Definitions

  • This invention relates to injection devices. It is concerned with those devices for medical use where a syringe is loaded into a firing mechanism which first thrusts the syringe forwards to project the needle, and then acts on the piston within the syringe to express the dose.
  • an injection device having a housing with a spring drive releasable sequentially firstly to urge a syringe within the housing forwards to project its needle from the forward end of the housing and then to press a piston within the syringe forwards to eject a dose through the needle
  • the spring drive includes a first spring that acts between the housing and a plunger aligned to co-operate with the piston, and a second spring that acts between the plunger and the syringe, the second spring being weaker than the first spring but being sufficiently stiff to be in an expanded state when the syringe reaches its forward position with its needle penetrating the flesh of a patient, whereupon the first spring, as it fully expands, will then compress the second spring to urge the plunger forwards and thereby move the piston and expel the dose within the syring
  • the piston is not acted upon until the needle has penetrated. It is unlikely that the second spring will act directly on the syringe. Instead, the plunger may have a collar siidable lengthwise within limits, and the second spring will bear on the rear side of this collar, while the forward side of the collar co-operates with the syringe.
  • this spring encircles the syringe and acts between a rear flange of the syringe and an internal shoulder of the housing. Although it becomes compressed during the injection process it will not be powerful enough to affect the action of the first and second springs, nor will it cause the syringe to retract after use.
  • the device has a barrel 1 which can house a syringe 2 at its forward end.
  • the syringe is movable axially of the barrel between a position in which its needle 3 is retracted and a position in which that needle projects a set distance.
  • the forward drive for the syringe which first moves the syringe body and then urges its piston forwards to expel the dose, consists of two springs 4 and 5 in tandem.
  • the rear spring 4 is the more powerful and acts between the rear end of the barrel and the head 6 of a mushroom shaped member 7 whose stem
  • a further light spring 11 acts in the rearward direction on the rear flange 12 of the syringe, the spring 11 encircling the syringe body and reacting against an inward shoulder 13 of the barrel 1.
  • the release trigger for the drive spring 4 is not shown for simplicity.
  • the main spring 4 expands, driving the member 7 forwards.
  • the spring 5 is stiff enough and the spring 11 weak enough for the spring 5 to remain expanded, and to thrust the syringe 2 forwards via the collar 9, so that the needle 3 projects from the barrel 1.
  • the spring 4 continues to expand after the syringe has reached its forward position, with the spring 11 fully compressed, so that the stem 8 of the member 7 acts on a bung 14, acting as a piston within the syringe 2, to expel the dose while the spring 5 is caused to be compressed.
  • the spring 5 ensures that the syringe is retained in its forward position during this phase.
