Such a puncture device includes an outer needle, an outer needle hub that holds the outer needle, an inner needle that has a distal end inserted into the outer needle, and a cylindrical inner needle that holds the proximal end portion of the inner needle inside. With a hub.
 具体的には、特許文献1に記載された穿刺具を図50に基づいて説明する。
 この穿刺具100は、図50(A)に示すように、外針102aと外針ハブ102bと、外針102aに先端部が挿入される内針103と、内針103の基端部を内部に保持する筒状の内針ハブ101とを備えている。
Specifically, the puncture device described in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 50A, the puncture device 100 includes an outer needle 102a, an outer needle hub 102b, an inner needle 103 into which a distal end is inserted into the outer needle 102a, and a proximal end portion of the inner needle 103 as an inner portion. And a cylindrical inner needle hub 101 that is held in the cylinder.
 そして、穿刺具100の使用方法について説明すると、図50(A)に示すように、内針ハブ101内にスライドカバー104が収納され、外針102aの先端から内針103の先端103aが突出した状態で、患者の身体110に穿刺(刺針)される。 Then, a method of using the puncture device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 50A, the slide cover 104 is housed in the inner needle hub 101, and the distal end 103a of the inner needle 103 protrudes from the distal end of the outer needle 102a. In the state, the patient's body 110 is punctured (puncture needle).
 その後、外針102aを体内に送った後(図50(B)参照)、外針102aを体内に刺し置いた状態で、内針ハブ101を手元に引っ張ることにより、スライドカバー104が伸長し、内針の先端103aが体内から抜ける(図50(C)参照)。
 そして、更に同方向に内針ハブ101を引っ張ることで、手に触れることなく、内針103の先端103aが同スライドカバー104内に保持される。
Then, after sending the outer needle 102a into the body (see FIG. 50 (B)), the slide cover 104 is extended by pulling the inner needle hub 101 toward the hand with the outer needle 102a stabbed in the body, The tip 103a of the inner needle comes out of the body (see FIG. 50C).
Further, by pulling the inner needle hub 101 in the same direction, the tip 103a of the inner needle 103 is held in the slide cover 104 without touching the hand.
 次いで、斯かる状態で内針ハブ101を周方向に回動させ(図50(D)参照)、スライドカバー104の全体が同方向に回転して先端側のホルダー105が解除される(取り外される)。
 その結果、外針102aのみを体内に留置し、内針103を収容した内針ハブ101を取り外すことができ、内針103をそのまま廃棄することができる(図50(E)参照)。
Next, in this state, the inner needle hub 101 is rotated in the circumferential direction (see FIG. 50D), the entire slide cover 104 rotates in the same direction, and the distal end side holder 105 is released (removed). ).
As a result, only the outer needle 102a can be left in the body, the inner needle hub 101 containing the inner needle 103 can be removed, and the inner needle 103 can be discarded as it is (see FIG. 50E).
 また、特許文献2に記載された穿刺具にあっては、図示しないが、外針を体内に刺し置いた状態で、内針ハブに設けられた押圧片を押すことによって、内針に手を触れることなく、内針を内針ハブの内部に収容することができるように構成されている。 In the puncture device described in Patent Document 2, although not shown, a hand is placed on the inner needle by pressing a pressing piece provided on the inner needle hub with the outer needle stabbed in the body. The inner needle can be accommodated inside the inner needle hub without being touched.

ところで、前記特許文献2に記載された穿刺具にあっては、押圧片を押し忘れると、内針を内針ハブの内部に収容しない状態で廃棄することになり、作業者にとって非常に危険であり、安全性を確保することができない虞があるという技術的課題があった。
これに対して、前記特許文献1に記載された穿刺具にあっては、外針を体内に刺し置いた状態で、内針を内針ハブの内部に収容することができ、安全に作業を行うことができる。
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載された穿刺具にあっては、内針を外針から引抜く動作の際、内針ハブの引抜き動作方向が、斜め方向(内針の延長線上ではない方向)になされた場合、内針ハブ101、スライドカバー104等に曲げ力が加わり、内針ハブ101、スライドカバー104等が座屈(折曲がり)等を起こし、破損する虞がある。そして、内針ハブ101、スライドカバー104等が破損等した場合には、スライドカバー104等から内針3が露出する虞れがあり、作業者にとって非常に危険であり、安全性を確保することができない虞があるという技術的課題があった。
更に、スライドカバー104が内針ハブ101内を摺動するため、摺動抵抗が大きく、力のない使用者には取り扱いが容易でないという技術的課題があった。
By the way, in the puncture device described in Patent Document 2, if the pressing piece is forgotten to be pressed, the inner needle is discarded without being accommodated inside the inner needle hub, which is very dangerous for the operator. There is a technical problem that there is a possibility that safety cannot be ensured.
On the other hand, in the puncture device described in Patent Document 1, the inner needle can be accommodated inside the inner needle hub with the outer needle stabbed in the body, and the work can be performed safely. It can be carried out.
However, in the puncture device described in Patent Document 1, when the inner needle is pulled out from the outer needle, the pulling operation direction of the inner needle hub is in an oblique direction (a direction not on the extension line of the inner needle). If it is made, bending force is applied to the inner needle hub 101, the slide cover 104, etc., and the inner needle hub 101, the slide cover 104, etc. may be buckled (bent) and damaged. If the inner needle hub 101, the slide cover 104, etc. are damaged, the inner needle 3 may be exposed from the slide cover 104, etc., which is very dangerous for the operator and ensures safety. There was a technical problem that there was a risk of failure.
Further, since the slide cover 104 slides in the inner needle hub 101, there is a technical problem that the sliding resistance is large and handling is not easy for a user having no force.
 本発明は、上記技術的課題を解決するためになされたものであり、穿刺具を構成する部品が座屈(折曲がり)等によって破損するのを防止し、安全性を確保するすると共に、力のない使用者も容易に取り扱うことができる穿刺具を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above technical problem, and prevents parts constituting the puncture tool from being damaged by buckling (bending) or the like, ensuring safety, An object of the present invention is to provide a puncture device that can be easily handled even by a user who does not have the problem.
 上記技術的課題を解決するためになされた本発明にかかる穿刺具は、外針と、前記外針の基端部を保持する外針ハブと、前記外針に先端部が挿入される内針と、前記内針の基端部を保持する内針ハブと、内針ハブの内部に進退自在に取り付けられる外筒と、前記外針ハブを把持する把持手段を有すると共に、前記外筒の内部に進退自在に取付けられた内筒とを備え、少なくとも前記外筒が軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されていることを特徴としている。 The puncture device according to the present invention made to solve the above technical problem includes an outer needle, an outer needle hub that holds a proximal end portion of the outer needle, and an inner needle in which a distal end portion is inserted into the outer needle. An inner needle hub that holds the proximal end portion of the inner needle, an outer cylinder that is movably attached to the inner needle hub, and a gripping means that grips the outer needle hub. And at least the outer cylinder is made of a soft synthetic resin material.
このように、少なくとも外筒が軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されているため、前記曲げ力によって外筒は屈曲するが、割れ等の破損を防止することができる。また外筒の破損等が防止される結果、外筒が内針ハブから外れ、内針が露出するという虞れもなく、安全性を確保することができる。 Thus, since at least the outer cylinder is formed of a soft synthetic resin material, the outer cylinder is bent by the bending force, but breakage such as cracking can be prevented. Further, as a result of preventing the outer cylinder from being damaged, there is no fear that the outer cylinder is detached from the inner needle hub and the inner needle is exposed, and safety can be ensured.
 ここで、前記内筒が、軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されていることが望ましい。このように、内筒が軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されている場合には、前記曲げ力による内筒の割れ等の破損を防止することができる。
 また、前記内針ハブが、軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されていることが望ましい。このように、内針ハブが軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されている場合には、前記曲げ力による内針ハブの割れ等の破損を防止することができる。
 尚、前記軟質の合成樹脂材料は、伸び率が100%以上である合成樹脂であることが望ましい。また、前記軟質の合成樹脂材料は、ポリプロピレンであることが望ましい。
Here, it is desirable that the inner cylinder is formed of a soft synthetic resin material. Thus, when the inner cylinder is formed of a soft synthetic resin material, it is possible to prevent damage such as cracking of the inner cylinder due to the bending force.
The inner needle hub is preferably formed of a soft synthetic resin material. Thus, when the inner needle hub is formed of a soft synthetic resin material, it is possible to prevent damage such as cracking of the inner needle hub due to the bending force.
The soft synthetic resin material is preferably a synthetic resin having an elongation percentage of 100% or more. The soft synthetic resin material is preferably polypropylene.
 このように、内筒、外筒、内針ハブについても、ポリプロピレンで形成した場合には、摺動抵抗を少なくすることができるため、内針ハブの引抜き動作を小さな力で行うことができ、力のない使用者でも容易に取り扱うことができる。 As described above, when the inner cylinder, outer cylinder, and inner needle hub are made of polypropylene, the sliding resistance can be reduced, so that the inner needle hub can be pulled out with a small force. Even a weak user can easily handle it.

In other words, when the inner needle 3 is present in the through hole 73, the upright piece 72 </ b> B is raised by the inner needle 3, and the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7 are integrated, and the Drawing from the outer cylinder 6 is restricted.
 また、前記起立片72Bは、前記貫通孔73内から前記内針3が引き抜かれ、内針3による押し出しがなくなると、前記貫通孔73を閉塞するようにして前記内筒7の内部に収納され(復帰し)、前記溝部61との係合が解除される。
 換言すれば、前記起立片72Bは、前記貫通孔73に内針3が存在しない場合には、前記外筒6に係止されないため、外筒6と内筒7とが分離可能となり、前記外筒6から前記内筒7を引抜くことができる。
Further, the upright piece 72B is housed in the inner cylinder 7 so as to close the through hole 73 when the inner needle 3 is pulled out from the through hole 73 and is not pushed out by the inner needle 3. (Reset), the engagement with the groove 61 is released.
In other words, the standing piece 72B is not locked to the outer cylinder 6 when the inner needle 3 is not present in the through-hole 73, so that the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7 can be separated, and the outer The inner cylinder 7 can be extracted from the cylinder 6.
 尚、前記内針ハブ41、および前記外筒6の夫々の端部41a,63には係合部が形成されており、伸長した際、前記端部41a,63に形成された係合部が係止することによって、互いに分離(離間)することのないように構成されている。 The inner needle hub 41 and the end portions 41a and 63 of the outer cylinder 6 are formed with engaging portions, and when extended, the engaging portions formed on the end portions 41a and 63 are formed. By being locked, they are configured not to be separated (separated) from each other.
 次に、このような穿刺具1を使用する場合について説明する。
 まず、図1、図4に示す穿刺具1からプロテクタ5を外し、図2に示すようにカテーテル2および内針3を露出させる。そして、図9に示すように、前記外針21および前記内針3を血管(患者の身体110)に穿刺する。
Next, the case where such a puncture device 1 is used will be described.
First, the protector 5 is removed from the puncture device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the catheter 2 and the inner needle 3 are exposed as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the outer needle 21 and the inner needle 3 are punctured into the blood vessel (the patient's body 110).
 その後、前記外針21を留め置きするために、前記内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って前記外針21から離間する方向に移動させる(引抜動作を行う)。この内針ハブ41の引抜き動作により、前記注射具4は伸長する。 Thereafter, in order to retain the outer needle 21, the inner needle hub 41 is moved along the axial direction in a direction away from the outer needle 21 (withdrawing operation is performed). By the pulling-out operation of the inner needle hub 41, the injection tool 4 is extended.
 具体的には、前記外針21を留置した状態において、前記内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って前記外針21から離間させる(図9に示す矢印方向に引抜動作を行う)と、前記内針ハブ41が軸方向に沿って移動し、前記注射具4は全体として伸長することになる。このとき、外針ハブ22は内筒7によって保持され、内筒7と外筒6は起立片72Bによって一体化している。 Specifically, in a state where the outer needle 21 is indwelled, when the inner needle hub 41 is separated from the outer needle 21 along the axial direction (withdrawing operation in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9), The needle hub 41 moves along the axial direction, and the injection device 4 extends as a whole. At this time, the outer needle hub 22 is held by the inner cylinder 7, and the inner cylinder 7 and the outer cylinder 6 are integrated by the standing piece 72B.
 したがって、内針3の後端部(基端部)を保持する内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って移動すると、内針3も同様に軸方向に沿って移動する。そして、外針21内から引出されることで、引抜き出された内針3が内筒7、外筒6、内針ハブ41内に覆われる(図10参照)。 Therefore, when the inner needle hub 41 holding the rear end portion (base end portion) of the inner needle 3 is moved along the axial direction, the inner needle 3 is similarly moved along the axial direction. And by pulling out from the outer needle 21, the extracted inner needle 3 is covered in the inner cylinder 7, the outer cylinder 6, and the inner needle hub 41 (see FIG. 10).
 更に、前記内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って前記外針21から離間させる。そして、図11に示すように、内針3の先端が起立片72Bを通過すると、起立片72Bは前記内針3の側面から力を受けない状態となり、元の状態に戻り、貫通孔73を閉塞する。
 これにより、内針ハブ41をカテーテル2側に移動させる力が作用しても、内針3は、前記起立片72Bによって移動が規制され、再び外針21内に戻ることはない。
Further, the inner needle hub 41 is separated from the outer needle 21 along the axial direction. As shown in FIG. 11, when the tip of the inner needle 3 passes through the upright piece 72B, the upright piece 72B is not subjected to a force from the side surface of the inner needle 3, returns to the original state, and passes through the through hole 73. Block.
Thereby, even if the force which moves the inner needle hub 41 to the catheter 2 side acts, the movement of the inner needle 3 is regulated by the upright piece 72B and does not return into the outer needle 21 again.
 更に、前記内針3による起立片72Bの押し出しが解除されると、前記外筒6との係止状態が解除される。その結果、外筒6と内筒7が分離可能となり、前記内針ハブ41の移動に伴って、前記外筒6が軸方向に沿って移動することになる。
 このとき、前記溝部61は前記突出部72Aに案内されるため、前記内筒7の突出部72Aに案内されながら、前記外筒6は前記内針ハブ41から引抜き出される。
Further, when the push-out of the upright piece 72B by the inner needle 3 is released, the locked state with the outer cylinder 6 is released. As a result, the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7 can be separated, and the outer cylinder 6 moves along the axial direction as the inner needle hub 41 moves.
At this time, since the groove 61 is guided by the protrusion 72A, the outer cylinder 6 is pulled out from the inner needle hub 41 while being guided by the protrusion 72A of the inner cylinder 7.
 更に、前記内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って前記外針21から離間させ、前記外筒6を移動させ、前記外筒6から前記内筒7が抜出されると、図11に示すように、前記4つのアーム71Aを開いて、前記4つのアーム71Aによる外針ハブ22の保持状態を解放する。
 即ち、前記内針ハブ41を軸方向に沿って前記外針21から離間させて前記注射具4を伸長させることによって、前記カテーテル2から抜出された前記内針3が前記内筒7、外筒6、内針ハブ41の内部に収容されると、前記4つのアーム71Aとアーム開閉部62による外針ハブ22の保持状態から、外針ハブ22を解放する。
Furthermore, when the inner needle hub 41 is moved away from the outer needle 21 along the axial direction, the outer cylinder 6 is moved, and the inner cylinder 7 is extracted from the outer cylinder 6, as shown in FIG. The four arms 71A are opened to release the holding state of the outer needle hub 22 by the four arms 71A.
That is, when the inner needle hub 41 is separated from the outer needle 21 along the axial direction and the injection device 4 is extended, the inner needle 3 extracted from the catheter 2 is moved into the inner cylinder 7 and the outer tube 7. When housed inside the cylinder 6 and the inner needle hub 41, the outer needle hub 22 is released from the state in which the outer needle hub 22 is held by the four arms 71A and the arm opening / closing portion 62.
 これによって、図12に示すように、前記カテーテル2(外針21)を血管に留置しつつ、前記内針3を前記外針21から引抜き出して前記内針ハブ4の内部に収容するとともに、前記外針ハブ22は前記注射具4から取り外される。
 このように、前記穿刺具1は、前記内針3を前記外針21から引抜き動作のみによって、前記内針3を前記内針ハブ4の内部に収容することができ、しかも前記外針ハブ22を前記内針ハブ4から取り外すことができる。
Thereby, as shown in FIG. 12, while the catheter 2 (outer needle 21) is placed in the blood vessel, the inner needle 3 is pulled out from the outer needle 21 and accommodated in the inner needle hub 4, The outer needle hub 22 is removed from the injection tool 4.
Thus, the puncture device 1 can accommodate the inner needle 3 in the inner needle hub 4 only by pulling out the inner needle 3 from the outer needle 21, and the outer needle hub 22. Can be removed from the inner needle hub 4.
 尚、第1の実施形態では、筒状体が前記外筒6、および前記内筒7によって構成されている場合を例にとって説明したが、特にこの構成に限定されるものではなく、例えば、前記内針ハブと外筒、内筒とを延伸する中継筒を備えた穿刺具であっても良い。前記筒状体はカテーテルを把持する把持手段を有し、内針ハブの内部に進退自在に挿入できるように(収容できるように)取り付けられていれば良い。 In the first embodiment, the case where the cylindrical body is configured by the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this configuration. The puncture device may include a relay cylinder that extends the inner needle hub, the outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder. The cylindrical body has a gripping means for gripping the catheter, and may be attached so that it can be inserted into and retracted from the inner needle hub.
 また、第1の実施形態では、把持手段として、前記4つのアーム71Aと、前記アーム開閉部62とによって構成されている場合を例にとって説明したが、特にこの構成に限定されるものではない。前記把持手段は、内針ハブを軸方向に沿って外針から離間させて、注射具を伸長させることによって、外針から引き抜かれた内針が筒状体の内部に収容された際、外針ハブを解放することができるように構成されていれば良い。 In the first embodiment, the case where the gripping means is configured by the four arms 71A and the arm opening / closing unit 62 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this configuration. When the inner needle pulled out from the outer needle is accommodated inside the cylindrical body by separating the inner needle hub from the outer needle along the axial direction and extending the injection tool, the gripping means What is necessary is just to be comprised so that a needle hub can be released.
 このように、上記した第1の実施形態にあっては、外針と、前記外針の基端部を保持する外針ハブと、前記外針に先端部が挿入される内針と、前記内針の基端部を保持する筒状の注射具とを備える穿刺具であって、前記注射具は、前記内針の基端部を保持する内針ハブと、前記外針ハブを把持する把持手段を有すると共に、前記内針ハブの内部に進退自在に取付けられた筒状体と、を備え、前記内針ハブを軸方向に沿って前記外針から離間させて、前記注射具を伸長させることによって、前記外針から引抜かれた前記内針が、前記内針ハブの内部、あるいは内針ハブの内部と筒状体内部に収容されると共に、前記把持手段が前記外針ハブを解放し、前記外針ハブが前記内針ハブから取り外されることを特徴としている。 Thus, in the above-described first embodiment, the outer needle, the outer needle hub that holds the proximal end portion of the outer needle, the inner needle in which the distal end portion is inserted into the outer needle, A puncture device comprising a cylindrical injection tool for holding a proximal end portion of an inner needle, wherein the injection tool grips an inner needle hub for holding the proximal end portion of the inner needle and the outer needle hub. A cylindrical body having a gripping means and movably attached to the inside of the inner needle hub, and extending the injection device by separating the inner needle hub from the outer needle along the axial direction. As a result, the inner needle pulled out from the outer needle is accommodated in the inner needle hub or in the inner needle hub and the cylindrical body, and the gripping means releases the outer needle hub. The outer needle hub is detached from the inner needle hub.
 このような構成によれば、内針ハブを軸方向に沿って離間させて(引抜き)、注射具を伸長させることによって、外針から引き抜かれた内針は内針ハブの内部に収容され、また把持手段は、外針ハブの把持を解除(解放)する。
 したがって、内針を外針から引抜く動作のみによって、外針ハブを内針ハブから取り外すことができ、患者に対して苦痛を与える等の虞がなく、スムーズな取り外しを容易に行うことができる。また、内針を内針ハブの内部に必ず収容されるため、作業者の安全性を確保することができる。
According to such a configuration, by separating the inner needle hub along the axial direction (withdrawal) and extending the injection tool, the inner needle withdrawn from the outer needle is accommodated in the inner needle hub, The gripping means releases (releases) gripping of the outer needle hub.
Therefore, the outer needle hub can be removed from the inner needle hub only by the operation of pulling the inner needle out of the outer needle, and there is no risk of causing pain to the patient, and smooth removal can be easily performed. . Further, since the inner needle is always accommodated in the inner needle hub, the safety of the operator can be ensured.
 ここで、前記筒状体は、前記内針ハブの内部に進退自在に取り付けられる外筒と、前記外針ハブを把持する複数のアームを有し、前記外筒の内部に進退自在に取付けられた内筒と、を備え、前記外筒は、前記外筒内部に前記内筒が収容され、あるいは前記外筒内部から引抜かれることにより、前記複数のアームの開閉が行われるアーム開閉部を有し、前記内筒には、前記内針が挿通する貫通孔と、前記貫通孔の前記内針によって押出されて起立し、外筒に係止される起立片と、前記アーム開閉部により開閉するカテーテルを把持する複数のアームと、を有し、前記内針ハブを軸方向に沿って前記外針から離間させて、前記内針を引抜くことにより、前記起立片による外筒と内筒の係止状態が解除され、前記外筒のアーム開閉部を内筒に対して移動させ、外針ハブを把持する複数のアームを開放することによって、前記外針ハブが前記内針ハブから取り外されることが望ましい。 Here, the cylindrical body has an outer cylinder that is movably attached to the inside of the inner needle hub, and a plurality of arms that grip the outer needle hub, and is attached to the inside of the outer cylinder so as to be able to advance and retract. The outer cylinder has an arm opening / closing part that opens and closes the plurality of arms by accommodating the inner cylinder inside the outer cylinder or by being pulled out of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is opened and closed by a through hole through which the inner needle is inserted, an upright piece that is pushed out by the inner needle of the through hole and is locked to the outer cylinder, and the arm opening / closing portion. A plurality of arms for gripping the catheter, and by separating the inner needle hub from the outer needle along the axial direction and pulling out the inner needle, The locked state is released, and the arm opening / closing part of the outer cylinder is connected to the inner cylinder. The moved, by opening a plurality of arms for gripping the outer needle hub, it is desirable that the outer needle hub is removed from the inner needle hub.
 このように、内針ハブを軸方向に沿って前記外針から離間させる方向に、前記内針を引抜くことにより、前記起立片による外筒と内筒の係止状態が解除され、前記外筒のアーム開閉部を内筒に対して移動させることができる。そして、前記外筒を内筒に対して移動させることにより、複数のアームによる外針ハブの把持状態を解放し、前記外針ハブは前記内針ハブから取り外される。
 即ち、内針を外針から引抜く動作のみによって、内針を内針ハブの内部に収容することができ、しかも外針ハブを内針ハブから取り外すことができる。
Thus, by pulling out the inner needle in the direction of separating the inner needle hub from the outer needle along the axial direction, the locked state of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder by the standing piece is released, and the outer The arm opening / closing part of the cylinder can be moved with respect to the inner cylinder. Then, by moving the outer cylinder relative to the inner cylinder, the gripping state of the outer needle hub by a plurality of arms is released, and the outer needle hub is removed from the inner needle hub.
That is, the inner needle can be accommodated in the inner needle hub only by pulling the inner needle out of the outer needle, and the outer needle hub can be removed from the inner needle hub.
 また、前記外筒の周面に前記外筒の軸線に沿って溝部が形成されると共に、前記内筒の外周面には前記溝部内に収容される突出部が形成され、前記溝部及び突出部によって、前記内筒に対する外筒の進退方向が規制されることが望ましい。
 この場合には、溝部と、突出部とによって、内筒に対する外筒の進退方向は規制されるので、内針ハブ本体を軸方向に沿って外針から離間させる方向に引抜くことができる。
In addition, a groove portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder along the axis of the outer cylinder, and a protrusion portion accommodated in the groove portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder. Therefore, it is desirable that the forward / backward direction of the outer cylinder with respect to the inner cylinder is restricted.
In this case, the advancing and retreating direction of the outer cylinder with respect to the inner cylinder is regulated by the groove and the protrusion, and therefore the inner needle hub body can be pulled out in the direction away from the outer needle along the axial direction.
 また、前記起立片による外筒と内筒の係止状態が解除され、前記内針の先端が起立片を通過して引き抜かれた際、前記起立片が内針の貫通孔を閉塞することが望ましい。
 この場合には、内針が筒状体の内部に一度収容されると、内針の外針側への進路(内針の貫通孔)は起立片にて閉塞されるので、内針は筒状体の外部に再び飛び出すことはない。したがって、内針を内針ハブの内部に確実に収納することができる。
Further, when the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are unlocked by the standing piece and the tip of the inner needle is pulled out through the standing piece, the standing piece may block the through hole of the inner needle. desirable.
In this case, once the inner needle is accommodated in the cylindrical body, the path to the outer needle side of the inner needle (through hole of the inner needle) is closed by the standing piece, so the inner needle is It will not jump out of the body again. Therefore, the inner needle can be securely stored in the inner needle hub.
 以上のように、この実施形態によれば、内針を外針から引抜く動作のみによって、内針を内針ハブの内部に収容することができると共に、外針ハブを内針ハブから取り外すことができる穿刺具を得ることができる。 As described above, according to this embodiment, the inner needle can be accommodated in the inner needle hub only by pulling the inner needle from the outer needle, and the outer needle hub can be removed from the inner needle hub. It is possible to obtain a puncture device that can be used.
(第2の実施形態)
次に、第2の実施形態について、図13乃至図16に基づいて説明する。尚、第1の実施形態の部材と同様な部材は、同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。
 この実施形態は上記した第1の実施形態を改良したものであり、外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)がプロテクタ5の内部で移動する(ガタつく)のを防止するものである。
 それにより、外針ハブ22がプロテクタ5の内部で移動する(ガタつく)ことにより、図13に点線で示すように、外針21が内針2の先端を覆うことにより、穿刺することができない、あるいは外針ハブ22が内筒7から脱落して穿刺することができないという課題を解決することができる。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIGS. Note that the same members as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
This embodiment is an improvement of the first embodiment described above, and prevents the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) from moving (backlashing) inside the protector 5.
As a result, the outer needle hub 22 moves inside the protector 5 (backlash), so that the outer needle 21 covers the tip of the inner needle 2 as shown by the dotted line in FIG. Alternatively, the problem that the outer needle hub 22 cannot be removed from the inner cylinder 7 and punctured can be solved.
図13に示すように、カテーテル2および前記内針3を覆うプロテクタ5は、内針ハブ41の外周面と嵌合することによって取付けられ、その際、外筒6のアーム開閉部62の外周部の端部もプロテクタ5の内周面と圧接している。また、外針ハブ22は内筒7のアーム71Aに保持され、アーム71Aが外筒6のアーム開閉部62のガイド溝62Aに圧接している。 As shown in FIG. 13, the protector 5 covering the catheter 2 and the inner needle 3 is attached by fitting with the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41, and at this time, the outer peripheral portion of the arm opening / closing portion 62 of the outer cylinder 6. Is also in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5. The outer needle hub 22 is held by the arm 71A of the inner cylinder 7, and the arm 71A is in pressure contact with the guide groove 62A of the arm opening / closing part 62 of the outer cylinder 6.
この第2の実施形態は、図14~図16に示すように、プロテクタ5の内周面に、内針ハブ41の外周面と圧接する接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dを設けた点に特徴がある。
この接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dは、プロテクタ5の内周面に突出すると共に、プロテクタ5の軸線に沿って、前記軸線と平行に延設されている。前記接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dは、複数形成されていれば良く、例えば、図示されているように、4個設けられているのが好ましい。また、この接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dは外筒6のアーム開閉部62外周面に接しないのが好ましいが、接したとしても圧接しない方が好ましい。
尚、内針ハブ41の外周面と接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dとの圧接力は、内針ハブ41の外周面と接触部接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dとの摺動抵抗(引抜き力)を考慮して、接触部の幅、長さ、個数等が設定される。
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 is provided with contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D that come into pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41. There are features.
The contact portions 5 </ b> A, 5 </ b> B, 5 </ b> C, and 5 </ b> D protrude from the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 and extend along the axis of the protector 5 in parallel with the axis. The contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D may be formed in a plurality. For example, it is preferable that four contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D are provided as illustrated. Further, the contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D are preferably not in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the arm opening / closing portion 62 of the outer cylinder 6, but are preferably not in pressure contact even if they are in contact.
The pressure contact force between the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41 and the contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D is the sliding resistance between the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41 and the contact portion contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D ( The width, length, number, etc. of the contact portions are set in consideration of the pulling force.
また、プロテクタ5の先端部の内周面に、軸線方向に延設された外針ハブ係止部5Eが設けられている。この外針ハブ係止部5Eは円筒形状に形成され、中心部に設けられた空間部5F内に前記内針3の先端が位置すると共に、前記外針ハブ係止部5Eの端部が外針ハブ22に当接するように構成されている。 An outer needle hub locking portion 5 </ b> E extending in the axial direction is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tip portion of the protector 5. The outer needle hub locking portion 5E is formed in a cylindrical shape, the tip of the inner needle 3 is located in a space portion 5F provided at the center, and the end of the outer needle hub locking portion 5E is external. The needle hub 22 is configured to abut.
即ち、図14に示すように、プロテクタ5がカテーテル2および前記内針3を覆った状態(プロテクタ5の装着状態)にあっては、内針ハブ41の外周面とプロテクタ5の接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dが圧接(嵌合)し、外針ハブ22は外針ハブ係止部5Eに当接する。
そのため、プロテクタ5の装着状態にあっては、外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)の前方への移動は外針ハブ係止部5Eによって阻止され、外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)の後方への移動はプロテクタ5に嵌合した内針ハブ41によって阻止される。
その結果、カテーテル2は固定された状態になされ、カテーテル2の移動は阻止される。
That is, as shown in FIG. 14, when the protector 5 covers the catheter 2 and the inner needle 3 (when the protector 5 is attached), the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41 and the contact portion 5A of the protector 5 5B, 5C, and 5D are press-contacted (fitted), and the outer needle hub 22 contacts the outer needle hub locking portion 5E.
Therefore, when the protector 5 is mounted, the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) is prevented from moving forward by the outer needle hub locking portion 5E, and the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) is moved rearward. Is blocked by the inner needle hub 41 fitted to the protector 5.
As a result, the catheter 2 is fixed and movement of the catheter 2 is prevented.
そして、前記プロテクタ5を取り外す際(図13のX方向に移動させた際)、前記接触部5A,5B,5C,5Dは、外筒6のアーム開閉部62に接しないか、あるいは接したとしても圧接していないため、プロテクタ5が移動しても、外筒6のアーム開閉部62がX方向に移動することはなく、その位置に留まる。
その結果、前記プロテクタ5を取り外した場合においても、内針3に対して外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)は移動しないため、外針21が内針3の先端よりも前方に移動し、内針3の先端を覆う等の弊害を防止することができる。
When the protector 5 is removed (when moved in the X direction in FIG. 13), the contact portions 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D are not in contact with or in contact with the arm opening / closing portion 62 of the outer cylinder 6. Therefore, even if the protector 5 moves, the arm opening / closing part 62 of the outer cylinder 6 does not move in the X direction and remains in that position.
As a result, even when the protector 5 is removed, the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) does not move relative to the inner needle 3, so the outer needle 21 moves forward from the tip of the inner needle 3, and the inner needle It is possible to prevent adverse effects such as covering the tip of 3.
(第3の実施形態)
次に、第3の実施形態について、図17、図18、図19に基づいて説明する。尚、第1、第2の実施形態の部材と同様な部材は、同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。
この第3の実施形態は上記した第2の実施形態を更に改良したものであり、前記内針ハブと外筒との間に内筒を延伸する中継筒を設け、外針から内針ハブをより延伸できるように構成したものである。
(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described based on FIG. 17, FIG. 18, and FIG. Note that members similar to those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
This third embodiment is a further improvement of the above-described second embodiment. A relay cylinder is provided between the inner needle hub and the outer cylinder to extend the inner cylinder, and the inner needle hub is removed from the outer needle. It is configured so that it can be stretched more.
図17、図18に示すように、前記内針ハブ41と外筒6との間に、外筒6を延伸する中継筒8が設けられている。この中継筒8は円筒形状に形成され、前記内針ハブ41の内部に収納可能な外径寸法を有すると共に、外筒6を内部に収容可能な内径寸法を有している。この中継筒8の一端には係止部8aが形成され、外筒6の端部63に形成された係止部に係止されるように構成されている。またこの中継筒8の他端には係止部8bが形成され、内針ハブ41の端部41aに形成された係止部に係止されるように構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, a relay cylinder 8 that extends the outer cylinder 6 is provided between the inner needle hub 41 and the outer cylinder 6. The relay cylinder 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape, has an outer diameter dimension that can be accommodated in the inner needle hub 41, and an inner diameter dimension that can accommodate the outer cylinder 6 therein. A latching portion 8 a is formed at one end of the relay cylinder 8 and is configured to be latched by a latching portion formed at the end 63 of the outer cylinder 6. Further, a locking portion 8b is formed at the other end of the relay cylinder 8, and is configured to be locked to a locking portion formed at the end portion 41a of the inner needle hub 41.
更に、前記中継筒8の外周面には、中継筒8の中心軸線と平行に縦長の開口部8cが形成されている。また前記開口部8cは中継筒8の周方向に4個形成されている。
このように、前記中継筒8の外周面に開口部8cが形成されることにより、中継筒8に柔軟性が付与されるため、内針ハブ41の引抜き動作方向が、斜め方向(内針3の延長線上ではない方向)になされ、中継筒8に曲げ力が加わった場合にも、中継筒8が座屈する等により破損するのを防止することができる。
Further, a vertically long opening 8 c is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the relay cylinder 8 in parallel with the central axis of the relay cylinder 8. Four openings 8 c are formed in the circumferential direction of the relay cylinder 8.
In this way, since the opening 8c is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the relay cylinder 8, the relay cylinder 8 is provided with flexibility, so that the pulling operation direction of the inner needle hub 41 is an oblique direction (inner needle 3 Even when a bending force is applied to the relay cylinder 8, it is possible to prevent the relay cylinder 8 from being damaged due to buckling or the like.
このように、この第3の実施形態にあっては、図19に示すように、外針21(カテーテル2)から内針ハブ4をより延伸できると共に、内針ハブ41の引抜き動作方向が内針3の延長線上になく、中継筒8に曲げ力が加わった場合にも、中継筒8が座屈等により破損するのを防止することができる。 As described above, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the inner needle hub 4 can be further extended from the outer needle 21 (catheter 2), and the inner needle hub 41 can be pulled out in the direction in which the inner needle hub 41 is pulled out. Even when a bending force is applied to the relay cylinder 8 that is not on the extension line of the needle 3, the relay cylinder 8 can be prevented from being damaged due to buckling or the like.

次に、第4の実施形態について、図20、図21に基づいて説明する。尚、第1の実施形態の部材と同様な部材は、同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。
(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the same members as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
前記した第1の実施形態において、内針ハブ41の引抜き動作方向が、斜め方向(内針3の延長線上ではない方向)になされた場合、外筒6(外筒6の軸部64)に曲げ力が加わる。そのため、外筒6を硬質の合成樹脂材料等で形成した場合、その曲げ力に耐えることができず、外筒6の軸部64が座屈(折曲がり)等を起こし、破損する虞がある。
また、外筒6の軸部64が座屈(折曲がり)等を起こし、破損等した場合、外筒6が内針ハブ41から外れ、内針3が露出する虞れがある。
In the first embodiment described above, when the pulling operation direction of the inner needle hub 41 is an oblique direction (a direction not on the extension line of the inner needle 3), the outer cylinder 6 (the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6) Bending force is applied. Therefore, when the outer cylinder 6 is formed of a hard synthetic resin material or the like, the bending force cannot be withstood, and the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6 may be buckled (bent) or damaged. .
Further, when the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6 is buckled (bent) or the like and is damaged, the outer cylinder 6 may come off from the inner needle hub 41 and the inner needle 3 may be exposed.
この第4の実施形態は、前記第1の実施形態を改良したものであり、少なくとも外筒6をポリプロピレン等の軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成された点に特徴がある。
具体的には、図20,21に示すように、内針ハブ41の引抜き動作方向が、内針3の延長線上から角度θずれると、外筒6の軸部64に曲げ力が作用する。
このとき、外筒6はポリプロピレン等の軟質の合成樹脂材料によって形成されているため、前記曲げ力によって外筒6の軸部64は屈曲するが、割れ等の破損を防止することができる。また外筒6の軸部64の破損等が防止される結果、外筒6が内針ハブ41から外れ、内針3が露出する虞れもない。
尚、外筒6を形成する軟質の合成樹脂材料は、JIS K7113(プラスチックの試験方法)によって、伸び率が200%以上の伸び率を有しているのが好ましい。具体的には、ポリプロピレンが好ましい。
The fourth embodiment is an improvement of the first embodiment, and is characterized in that at least the outer cylinder 6 is formed of a soft synthetic resin material such as polypropylene.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when the pulling operation direction of the inner needle hub 41 is shifted by an angle θ from the extension line of the inner needle 3, a bending force acts on the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6.
At this time, since the outer cylinder 6 is formed of a soft synthetic resin material such as polypropylene, the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6 is bent by the bending force, but breakage such as cracking can be prevented. Further, as a result of preventing the shaft portion 64 of the outer cylinder 6 from being damaged, there is no possibility that the outer cylinder 6 is detached from the inner needle hub 41 and the inner needle 3 is exposed.
In addition, it is preferable that the soft synthetic resin material which forms the outer cylinder 6 has an elongation rate of 200% or more according to JIS K7113 (plastic testing method). Specifically, polypropylene is preferable.
また、上記実施形態では、外筒6を軟質の合成樹脂材料で形成する場合について説明したが、内針3以外の他の部品、具体的には、内針ハブ41、内筒6、外針ハブ22、外針21についても、ポリプロピレン等の軟質の合成樹脂材料で形成するのが好ましい。
このように、内筒6、外筒7、内針ハブ41についても、ポリプロピレン等の軟質の合成樹脂材料で形成した場合には、摺動抵抗を少なくすることができ、力のない使用者でも容易に取り扱うことができる。具体的には、ポリプロピレンを用いた場合には、内針ハブ41の引抜き動作を0.8N(ニュートン)未満の力で行うことができる。
In the above embodiment, the case where the outer cylinder 6 is formed of a soft synthetic resin material has been described. However, other parts than the inner needle 3, specifically, the inner needle hub 41, the inner cylinder 6, and the outer needle. The hub 22 and the outer needle 21 are also preferably formed of a soft synthetic resin material such as polypropylene.
As described above, when the inner cylinder 6, the outer cylinder 7, and the inner needle hub 41 are formed of a soft synthetic resin material such as polypropylene, the sliding resistance can be reduced, and even a user without power It can be handled easily. Specifically, when polypropylene is used, the inner needle hub 41 can be pulled out with a force of less than 0.8 N (Newton).
尚、第3の実施形態において説明した中継筒8をポリプロピレン等の軟質の合成樹脂材料で形成しても良い。この場合、第3の実施形態において説明した開口部8cは必ずしも形成する必要はない。 Note that the relay cylinder 8 described in the third embodiment may be formed of a soft synthetic resin material such as polypropylene. In this case, the opening 8c described in the third embodiment is not necessarily formed.

しかしながら、使用者によっては、円柱形状の内針ハブ本体41の外周面を持っての穿刺動作が行い難いという指摘がなされている。
As shown in FIG. 22, the inner needle hub 41 is formed in a cylindrical shape. Therefore, when the protector 5 is removed from the puncture device 1 and the outer needle 21 and the inner needle 3 are punctured into the blood vessel (the patient's body 110), the cylindrical inner needle hub body 41 is used.
However, it has been pointed out that depending on the user, it is difficult to perform the puncturing operation with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical inner needle hub body 41.
この第5の実施形態は、図22、図23に示すように、円柱形状の内針ハブ41の先端部外周面に、前記内針ハブ41の中心軸線と平行に把持する把持部9が形成されている。この把持部9は、内針ハブ41の先端部外周面からカテーテル2(外針21)方向に延設され、前記把持部9の先端部は、外筒6(アーム開閉部62)の先端部と対応する位置に形成されている。 In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, a grip portion 9 that grips in parallel with the central axis of the inner needle hub 41 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the cylindrical inner needle hub 41.

And corresponding positions.
また、内針ハブ41にプロテクタ5を装着した際、前記把持部9とプロテクタ5の衝突を避けるため、前記プロテクタ5には開口部5Gが設けられている。この開口部5Gは、内針ハブ41の挿入端側(外針ハブ係止部5Eと反対端部側)から外針ハブ係止部5E側に延設されている。
したがって、内針ハブ41にプロテクタ5を装着する場合にも、把持部9に干渉することなく、内針ハブ41にプロテクタ5を装着することができる。
Further, when the protector 5 is mounted on the inner needle hub 41, the protector 5 is provided with an opening 5G in order to avoid collision between the grip portion 9 and the protector 5. The opening 5G extends from the insertion end side (the end side opposite to the outer needle hub locking portion 5E) of the inner needle hub 41 to the outer needle hub locking portion 5E side.
Therefore, even when the protector 5 is attached to the inner needle hub 41, the protector 5 can be attached to the inner needle hub 41 without interfering with the grip portion 9.
このように構成された、第5の実施形態にあっては、使用者は、前記把持部9を把持することにより、内針ハブ41を持って穿刺動作を行う場合に比べて、より内針3(外針21)に近いところを持って穿刺動作を行うことができ、より適切な穿刺を行うことができる。 In the fifth embodiment configured as described above, the user can grasp the grip portion 9 and thereby perform the inner needle more than when performing the puncturing operation with the inner needle hub 41. 3 (outer needle 21) can be held close to the puncturing operation, and more appropriate puncturing can be performed.

 この押え突起41fの下面41f1は、図30に示すように、左右対称に配置された一対のリブ状突起41eのうち、上側のリブ状突起41eの下面41e1の延長線上に配置されている。
 即ち、前記リブ状突起41eと押え突起41fにより、プロテクタ5に形成され被ガイド突起5h,5iを確実に保持するように構成されている。
Further, on the rear side of the rib-shaped protrusion 41e formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b (on the inner needle proximal end side from the rib-shaped protrusion 41e), it is parallel to the axis along the axis of the inner needle hub 41. An extended presser protrusion 41fc is provided.
As shown in FIG. 30, the lower surface 41f1 of the presser protrusion 41f is disposed on an extension line of the lower surface 41e1 of the upper rib-shaped protrusion 41e among the pair of rib-shaped protrusions 41e disposed symmetrically.
That is, the rib-like protrusion 41e and the pressing protrusion 41f are configured to securely hold the guided protrusions 5h and 5i formed on the protector 5.
 また、前記プロテクタ5は、図32乃至図34に示すように、前記外針21を収容する円筒状の外針ハブ係止部5aと、前記外針ハブ係止部5aから軸線方向に延設されてプロテクタの上面及び側面を形成すると共に、前記外針ハブ係止部反対端部及び下面に開口部5c1,5c2を有する本体部5bを備えている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, the protector 5 includes a cylindrical outer needle hub locking portion 5a for accommodating the outer needle 21, and an axial direction extending from the outer needle hub locking portion 5a. The main body 5b having openings 5c1 and 5c2 on the opposite end and the lower surface of the outer needle hub locking portion is formed.
 前記外針ハブ係止部5aは、プロテクタ5の先端部の内周面に円筒状に突出して形成され、この内部の空間5a1内に前記内針3の先端が位置すると共に、前記外針ハブ係止部5aの端部5a2が外針ハブ22に当接するように構成されている。 The outer needle hub locking portion 5a is formed in a cylindrical shape on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the protector 5, and the distal end of the inner needle 3 is located in the inner space 5a1, and the outer needle hub The end portion 5 a 2 of the locking portion 5 a is configured to contact the outer needle hub 22.

 尚、前記リブ状フレーム5d及びリブ状フレーム5dの延設部5d1が、本体部5bに設けられることにより、開口部5c1,5c2が形成されたプロテクタ5の機械的強度を増大させることができ、プロテクタ5の変形を抑制することができる。
Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion on the opposite end side of the outer needle hub locking portion 5a, an arc-shaped (as viewed from the cylindrical portion 5a side) rib shape extending on both the left and right sides of the main body portion 5b. A frame 5d is formed. The rib-like frame 5d is provided with an extending portion 5d1 extending from the left and right sides of the main body portion 5b toward the outer needle hub locking portion 5a.
Further, the arc-shaped rib-shaped frame 5d has a predetermined height h (dimension) so that the user can remove the protector 5 by placing his / her finger.
The rib-shaped frame 5d and the extending portion 5d1 of the rib-shaped frame 5d are provided in the main body 5b, whereby the mechanical strength of the protector 5 in which the openings 5c1 and 5c2 are formed can be increased. Deformation of the protector 5 can be suppressed.
 また、プロテクタ5の内周面には、その周方向に被係止突起5eが形成されている。
前記内針ハブ41にプロテクタ5装着する際、前記嵌合部41b外周面に形成されたリブ状突起41eを前記係止突起5eが乗り越えることによって、プロテクタ5の係止突起5eがリブ状突起41eに係止され、プロテクタ5は内針ハブ41(嵌合部41a)に固定される。
Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5, a locked projection 5 e is formed in the circumferential direction.
When the protector 5 is attached to the inner needle hub 41, the locking projection 5e of the protector 5 moves over the rib-shaped projection 41e formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b, so that the locking projection 5e of the protector 5 becomes the rib-shaped projection 41e. The protector 5 is fixed to the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41a).
 また、プロテクタ5の内周面には、その内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bの外周面と圧接する接触部5f,5gが設けられている。
この接触部5f,5gは、第2の実施形態で示した接触部5A~5Dと同様な構成を有している。具体的には、この接触部5f,5gは、プロテクタ5の内周面に突出すると共に、プロテクタ5の軸線に沿って、前記軸線と平行に延設されている。前記接触部5f,5gは、複数形成されていれば良く、前記嵌合部41bの外周面と接触部5f,5gとの圧接力は、前記嵌合部41bの外周面と接触部5f,5gとの摺動抵抗(引抜き力)を考慮して、接触部の幅、長さ、個数等が設定される。
Further, contact portions 5 f and 5 g that are in pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41 b of the inner needle hub 41 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5.
The contact portions 5f and 5g have the same configuration as the contact portions 5A to 5D shown in the second embodiment. Specifically, the contact portions 5 f and 5 g protrude from the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 and extend along the axis of the protector 5 in parallel with the axis. The contact portions 5f and 5g only need to be formed in plural, and the pressure contact force between the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b and the contact portions 5f and 5g is equal to the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b and the contact portions 5f and 5g. In consideration of the sliding resistance (pull-out force), the width, length, number, etc. of the contact portions are set.
 ところで、適切な前記摺動抵抗(引抜き力)が設定されていない場合、例えば、内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bの外周面が本体部5bの内周面全体と接し、前記摺動抵抗が大きい場合には、使用者が力を入れてプロテクタを取り外した瞬間、力あまって、自己又は他人に対して内針を刺してしまう虞があり、一方、前記摺動抵抗(引抜き力)が小さいときには、プロテクタ5が内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bから脱落する虞がある。
 上記したようにプロテクタ5の内周面に接触部5f,5gを設け、接触部の幅、長さ、個数等を適宜設定することにより、適切な前記摺動抵抗力(引抜き力)を得ることができ、安全性を確保することができる。
By the way, when the appropriate sliding resistance (pulling force) is not set, for example, the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41 is in contact with the entire inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 5b, and the sliding resistance is If it is large, the moment the user applies force and removes the protector, there is a risk that the force will be applied and the inner needle may be stabbed against itself or another person, while the sliding resistance (pull-out force) is small. Sometimes, the protector 5 may fall off from the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41.
As described above, by providing the contact portions 5f and 5g on the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 and appropriately setting the width, length, number, etc. of the contact portions, an appropriate sliding resistance force (drawing force) can be obtained. And safety can be ensured.
 また、プロテクタ5の内周面には、前記接触部5f,5gと平行(本体部5の軸線に沿って前記軸線に平行)に、プロテクタ5の内周面から突出したリブ状の突起である被ガイド部5h,5iが設けられている。
 この被ガイド部5h,5iは、プロテクタ5を装着する際には、前記一対のリブ状突起41eの間を挿通し、前記リブ状突起41eに案内される。そのため、被ガイド部5h,5iの厚さ寸法は、一対のリブ状突起41eの間隔tよりも小さく形成されている。
Further, the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 is a rib-like protrusion protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the protector 5 in parallel with the contact portions 5f and 5g (parallel to the axis along the axis of the main body 5). Guided portions 5h and 5i are provided.
When the protector 5 is mounted, the guided portions 5h and 5i are inserted between the pair of rib-shaped protrusions 41e and guided to the rib-shaped protrusion 41e. Therefore, the thickness dimensions of the guided portions 5h and 5i are formed to be smaller than the interval t between the pair of rib-like protrusions 41e.
 そして、一対のリブ状突起41eの間を挿通し、案内された被ガイド部5h,5iの上面は、前記内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bに設けられた押え突起41fの下面と接する(図31参照)。
 このように、前記被ガイド部5h,5iが、一対のリブ状突起41eおよび押え突起41fによって、保持されるため、プロテクタ5のガタつきを防止することができる。
The upper surfaces of the guided portions 5h and 5i inserted through the pair of rib-like projections 41e are in contact with the lower surface of the presser projection 41f provided on the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41 (see FIG. 31).
As described above, the guided portions 5h and 5i are held by the pair of rib-like protrusions 41e and the pressing protrusions 41f, so that the protector 5 can be prevented from rattling.
 特に、プロテクタ5の下面の開口部5c2側は機械的な強度が弱いため、プロテクタ5を内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bに装着した際、プロテクタ5が開口部5c2側への傾く(変形する)虞がある。
 この押え突起41fによって、前記被ガイド部5h,5iを押えることにより、プロテクタ5開口部側への傾き(変形)を抑制することができる。
In particular, since the mechanical strength of the opening 5c2 side on the lower surface of the protector 5 is weak, when the protector 5 is attached to the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41, the protector 5 is inclined (deformed) toward the opening 5c2 side. There is a risk.
By pressing the guided portions 5h and 5i with the pressing protrusion 41f, the inclination (deformation) toward the opening of the protector 5 can be suppressed.
 このようなプロテクタ5を装着する際には、図35に示すように、プロテクタ5の下面側の開口部5c2に一対の翼22Aが配置された状態とし、プロテクタ5をX方向(注射具4側)に移動させ、被ガイド部5e,5fを前記一対のリブ状突起41eの間を挿通させると、被ガイド部5h,5iは、リブ状突起41eに案内されながらに移動する。また接触部5f、5gは、内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bの外周面に圧接しながら移動する。
 そして、プロテクタ5の被係止突起5eが、内針ハブ41の嵌合部41b外周面に形成されたリブ状突起41eを乗り越えることによって、プロテクタ5の被係止突起5gがリブ状突起41eに係止され、プロテクタ5は内針ハブ41(嵌合部41a)に固定される。
When such a protector 5 is mounted, as shown in FIG. 35, the pair of wings 22A are arranged in the opening 5c2 on the lower surface side of the protector 5, and the protector 5 is placed in the X direction (on the injection tool 4 side). ) And the guided portions 5e and 5f are inserted between the pair of rib-like projections 41e, and the guided portions 5h and 5i are moved while being guided by the rib-like projections 41e. The contact portions 5f and 5g move while being pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41.
Then, the locked protrusion 5e of the protector 5 moves over the rib-shaped protrusion 41e formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41, whereby the locked protrusion 5g of the protector 5 becomes the rib-shaped protrusion 41e. Locked, the protector 5 is fixed to the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41a).
 このとき、一対のリブ状突起41eの間を挿通した被ガイド部5h,5iの上面は、前記内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bに設けられた押え突起41fの下面と接し、前記被ガイド部5h,5iが、一対のリブ状突起41eおよび押え突起41fによって、保持される。
 また、プロテクタ5に形成された外針ハブ係止部5aの空間部5a1内に前記内針3の先端が位置すると共に、前記外針ハブ係止部5aの先端部5a2が外針ハブ22に当接する。これによりプロテクタ5が内針ハブ41に対し安定して装着(嵌合)された状態となる。
At this time, the upper surfaces of the guided portions 5h and 5i inserted between the pair of rib-like projections 41e are in contact with the lower surface of the presser protrusion 41f provided on the fitting portion 41b of the inner needle hub 41, and the guided portions 5h and 5i are held by the pair of rib-like protrusions 41e and the pressing protrusion 41f.
Further, the distal end of the inner needle 3 is positioned in the space 5 a 1 of the outer needle hub locking portion 5 a formed in the protector 5, and the distal end portion 5 a 2 of the outer needle hub locking portion 5 a is connected to the outer needle hub 22. Abut. As a result, the protector 5 is stably attached (fitted) to the inner needle hub 41.
 そして、このようにしてプロテクタが装着された状態にあっては、外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)の前方への移動は外針ハブ係止部5aによって阻止され、外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)の後方への移動はプロテクタ5に固定された内針ハブ41(嵌合部41b)によって阻止される。
 その結果、カテーテル2は固定された状態になされ、カテーテル2の移動は阻止される。また、外針ハブ22に翼22Aが設けられている場合にも、プロテクタ5を大型化することなく確実に装着することができ、また前記外針ハブ係止部5aの空間部5a1により外針21及び該外針21の先端から突出した内針3を収容して保護することができる。
When the protector is thus mounted, the forward movement of the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) is blocked by the outer needle hub locking portion 5a, and the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2). Is prevented by the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41 b) fixed to the protector 5.
As a result, the catheter 2 is fixed and movement of the catheter 2 is prevented. Even when the outer needle hub 22 is provided with wings 22A, the protector 5 can be securely mounted without increasing the size, and the outer needle is secured by the space portion 5a1 of the outer needle hub locking portion 5a. 21 and the inner needle 3 protruding from the tip of the outer needle 21 can be accommodated and protected.
 また、前記プロテクタ5を取り外す際(図29のY方向にプロテクタ5を移動させる際)、使用者はリブ状フレーム5dに指をかけ、片手で容易にプロテクタ5を取り外すことができる。尚、前記接触部5f,5gは、嵌合部41bと接し、外筒6のアーム開閉部62と接しないため、プロテクタ5が移動しても、外筒6のアーム開閉部62がY方向に移動することはなく、その位置に留まる。
 その結果、前記プロテクタ5を取り外した場合においても、内針3に対して外針ハブ22(カテーテル2)は移動しないため、外針21が内針3の先端よりも前方に移動し、内針3の先端を覆う等の弊害を防止することができる。
Further, when removing the protector 5 (when moving the protector 5 in the Y direction in FIG. 29), the user can easily remove the protector 5 with one hand by placing a finger on the rib-shaped frame 5d. The contact portions 5f and 5g are in contact with the fitting portion 41b and not the arm opening / closing portion 62 of the outer cylinder 6. Therefore, even if the protector 5 moves, the arm opening / closing portion 62 of the outer cylinder 6 moves in the Y direction. It does not move and stays in that position.
As a result, even when the protector 5 is removed, the outer needle hub 22 (catheter 2) does not move relative to the inner needle 3, so the outer needle 21 moves forward from the tip of the inner needle 3, and the inner needle It is possible to prevent adverse effects such as covering the tip of 3.
以上説明したように、本実施形態にかかる穿刺具1は、外針21と、前記外針の基端部を保持すると共に、側面に突起部位を有する外針ハブ22と、前記外針に先端部が挿入される内針3と、前記内針の基端部を保持する筒状の内針ハブ41と、前記外針を覆うプロテクタ5とを備える穿刺具1であって、前記プロテクタ5は、前記外針を収容する外針ハブ係止部5aと、前記外針ハブ係止部5aから軸線方向に延設されてプロテクタの上面及び側面を形成すると共に、下面及び前記外針ハブ係止部の反対端部に開口部5c1,5c2を有する本体部5bと、前記本体部の外針ハブ係止部反対端部側の外周面に形成されたリブ状フレーム5dと、前記本体部の外針ハブ係止部反対端部の内周面に形成された被係止突起5eとを有し、前記内針ハブ41は、一端側の外周面に形成された前記被係止突起5eを係止するリブ状突起41eとを有し、前記プロテクタの下面の開口部に前記外針ハブ22の突起部位22Aが配置され、前記プロテクタ5の外針ハブ係止部反対端部側の開口部5c1から内針ハブ41の一端側を挿入することにより、前記本体部5bの被係止突起5eが前記内針ハブ41のリブ状突起41eに係止され、前記外針21が前記外針ハブ係止部5aの空間部5a1に収容されることを特徴としている。 As described above, the puncture device 1 according to the present embodiment has the outer needle 21, the outer needle hub 22 having the protruding portion on the side surface while holding the proximal end portion of the outer needle, and the distal end of the outer needle. The puncture device 1 includes an inner needle 3 into which a portion is inserted, a cylindrical inner needle hub 41 that holds a proximal end portion of the inner needle, and a protector 5 that covers the outer needle. An outer needle hub locking portion 5a for housing the outer needle, and an upper surface and a side surface of the protector that extend in the axial direction from the outer needle hub locking portion 5a, and a lower surface and the outer needle hub locking A main body part 5b having openings 5c1 and 5c2 at the opposite end of the part, a rib-like frame 5d formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body part opposite to the outer needle hub locking part, A hooked protrusion 5e formed on the inner peripheral surface of the end opposite to the needle hub locking portion, and the inner needle The rib 41 has a rib-like protrusion 41e that locks the locked protrusion 5e formed on the outer peripheral surface on one end side, and the protruding portion 22A of the outer needle hub 22 is formed in the opening on the lower surface of the protector. When the one end side of the inner needle hub 41 is inserted from the opening 5c1 on the opposite end side of the protector 5 to the outer needle hub locking portion, the locked protrusion 5e of the main body portion 5b is inserted into the inner needle hub. 41, and the outer needle 21 is received in the space 5a1 of the outer needle hub locking portion 5a.
 このような構成によれば、前記プロテクタ5の本体部5b下面には、開口部5c2が設けられるため、前記開口部5c2に突起部位(図24に示した翼106など)を配置することができ、プロテクタ5を前記突起部位22Aに干渉させずに内針ハブに嵌合させることができる。
 即ち、外針ハブ22に翼などの突起部位22Aが設けられている場合にも、プロテクタ5を大型化することなく確実に装着することができ、前記外針ハブ係止部5aにより外針及び該外針の先端から突出した内針を収容して保護し、それらの位置ずれを防止すると共に、安全面を確保することができる。
 尚、前記本体部5bにリブ状フレーム5dが形成されているため、下面及び前記外針ハブ係止部の反対端部側に開口部5c1,5c2を有する本体部5bの強度を増大させることができ、プロテクタ5の変形を抑制することができる。
According to such a configuration, since the opening 5c2 is provided on the lower surface of the main body 5b of the protector 5, a projecting portion (such as the wing 106 shown in FIG. 24) can be disposed in the opening 5c2. The protector 5 can be fitted to the inner needle hub without interfering with the protruding portion 22A.
That is, even when the outer needle hub 22 is provided with a protruding portion 22A such as a wing, the protector 5 can be securely mounted without increasing the size, and the outer needle hub locking portion 5a can The inner needle protruding from the tip of the outer needle can be accommodated and protected to prevent positional displacement thereof, and a safety aspect can be ensured.
In addition, since the rib-like frame 5d is formed on the main body part 5b, the strength of the main body part 5b having the openings 5c1 and 5c2 on the lower surface and the opposite end side of the outer needle hub locking part can be increased. The deformation of the protector 5 can be suppressed.
 ここで、前記リブ状フレーム5dの本体部外周面からの高さが、使用者の指がかかる寸法に形成されていることが望ましい。このようにリブ状フレームが形成されている場合には、使用者は片手で、リブ状フレーム5dに指をかけてプロテクタ5を内針ハブ41から容易に取り外すことができる。 Here, it is desirable that the height of the rib-like frame 5d from the outer peripheral surface of the main body is formed such that the user's finger can be taken. When the rib-shaped frame is formed in this way, the user can easily remove the protector 5 from the inner needle hub 41 with one hand by placing a finger on the rib-shaped frame 5d.
 また、前記プロテクタ5は、本体部5bの内周面から突出して、前記外針ハブ係止部5aの反対端部の開口部から本体部5bの軸線に沿って前記軸線と平行に延設された接触部5f,5gを有し、前記プロテクタ5の外針ハブ係止部反対端部側の開口部5c1から内針ハブ41(嵌合部41b)の一端側を挿入した際、前記接触部5f,5gが内針ハブ41(嵌合部41b)の外周面に圧接することが望ましい。
 このように、内針ハブ41(嵌合部41b)の外周面は、プロテクタ5の本体部5bの内周面全体と圧接するのではなく、前記接触部5f、5gと圧接するため、適度な摺動抵抗が得られ、プロテクタ5の装着、取り外す際の事故を抑制することができる。
The protector 5 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the main body 5b and extends in parallel with the axis along the axis of the main body 5b from the opening at the opposite end of the outer needle hub locking portion 5a. When the one end side of the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41b) is inserted from the opening 5c1 on the opposite end side of the outer needle hub locking portion of the protector 5, the contact portion 5f, 5g 5f and 5g are preferably in pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41b).
Thus, the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub 41 (fitting portion 41b) is not in pressure contact with the entire inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 5b of the protector 5, but is in pressure contact with the contact portions 5f and 5g. Sliding resistance is obtained, and accidents when the protector 5 is attached or removed can be suppressed.
 また、前記プロテクタ5は、本体部5bの内周面から突出して、前記外針ハブ係止部反対端部側の開口部5c1から本体部5bの軸線に沿って前記軸線と平行に延設された被ガイド部5h、5iを有し、前記リブ状突起41eは、所定の間隔をあけて形成され、前記プロテクタ5の外針ハブ係止部反対端部側の開口部5c1から内針ハブ41(嵌合部41b)の一端側を挿入する際、前記被ガイド部5h、5iが前記リブ状突起41e間を挿通し、前記リブ状突起41eに案内されることが望ましい。
 このように、プロテクタ5を内針ハブ41に装着する際に、プロテクタ5はガイドされ、内針ハブ41とプロテクタ5とを確実に嵌合させることができる。
The protector 5 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the main body 5b and extends in parallel with the axis along the axis of the main body 5b from the opening 5c1 on the opposite end side of the outer needle hub locking portion. The rib-like protrusions 41e are formed at predetermined intervals, and the inner needle hub 41 extends from the opening 5c1 on the opposite end side of the protector 5 to the outer needle hub locking portion. When the one end side of the (fitting portion 41b) is inserted, it is desirable that the guided portions 5h and 5i are inserted between the rib-like projections 41e and guided to the rib-like projections 41e.
Thus, when the protector 5 is attached to the inner needle hub 41, the protector 5 is guided, and the inner needle hub 41 and the protector 5 can be reliably fitted.
 前記リブ状突起41eより内針基端部側の内針ハブの外周面に、前記被ガイド部が接する押え突起41fが形成されていることが望ましい。
 このように、前記被ガイド部5h、5iが押え突起41fと接することにより、プロテクタ5の内針ハブ41に対するガタつきを防止することができる。特に、プロテクタ5を内針ハブ41に装着した際、プロテクタ5の下面開口部側への傾き(変形)を抑制することができる。
It is desirable that a presser protrusion 41f that is in contact with the guided portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner needle hub closer to the inner needle proximal end than the rib-shaped protrusion 41e.
As described above, when the guided portions 5h and 5i are in contact with the presser protrusion 41f, it is possible to prevent the protector 5 from rattling with respect to the inner needle hub 41. In particular, when the protector 5 is attached to the inner needle hub 41, the inclination (deformation) of the protector 5 toward the lower surface opening can be suppressed.

(Eighth embodiment)
The eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 50. FIG. The same members as those in the first to seventh embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the eighth embodiment, the protector shown in the seventh embodiment is improved.
 以下、本発明の第8の実施形態にかかる穿刺具について、図44乃至図50に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, a puncture device according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
 この穿刺具1の内針ハブ41の先端側には、本体41aの筒径よりも拡径された筒状の嵌合部41bが一体形成されている(若しくは内針ハブ41と別体の場合には本体41aに強固に嵌合している)。この嵌合部41bの外周面には、軸方向に貫通する一対の係止孔41b1が相対して設けられている、前記一対の係止孔41b1は、それぞれ嵌合部41bの外周面において径外方に突設され、嵌合部41bの周方向に沿って所定の長さを有している。尚、前記一対の係止孔41b1は、内針ハブ41をプロテクタ5と嵌合させるために設けられている。 On the distal end side of the inner needle hub 41 of the puncture device 1, a cylindrical fitting portion 41b having a diameter larger than the cylinder diameter of the main body 41a is integrally formed (or in the case of a separate body from the inner needle hub 41). Is firmly fitted to the main body 41a). A pair of locking holes 41b1 penetrating in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b so as to face each other. The pair of locking holes 41b1 have a diameter on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 41b. It protrudes outward and has a predetermined length along the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 41b. The pair of locking holes 41 b 1 are provided for fitting the inner needle hub 41 with the protector 5.
 また、プロテクタ5は、図49に示すように、外針21及び外針21の先端から突出した内針3を収容可能な円筒状の外針係止部51(図47,図48参照)と、この外針係止部51の外側周面から拡径しながら軸方向に延びる一対の支持脚部52とを有する。前記一対の支持脚部52は、例えば、中空円錐体からなるキャップ形状の左右両側を軸方向に沿って切り欠くことで形成される。これにより、プロテクタ5の側面において、一対の支持脚部52の間には開口部53が形成される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 49, the protector 5 includes a cylindrical outer needle locking portion 51 (see FIGS. 47 and 48) that can accommodate the outer needle 21 and the inner needle 3 protruding from the tip of the outer needle 21. And a pair of support legs 52 extending in the axial direction while expanding from the outer peripheral surface of the outer needle locking portion 51. The pair of support legs 52 are formed by, for example, notching the left and right sides of a cap shape made of a hollow cone along the axial direction. Thus, an opening 53 is formed between the pair of support legs 52 on the side surface of the protector 5.
 また、前記支持脚部52は、その先端に外針係止部5151の同心円に沿って(嵌合部41bの周方向に沿って)湾曲形成された係止爪52aが設けられ、係止爪52aは周方向に所定の長さを有している。
 具体的には、係止爪52aは、内針ハブ41に設けられた係止孔41b1に挿入可能な大きさであって、係止孔41b1に完全に挿入されることにより係止孔41b1に係止するようになっている。また、前記係止爪52aと前記係止孔41b1の径方向の幅寸法は、前記係止爪52aが係止孔41b1に係止した後に、係止爪52aを人為的に径方向内側に押し込むことで係止孔41b1との係合を解除できる大きさに形成されている。
 また、外針係止部51の後端には、軸方向に伸縮自在なスプリング54(弾性部材)の一端が設けられている。このスプリング54は、プロテクタ5が装着された際に、その他端が外針ハブ22に形成された段差部22Cに当接し圧縮されるようになっている(図47、図48参照)。
The support leg 52 is provided with a locking claw 52a curved at the tip of the support leg 52 along the concentric circle of the outer needle locking portion 5151 (along the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 41b). 52a has a predetermined length in the circumferential direction.
Specifically, the locking claw 52a has a size that can be inserted into a locking hole 41b1 provided in the inner needle hub 41. When the locking claw 52a is completely inserted into the locking hole 41b1, the locking claw 52a is inserted into the locking hole 41b1. It is designed to be locked. The radial width of the locking claw 52a and the locking hole 41b1 is such that the locking claw 52a is artificially pushed radially inward after the locking claw 52a is locked to the locking hole 41b1. By this, it is formed in a size that can release the engagement with the locking hole 41b1.
In addition, at the rear end of the outer needle locking portion 51, one end of a spring 54 (elastic member) that is elastic in the axial direction is provided. When the protector 5 is mounted, the other end of the spring 54 comes into contact with the step portion 22C formed on the outer needle hub 22 and is compressed (see FIGS. 47 and 48).
プロテクタ5を装着する際には、図47に示すようにプロテクタ5が有する一対の支持脚部52に形成された係止爪52aを、それぞれ内針ハブ41の嵌合部41bに設けられた係止孔41b1に挿入し係止させる。このとき外針係止部51と外針ハブ22との間でスプリング54が圧縮され、プロテクタ5と内針ハブ41とを離間する方向に付勢力が生じる。これにより、プロテクタ5は内針ハブ41に対し、強固に安定して装着(嵌合)された状態となり、プロテクタ5の支持脚部52に支持された外針係止部51に、外針21及び該外針21の先端から突出した内針3が収容される。 47, when the protector 5 is mounted, the engaging claws 52a formed on the pair of support leg portions 52 of the protector 5 are provided on the fitting portions 41b of the inner needle hub 41, respectively. Insert and lock into the stop hole 41b1. At this time, the spring 54 is compressed between the outer needle locking portion 51 and the outer needle hub 22, and an urging force is generated in a direction in which the protector 5 and the inner needle hub 41 are separated from each other. As a result, the protector 5 is firmly and stably attached (fitted) to the inner needle hub 41, and the outer needle 21 is attached to the outer needle locking portion 51 supported by the support leg portion 52 of the protector 5. The inner needle 3 protruding from the tip of the outer needle 21 is accommodated.
 また、図44、図45に示すように、プロテクタ5の側面に設けられた開口部53に外針ハブ22の分岐管22Bと一対の翼22Aとが配置された状態となるため、支持脚部52は前記分岐管22Aと一対の翼22Bとに干渉することなく内針ハブ41の嵌合部41aに嵌合する。
 即ち、外針ハブ22に分岐管22Bや翼22Aが設けられていても、プロテクタ5を確実に装着することができ、外針係止部5151により外針21及び該外針21の先端から突出した内針3を収容して保護することができる。
44 and 45, since the branch pipe 22B and the pair of blades 22A of the outer needle hub 22 are arranged in the opening 53 provided on the side surface of the protector 5, the support leg portion is provided. 52 is fitted into the fitting portion 41a of the inner needle hub 41 without interfering with the branch pipe 22A and the pair of blades 22B.
That is, even if the outer needle hub 22 is provided with the branch pipe 22B and the blades 22A, the protector 5 can be securely attached, and the outer needle 21 is projected from the outer needle 21 and the tip of the outer needle 21 by the outer needle locking portion 5151. The inner needle 3 can be accommodated and protected.
また、前記プロテクタ5を外す際には、支持脚部52の先端の係止爪52aを径方向内側に押し込んで、内針ハブ41の係止孔41b1との係合を解除する。前記係止爪52aと前記係止孔41b1との係合が解除されると、スプリング54の付勢力により、前記係止爪52aは前記係止孔41b1から容易に抜ける。そして、内針ハブ41に対しプロテクタ5を軸方向(離間する方向)に引き抜くことで、プロテクタ5が内針ハブ41から分離される。 Further, when the protector 5 is removed, the engagement claw 52a at the tip of the support leg 52 is pushed inward in the radial direction to release the engagement with the engagement hole 41b1 of the inner needle hub 41. When the engagement between the locking claw 52a and the locking hole 41b1 is released, the locking claw 52a is easily removed from the locking hole 41b1 by the biasing force of the spring 54. And the protector 5 is isolate | separated from the inner needle hub 41 by pulling out the protector 5 with respect to the inner needle hub 41 in the axial direction (direction away).
 以上のように本発明に係る一実施形態によれば、プロテクタ5の側面には、支持脚部52の間に開口部53が設けられるため、前記開口部53に外針ハブ22の分岐管22Bと一対の翼22Aとを配置することができ、支持脚部52を前記分岐管22B及び翼22Aに干渉させずに内針ハブ41に嵌合させることができる。
 即ち、外針ハブ22に分岐管22Bや翼22Aが設けられていても、プロテクタ5を大型化させずに確実に装着することができ、外針係止部51により外針21及び該外針21の先端から突出した内針3を収容して保護し、それらの位置ずれを防止すると共に安全面を確保することができる。
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the opening 53 is provided between the support legs 52 on the side surface of the protector 5, the branch pipe 22 </ b> B of the outer needle hub 22 is provided in the opening 53. And the pair of blades 22A, and the support leg 52 can be fitted to the inner needle hub 41 without interfering with the branch pipe 22B and the blade 22A.
