion as explained before, and piston 2 is drawn out by means of piston rod 7 and handle 8. This action creates a partial vacuum in the cylinder in that piston 2 exerts a pull on the wound whereby poison is extracted therefrom and forced into the interior of the cylinder.
  • the former is suitably provided with a marker line or notch 14 disposed on the outer surface of the piston.
  • a one-way valve means in the form of a pressure release valve, is provided in the region of open end lb of the cylinder.
  • This valve is seen to comprise a valve flap l2 and an aperture 13 formed in the wall of the cylinder.
  • Valve flap 12 forms part of liner 9 and is a downward projection thereof at the 0utside of the cylinder and overlies aperture 13 in the rest position of the apparatus and during the working stroke thereof.
  • valves may be provided, that is a number of apertures may be arranged with an equal number of flaps or, as regards the latter, one single flap or projection may be arranged to cover a plurality of air-release vents or apertures.
  • flap 12 which is integral with section 11 of liner 9, is arranged so that it has a higher degree of flexibility than the remainder of liner 9 so as to allow the flap to pivot thereon.
  • the cylinder 1 and piston 2 are shown to have substantially cross sections, however, any other suitable configuration is also feasible.
  • F IG. 3 partially illustrates a further embodiment of the apparatus in which the piston is in the form of a disc 20, integrally fon-ned with piston rod 7.
  • the piston is provided with a first sealing element in the form of piston ring 22, which is made of a flexible material and engages the interior surface 24 of the cylinder to form an airtight seal between the piston and the cylinder.
  • the piston 20 is provided with a second sealing element in the form of lip seal 26, which likewise is made of a flexible material such as rubber or a plastic, and which also engages the interior wall 24 of the cylinder to form a second additional airtight seal between the cylinder and the piston.
  • the apparatus has been described as being intended for extraction of snake poison, it is clear that the apparatus can be used with equal advantage for extraction of other types of poison which enter the body as a result of a bite or as a result of an injury.
  • Apparatus for extracting poison, particularly snake poison, from wounds comprising a hollow cylinder having an open end adapted to be applied to the part of the body that surrounds a wound; a piston mounted in said cylinder for reciprocatory movement in two directions so that said piston creates partial vacuum in the cylinder adjacent to said open end in response to movement in one direction whereby poison is extracted from the wound into the interior of said cylinder; an elastic liner surrounding said open end of said cylinder; and one-way valve means operative to permit escape of air from the interior of the cylinder in the region of said open end in response to movement of said piston toward said open end, said one-way valve means comprising at least one aperture in the wall ofsaid cylinder and a projection forming part of said liner and overlying said aperture at the outside of said cylinder.
  • said liner including an abutment near said open end for engaging said piston and to terminate displacement thereof in the direction of said open end.
