Yes. Since the extraction restricting portion 5 is erected on the connecting plate portion 310, the state where the extraction restricting portion 5 is advanced between the covering wall portions 204 a and the inside of the housing 2 in accordance with the switching of the operation portion 3 to the depressed state or the pulled-up state. Switch to the evacuated state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the extraction restricting portion 5 is formed with a retaining recess 50 having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the barrel main body 810. The extraction restricting portion 5 is configured to come into contact with the lower portion, the side portion, and the upper portion of the barrel main body portion 810 when advanced between the covering wall portions 204a.

The sampling restricting portion 5 according to the present embodiment includes a pair of retaining portions 51 that are arranged at intervals in the retaining direction, and a connecting portion 52 that is continuous with each of the pair of retaining portions 51.

The one retaining portion 51 is connected to the connecting piece 420. Therefore, when the extraction restricting portion 5 advances between the covering wall portions 204a, one of the retaining portions 51 is disposed below the barrel main body portion 810, and the other retaining portion 51 is disposed above the barrel main body portion 810. The portion 52 is configured to be disposed on the side of the barrel main body portion 810.

The actuating mechanism 6 is configured to interlock the push-down operation or pull-up operation of the operation unit 3 with the movement of the detaching member 4 in the axial direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the operation mechanism 6 according to the present embodiment is configured by an operation connection portion 31 of the operation unit 3 and a connection portion 42 of the removal member 4.

The lock mechanism 7 has a pulling lock structure that can lock the pulling operation of the operation unit 3 that has been switched to the depressed state.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pulling lock structure includes a hooked portion 70 formed in the housing 2, and a hooking portion 71 configured to be hooked on the hooked portion 70 and formed on the lever portion 30. Have

The hooked portion 70 is formed in the housing body 20. Further, the hooked portion 70 is formed in a shaft shape, and is configured such that the axial direction corresponds to the above-described insertion / removal direction. The hooked portion 70 according to the present embodiment is formed so as to extend from the base portion 203 in the insertion / removal direction.

The hook portion 71 is formed on one rib 300b. If it demonstrates more concretely, the hook part 71 will be comprised by the recessed part which can be inserted in the to-be-hooked part 70 and is formed in one rib 300b.

Therefore, the pulling lock structure is configured to lock the pulling operation of the operation unit 3 when the hooked portion 70 is fitted in the concave portion constituting the hooking portion 71.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the urging structure 25 urges the removal member 4 toward one side in the axial direction. Therefore, the urging structure 25 urges the operation unit 3 to indirectly switch to the pulled-up state. Therefore, the urging structure 25 also functions as a push-down lock structure that locks the push-down operation.

The syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment has the above configuration. Then, the usage method of the syringe auxiliary tool 1 is demonstrated.

When a patient performs self-injection using the syringe auxiliary tool 1, the patient inserts the syringe 8 (the syringe body 80 with the cap 84 attached) into the housing 2 of the syringe auxiliary tool 1.

More specifically, the syringe main body 80 is inserted into the arrangement space of the housing main body portion 20 from above.

Accordingly, the flange portion 813 passes between the rear wall portion 202 and the insertion notch 204j and is inserted between the inner wall surface of the rear wall portion 202 and the one end 212 of the receiving portion 21, and the syringe main body 80. Is restricted from moving in the axial direction. More specifically, when the syringe main body 80 tries to move to the front wall side, the flange portion 813 is caught by one end 212 of the receiving portion 21, and when it tries to move to the rear wall side, the flange portion 813 is moved to the rear wall. Since it is caught on the inner wall surface, the movement in the axial direction is restricted.

Further, the rod 830 of the plunger 83 is inserted into the rear wall side recess 202a, the barrel main body 810 is inserted between the covering wall portions 204a, and the cap 84 is inserted into the front wall side recess 201c. The pushing claw 401 is inserted into the gap between the syringe body 80 (barrel body 810) and the cap 84. In this way, the syringe 8 is set in the syringe auxiliary tool 1.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10, the patient grasps the housing 2 with the index finger attached to the rear end side of the peripheral wall 200 and the little finger attached to the front end of the peripheral wall 200.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11, when the operation unit 3 is switched from the pulled-up state to the pushed-down state in accordance with the timing at which the patient wants to perform self-injection, the cap 84 is removed from the syringe body 80 and the injection needle 82 is exposed. Extraction of the syringe body 80 from the housing 2 is restricted.

More specific explanation. When the patient pushes the extended portion 301 b of the push-pull portion 301 toward the housing 2 with the thumb, the lever portion 30 rotates around the attachment position to the housing 2. In this embodiment, the lever part 30 rotates in the circumferential direction centering on the axial direction of the base side attaching shaft part 230 and the cover side attaching shaft part 231.

Along with this, the operation connecting portion 31 also rotates around the attachment position of the lever portion 30 to the housing 2, and the extraction restricting portion 5 and the removal member 4 operate in conjunction with the rotation of the operation connecting portion 31. .

At this time, when the extraction restricting portion 5 advances from the inside of the housing 2 to between the covering wall portions 204a, one of the retaining portions 51 is disposed above the barrel main body portion 810. Thereby, extraction of the syringe main body 80 from the housing | casing 2 is controlled.

Also, the removal member 4 moves from the rear wall side to the front wall side in the axial direction, so that the pushing claw portion 401 moves toward the front wall side while pushing the cap 84. As described above, since the syringe body 80 is restricted from moving in the axial direction, the cap 84 is removed from the syringe body 80. In this way, the syringe 8 set in the syringe auxiliary tool 1 is ready for self-injection.

Then, when the operation unit 3 is switched from the raised state to the pushed-down state, the hooked portion 70 is inserted into the concave portion constituting the hook portion 71. The fixed side pressure receiving part 251a and the movable side pressure receiving part 252a are constantly urged by the urging member 250 in a direction away from each other in the axial direction, but the hooked part 70 remains in the hooking part 71. As a result, the pulling operation of the operation unit 3 is locked. Therefore, the switching of the operation unit 3 from the depressed state to the pulled-up state is locked.

Then, the patient grasps the housing 2 so as to hold the upper portion of the cover portion 204 with the thumb, and punctures the injection site with the injection needle 82 to bring the front wall portion 201 into contact with the human body. When the head 832 of the plunger 83 is pushed in this state, the injection in the barrel 81 is administered to the human body.

After the self-injection is completed, as shown in FIG. 12, when the operation unit 3 is switched from the pushed-down state to the pulled-up state, the extraction regulating unit 5 is retracted into the housing 2 from between the covering wall portions 204a, and the syringe body 80 is ready to be removed from the housing 2.

In the present embodiment, when the thumb is hooked on the extended portion 301 b of the push-pull portion 301 and pulled away from the housing, the operation connecting portion 31 rotates together with the lever portion 30, and interlocks with the rotation of the operation connecting portion 31. Thus, the extraction restricting portion 5 and the removal member 4 are operated. And while the action | operation connection part 31 and the extraction control part 5 evacuate in the housing | casing 2 from between the coating | coated wall parts 204a, the removal member 4 returns to the original position.

When the push-pull portion 301 is pulled up with the thumb of the hand holding the housing 2 after self-injection and the hook portion 71 is removed from the hooked portion 70, the operation portion 3 is switched from the depressed state to the pulled-up state. At the same time, the extraction restricting portion 5 is retracted into the housing 2 from between the covering wall portions 204a through the recesses. As a result, the syringe body 80 can be removed from the housing 2.

As described above, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment is a sampling restriction unit that can regulate the extraction of the syringe main body 80 from the casing 2 in accordance with the push-down operation or the pulling operation of the operating unit 3 with respect to the casing 2. 5 and the detaching member 4 for removing the cap 84 from the syringe body 80 of the syringe 8 inserted into the casing 2 are configured to operate, so that the patient grasps the casing 2 with one hand. In this state, a series of operations from insertion of the syringe 8 into the housing 2 to removal of the syringe body 8 after injection can be performed.

Therefore, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 can reduce the trouble of changing the housing 2 when the patient performs self-injection.

In addition, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 is configured such that the removal member 4 removes the cap 84 from the syringe main body 80 and the extraction restricting portion 5 from the casing 2 as the operation unit 3 switches from the pulled-up state to the pushed-down state. Since it is configured to restrict the withdrawal of 80, the patient can remove the cap 84 from the syringe body 80 at his / her desired timing after inserting the syringe 8 into the housing 2.

Therefore, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 can be handled with the cap 84 attached to the syringe body 80 until immediately before self-injection is performed (immediately before the injection needle 82 is punctured into the human body).

Furthermore, in the syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment, since the biasing structure 25 indirectly biases the operation unit 3 to switch to the pulling state, the operation unit 3 is in the pulling state at a timing not intended by the patient. Is prevented from being switched to a depressed state.

Further, in the syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment, the lock mechanism 7 prevents the operation unit 3 from switching from the depressed state to the raised state at a timing not intended by the patient. Therefore, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment prevents the syringe main body 80 from dropping from the housing 2 or the cap 84 from being removed from the syringe main body 80 at a timing not intended by the patient.

Thus, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 is easy to operate and can safely perform self-injection.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the distal end portion of the lever portion 30 is disposed on the other end side opposite to the one end side on which the injection needle 82 projects from the housing 2, so that the patient is on the front end side of the housing 2. In a state where the housing 2 is gripped along the little finger, the tip of the lever portion 30 can be disposed near the thumb or index finger. Therefore, in the syringe auxiliary tool 1, when the patient performs the self-injection, the push-down operation or the pull-up operation of the operation unit 3 can be easily performed.

In the present embodiment, when the operation unit 3 is switched from the pulled-up state to the pushed-down state, the distal end portion of the lever portion 30 (that is, the push-pull portion 301) protrudes from the other end of the housing 2 in the axial direction. Since it is arranged at the position, the push / pull unit 301 can be easily operated when the operation unit 3 is switched from the pushed-down state to the pulled-up state.

And the lever part 30 (outer surface of the rotation connection part 300) becomes the attitude | position inclined with respect to the outer surface of the housing | casing 2 in the state in which the operation part 3 was switched to the raising state (specifically, the lever part 30). Is inclined with respect to the outer surface of the housing 2 so as to be gradually separated from the housing 2 as the position becomes the tip side from the mounting position. Thus, the operation unit 3 can be easily pushed down with the patient holding the housing 2.

In addition, the syringe auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various changes are made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the casing 2 is formed so that the outer diameter is different at each position in the axial direction, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the housing 2 may be formed so that the outer diameter is the same at each position in the axial direction.

In the above-described embodiment, in the case body 20, the front wall 201 and the rear wall 202 are integrally formed with respect to the cover 204 to form a single member (hereinafter referred to as a cover body). Although the cover body is attached to the base portion, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, in the case body 20, the front wall 201 may be formed integrally with the base 203, and the rear wall 202 may be formed integrally with the base 203.

In the above embodiment, the urging member 250 indirectly urges the operation unit 3, but is not limited to this configuration, and may urge the operation unit 3 directly, for example.

In the urging structure 25 according to the above-described embodiment, the urging member 250 urges the detaching member 4 so as to push the removing member 4 from the front wall side toward the rear wall side, but the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, in the urging structure 25, the urging member 250 may be arranged between the rear wall and the removal member 4, and may be configured to pull the removal member 4 toward the rear wall.

In this case, the urging member 250 may be configured by a tension coil spring, and the movable side mounting portion 252 may be configured to face the fixed side mounting portion 251 formed on the rear wall side with respect to the removal member 4. . As described above, the urging structure 25 may be configured such that the urging member 250 urges the detaching member 4 to be pulled toward the rear wall.

In the above embodiment, the operation unit 3 has a shape in which the push-pull unit 301 is bent. However, for example, the operation unit 3 may have a shape that extends straight. In this case, the push / pull portion 301 may be formed to extend in the same direction as the direction in which the rotary connecting portion 300 extends or in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the rotary connecting portion 300 extends.

Although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, the inclination angle with respect to the outer surface of the rotary connecting portion 300 with respect to the outer surface of the housing 2 is set to be smaller when the operation unit 3 is switched to the pulled-up state. It is possible to facilitate the push-down operation of the rotary connecting portion 300.

In the fixing structure 205 in the above embodiment, the locked portion 205a is formed on the base portion 203 and the locking portion 205b is formed on the cover portion 204. For example, the locked portion 205a is formed on the cover portion 204. The locking portion 205b may be formed on the base portion 203. In other words, the fixing structure 205 may be such that the locked portion 205 a is formed on one of the base portion 203 or the cover portion 204 and the locking portion 205 b is formed on the other of the base portion 203 or the cover portion 204.

In the above-described embodiment, the front wall portion 201 includes a pair of extending portions 201b that are arranged at intervals in the width direction, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the front wall portion 201 may include one extending portion 201b, and the front wall portion 201 may include three or more extending portions 201b.
