Definitions
- the present invention relates to a syringe.
- an outer body and a hollow plunger characterised by an outer body and a hollow plunger, the outer body including a needle mounting portion and the hollow plunger including an end piece, the needle mounting portion and the end piece being arranged to withdraw within the hollow plunger following use of the syringe.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of syringe in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a cross sectional view of the syringe of Figure 1 in a first position
- Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of the syringe of Figure 1 in a second position
- Figure 4 is a cross sectional view of the syringe of Figure 1 in a third position
- Figure 5 is a cross sectional view of the syringe of Figure 1 in a final position.
- a syringe 10 having a substantially cylindrical outer body 12 which is hollow and arranged, in use, to receive a parenteral fluid.
- the outer body 12 has a substantially cylindrical internal wall 13
- the outer body 12 has a first end 14 and a second end 16.
- the outer body 12 is substantially open at the second end 16.
- the outer body 12 includes a needle mounting portion 18 arranged at the first end 14 of the outer body 12.
- the needle mounting portion 18 comprises an annular base portion 20 and a substantially cylindrical receiving portion 22.
- the annular base portion 20 is adjacent the first end 14 of the outer body 12, and acts to partially close the first end 14 of the outer body 12.
- the annular base portion 20 is connected to the inner wall 13 at first end 14 of the outer body portion 12 by a first annular joining portion 24.
- the cylindrical receiving portion 22 extends from the annular base portion 14 in a direction away from the outer body 12.
- a needle 26 extends outwardly from the cylindrical receiving portion 22.
- the cylindrical receiving portion 22 is hollow so as to provide a fluid flow path between the outer body 12 and the needle 26.
- a plunger 28 is arranged to slide within the outer body 12.
- the plunger 28 is
- substantially cylindrical in shape and has a first end 30 which is oriented towards the first end 14 of the outer body 12, and a second end 32 which is oriented away from the first end 14 of the outer body 12.
- the plunger 28 is hollow and includes a recess 34 which extends axially within the plunger 28 from the first end 30.
- the recess 34 is closed at the first end 30 of the plunger by an end piece 36.
- the recess 34 extends along the full length of the plunger 28.
- the end piece 36 comprises an engagement member 38 in the form of a post, and a substantially frusto-conical base portion 40.
- the frusto-conical base portion 40 is connected to the plunger 28 adjacent the first end 30 by an second annular joining portion 42.
- the second annular joining portion 42 is thin relative to the frust-conical base portion 40, and is arranged to sever under the action of a shearing force. Such a force can be provided by the application of a compressive force between the plunger 28 and the end piece 36.
- the engagement member 38 is substantially cylindrical in shape, and is coaxial to the plunger 28 and the syringe 10.
- the engagement member 38 extends from the frusto- conical base portion 40 towards the first end 14 of the outer body 12, and has an external diameter slightly larger than the internal diameter of the receiving portion 22 of the needle mounting potion 18.
- the plunger 28 includes a substantially circular cutting means 44 extending from the first end 30 of the plunger 28 towards the first end 14 of the outer body 12.
- the cutting means 44 is the form of an annular blade, which tapers to a relatively thin, sharp edge remote from the first end 30 of the plunger 28.
- the edge of the cutting means 44 has a diameter similar to that of the first annular joining portion 24.
- the plunger 28 is arranged such that the engagement member 38 extends further than the cutting means 44.
- the plunger 28 further includes a sealing means 46 located adjacent the first end 30 of the plunger 28.
- the sealing means 46 comprises first and second radial extensions 48, 50 and a resilient sealing ring 52.
- the radial extensions 48,50 have an external diameter equal to the diameter of the internal wall 13 of the outer body 12.
- the resilient sealing ring 52 is provided between the first and second radial extensions 48,
- the recess 34 of the plunger 28 is manufactured to contain a relative vacuum therein.
- the outer body 12 of the syringe 10 is then filled with parenteral fluid by known methods, and a patient is injected with the parenteral fluid through the needle 26 by depressing the plunger 28. This is achieve by applying pressure to the second end 32 of the plunger 28 relative to the second end 16 of the outer body 12.
- the engagement member 38 Towards the end of an injection stroke the engagement member 38 is adjacent the receiving portion 22. Further pressure applied to the second end 32 of the causes the engagement member 38 to enter the receiving portion 22. As the engagement member 38 is slightly larger than the receiving portion 22, the engagement member 38 is connected to the receiving portion 22 in a press fit. This situation is shown in Figure 3.
- the sealing means 46 prevents the ingress of air into the recess 34.
- the continued application of pressure to the second end 32 of the plunger 28 causes the cutting means 44 to pierce the first annular joining portion 24, thus separating the needle mounting portion 18 from the outer body 12.
