Description

TITLE: IIuVIPROVEMENT IN THE STRUCTURE OF A SAFETY
SYRINGE -1. Field of the Invention This invention is related to an improvement in the structure of a safety syringe.
2. Description of the Prior Art There have been many hospital related personnel suffering from fatal contagion of various diseased as a result of accidentally punctured by disposed needles, such as AIDS, TB and diseases of the like, which are distn'buted via blood So, it is a life and death matter for doctors and nurses to deal with disposed needles within hospitals and clinics.
To better protect hospital personnel from being fatally punctured by disposed needles, a number of safety syringes have been designed and marketed for many years. The most common safety syringes on markets are made up of more than 4 pieces, causing the production cost of syringes to increase in one aspect and to burden the natural environment when disposed without processing in another aspect. So, it is not popularly used at all.
Furthermore, another type of safety syringe as illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, such a prior art safety syringe is made up of a tubular container 1, an injection rod 2, a needle 3 and a needle cover (not shown). The W bular container 1 has a needle mount 10 for the retaining of the needle 3 at one end and has an oval shaped stop flange 11 at the other end. A limiting plate 12 having a retaining recess 13 at its edge extends from one side of the stop flange 11.
The injection rod 2 having a cross-shaped section is slidably housed in the tubular container 1. At the front end of the injection rod 2 is disposed a piston end 20 having a mushroom-shaped retaining piece 21 at one end and at the other end of the injection rod 2 is disposed a circular disk 22. On trvo opposite points of the periphery of the circular disk 22 are disposed a retaining piece 23 respectively which is engaged with the retaining recess 13 of the limiting plate 12 of the tubular container 1.
The needle 3 has a slantly cut puncturing end 30 and the other end of the needle 3 has an outerly threaded W be 31 having a pair of opposite openings on the wall thereof. There are rivo slant retaining claws 32a, 32b housed in the 1 ~ threaded tube 3 l and extending from the edge of the openings respectively, as shown in FIG. 1, so as to permit the mmhroom shaped retaining piece 21 to be locked in place by the retaining claws 32a 32b. The slant angles of the retaining claws 32a, 32b are not identical. When the injection rod 2 is pulled backward, the needle 3 can be withdrawn into the tubular container 1 after the needle 3 is rotated to disengage from the needle mount 10. The needle will lean to one side as a result of the difference of the slant angles of the retaining claws 32 when it is pulled into the tubular container 1. Afterwards, the needle mount 10 is closed by the needle cover (not shown) so as to protect hospital personnel from being pricked by disposed needles which are S withdrawn into the tubular container after use.
Such a prior art safety syringe has the following disadvantages in its design and practical use:
1. The needle is easily subject to contamination after it is taken out from its germ free packing by hospital personnel wearing no gloves and exposed to the air.
2. The needle is easily dropped and the exposed needle can get people pricked accidentally 3. The retaining claws are made in a relatively complex manner having too many cuts and corners in which residues produced in a manufacturing process can be hidden and injected into a patient's body via blood vessels, causing unexpected diseases.
4. The injection rod cannot be pushed fully to the bottom end of the W bular container, making medical liqtuds unable to be fully and e~ciently injected into patients' bodies.
5. The W bular container is not provided with slippery proof strips; a person ererting a large force to withdraw the injection rod and get a disposed needle pulled into the tubular container will easily get pricked by a used needle as a result of slippery of his or her hands off the W bular container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIrv~NT
For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings. Specific language will be used to descn'be same. It wfll, nevertheless, be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, the safety syringe according to the present invention generally comprises a tubular container 5, an injection rod 6, a needle 7 and a needle receiving tube 8.
As shown in FIG. 1, the W boar container 5 is fomned with a protruded 1 S needle mounting neck 50 at the upper end and a holding flange 52 at the lower end. The protruded needle mounting neck 50 has a lid 51 attached to the edge of the needle mounting neck 50 and a threaded inner wall for the securing of the needle 7. A phuality of a<~cially extended anti-slip linear protn~sions 53 are formed on the outer surface of the tubular container S for enabling the tubular container 5 to be held firmly without slip when the injection rod 6 is pulled ourivardly The injection rod 6 has a cross-shaped figure and is provided at the lower end with a round disc 60 for easy operation of the injection rod 6. The upper end of the injection rod 6 is formed with a dovetailed groove 61 engageable with a dovetailed projection 64 provided at the bottom of a piston head 62.
The top of the piston head 62 is formed with a mushroom projection 63 having a slot at the upper end. A sleeve 65 having an inner protruded wall 66 and threads 67 above the wall 66 is engaged with the projection 63 for receiving the needle 7. A packing ring 68 is fitted between the sleeve 65 and the needle 7 for strengthening the engagement therebetVVeen.
The needle 7 has a slantly cut injection hole 70 at one end and another externally threaded cylindrical mounting end 71 which is engaged with the needle mounting neck 50 of the tubular container in assembly The top of the cylindrical mounting end 71 is provided with a protnided block having a 1 ~ cross-shaped figure made up of four vertical planes 72 orthogonal to each other. Each of the vertical planes 72 has a lug 73 extending from the upper end thereof.
The needle receiving hibe 8 has an opened bottom end and a closed top end which is provided with a continuous spiral nb 82 for engagement with the needle mounting neck 50. The outer stu-face of the needle receiving tube 8 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal protrusions 81 for enabling the needle receiving tube 8 to be held firmly without slip. The inner side of the needle receiving tube 8 is provided with protuberances (not shown) for engaging with the lugs 73 of the needle 7 thereby enabling the needle 7 to be fixed in place in the needle receiving tube 8 without moving or shaking randomly.
When in assembly, the sleeve 65 is first fitted in the tubular container S
and then pushed into the neck 50. Then, the needle 7 is inserted in the tubular container 5, with the externally threaded cylindrical mounting end 71 engaged with the threads 67 thereby providing a safety syringe for use.
Referring to FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, SA and 5B, when the person engaging in the shot is going to dispose the safety syringe after use, he or she will hold the tubular container 5 with the left hand and continues pushing the injection rod 6 with the right hand by way of the round disc 60 so as to engage the mushroom projection 63 of the piston head 62 with the inner protruded 1 S wall 66 of the sleeve 65. Thereafter, the injection rod 6 is pulled ourivardly to withdraw the needle 7 into the hibular container S for disposal. Then, the lid 51 is engaged with the needle moLUiting neck 50 to close the tubular container 5 to prevent the needle 7 from accidentally sticking out of the need mounting neck S0.
It will be understood that each of the elements descn'bed above, or rivo or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type descn'bed above.
