A medical syringe with such a closure piece is likewise provided.
The adapter, which is to be fitted onto the syringe neck, enables the closure piece to be fitted onto a plurality of medical syringes. In particular, it is not required to provide an outer thread on the syringe neck onto which the screw-type closure piece can be screwed.

The screw-type closure piece and the twist-off ring preferably have projections serving as pickup catches.
The connectors serve as tear-off connectors. The pickup catches can carry along the twist-off ring when being screwed on. If the closure piece is twisted off the connectors tear and the catches have no function.
The edges of the projections facing one another are preferably aligned in the longitudinal direction of the syringe, whereas the edges averted from one another are inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the syringe. This ensures proper pickup function during screwing on, whereas with unscrewing, when the connectors tear, the projections can glide over one another.
The screw-type closure piece is preferably provided with a cover plate. The cover plate holds the closure cap, even when the syringe is subjected to external negative pressure e.g. during air transport. The cover plate holds the closure cap whenever the syringe is treated with superheated water or water vapour for sterilising, with excess pressure building up inside the syringe.
Opening segments are preferably formed in the cover plate. The opening segments allow control when the closure cap is present, the opening segments enable intensive water exchange during autoclaving, and the opening segments enable the closure cap to be supported with a counterpressure ram during in-process control.
Finally, the opening segments enable a rotary tool to be introduced to screw the screw-type closure piece on and off.
Further characteristics and practical applications of the invention will emerge from the following description of an embodiment by means of the figures, in which:

Figure 1 shows a medical syringe with a fitted closure piece as per an embodiment of the present invention.
The end shown in the figure at the bottom points in the proximal direction, while the end shown in the figure at the top points in the distal direction. The terms "proximal" and "distal" are used in the following description to designate these directions.
As shown in Figure 1, a closure piece 1 is set on a needle shoulder, not shown in Figure 1. The needle shoulder is connected to a syringe barrel 3 via a syringe shoulder 2. A plunger (not shown) is introduced into the syringe barrel 3 from the proximal end. The plunger serves to seal off the proximal end and as it is moved into the syringe barrel 3 it serves to dispense the medium contained in the syringe through the needle shoulder and a needle, not shown here.
As is best seen in Figure 2, the closure piece 1 substantially comprises three components. The closure piece 1 comprises a screw-type closure piece 4, a closure cap 5 and an adapter 6.
The screw-type closure piece 4 will be described hereinbelow with reference to Figures 2 to 7. The screw-type closure piece 4 has a cup shape, open to the proximal end. The screw-type closure piece 4 is formed substantially rotationally symmetrical about its longitudinal axis 7. Formed on the upper side integrally with the screw-type closure piece 4 and opposite the proximal end of the screw-type closure piece 4 is a cover plate 8. The cover plate 8 has longitudinal holes 9, substantially in the shape of an arc of a circle. The purpose of the longitudinal holes 9 is to introduce a rotary tool. Further, the longitudinal holes 9 permit inspection of the closure cap 5. In case the syringe is to be autoclaved for terminal sterilisation the longitudinal holes 9 allow hot water and water vapour to be admitted to the closure cap 5. To increase its mechanical strength the screw-type closure piece 4 is provided with a plurality of fins 10 extending on the outside in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
The screw-type closure piece has a widened screw section 11 at its proximal end. As is evident from Figure 6, the screw section 11 is provided with an inner thread 12. As is best apparent from Figure 7 a twist-off ring 13 is connected via connectors 14 to the actual screw-type closure piece 4. The connectors 14 exhibit a trapezoid shape, which is formed symmetrically to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. The twist-off ring 13 has fluting peripherally enclosing the twist-off ring 13.
Provided at the lower proximal end of the screw-type closure piece 4 are first projections 16, while second 10 projections 17 are provided at the upper distal end of the twist-off ring 13. As is evident in particular from Figure 7, in each case a first projection 16 of the screw-type closure piece 4 is formed adjacent to a second projection 17 of the twist-off ring 13. The edge 15 18 of the first projection 16, pointing to the second projection 17, extends substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. The edge 19 of the second projection 17, pointing to the first projection 16, extends substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. By comparison, the edge 20 of the first projection 16, averted from the second projection 17, is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4, as shown in Figure 7. The edge 21 of the second projection 17, averted from the first projection 16, is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4, as shown in Figure 7.
As best seen in Figure 6, a spherical bead 22 is provided on the inside of the cover plate 8. As shown in Figure 2, the spherical bead 22 cooperates with the closure cap 5. In particular, the spherical bead 22 presses on the closure cap 5 to hold the closure cap 5 in the syringe neck 23. Whenever the screw-type closure piece 4 is screwed on, the spherical bead 22 contacts the closure cap 5 over a small surface only. The rotary motion of the screw-type closure piece 4 therefore exerts practically no torque on the closure cap 5.
As is best seen in Figure 2, the closure piece 1 substantially comprises three components. The closure piece 1 comprises a screw-type closure piece 4, a closure cap 5 and an adapter 6.
The screw-type closure piece 4 will be described hereinbelow with reference to Figures 2 to 7. The screw-type closure piece 4 has a cup shape, open to the proximal end. The screw-type closure piece 4 is formed substantially rotationally symmetrical about its longitudinal axis 7. Formed on the upper side integrally with the screw-type closure piece 4 and opposite the proximal end of the screw-type closure piece 4 is a cover plate 8. The cover plate 8 has longitudinal holes 9, substantially in the shape of an arc of a circle. The purpose of the longitudinal holes 9 is to introduce a rotary tool. Further, the longitudinal holes 9 permit inspection of the closure cap 5. In case the syringe is to be autoclaved for terminal sterilisation the longitudinal holes 9 allow hot water and water vapour to be admitted to the closure cap 5. To increase its mechanical strength the screw-type closure piece 4 is provided with a plurality of fins 10 extending on the outside in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
The screw-type closure piece has a widened screw section 11 at its proximal end. As is evident from Figure 6, the screw section 11 is provided with an inner thread 12. As is best apparent from Figure 7 a twist-off ring 13 is connected via connectors 14 to the actual screw-type closure piece 4. The connectors 14 exhibit a trapezoid shape, which is formed symmetrically to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. The twist-off ring 13 has fluting peripherally enclosing the twist-off ring 13.
Provided at the lower proximal end of the screw-type closure piece 4 are first projections 16, while second 10 projections 17 are provided at the upper distal end of the twist-off ring 13. As is evident in particular from Figure 7, in each case a first projection 16 of the screw-type closure piece 4 is formed adjacent to a second projection 17 of the twist-off ring 13. The edge 15 18 of the first projection 16, pointing to the second projection 17, extends substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. The edge 19 of the second projection 17, pointing to the first projection 16, extends substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4. By comparison, the edge 20 of the first projection 16, averted from the second projection 17, is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4, as shown in Figure 7. The edge 21 of the second projection 17, averted from the first projection 16, is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 7 of the screw-type closure piece 4, as shown in Figure 7.
As best seen in Figure 6, a spherical bead 22 is provided on the inside of the cover plate 8. As shown in Figure 2, the spherical bead 22 cooperates with the closure cap 5. In particular, the spherical bead 22 presses on the closure cap 5 to hold the closure cap 5 in the syringe neck 23. Whenever the screw-type closure piece 4 is screwed on, the spherical bead 22 contacts the closure cap 5 over a small surface only. The rotary motion of the screw-type closure piece 4 therefore exerts practically no torque on the closure cap 5.
Next, the adapter 6 is described with reference to Figures 2 and 8 to 11. The adapter 6 is formed from a cylinder 24. The cylinder 24 is open on the top side and the underside. An outer thread 25 is formed at the distal end of the cylinder 24. A flange 26 is formed at the proximal end of the cylinder 24. The closure cap 5 is now described with reference to Figure 2. The closure cap 5 is substantially cup-shaped. The closure cap 5 can be inserted into the syringe neck 23. The inside of the syringe neck 23 is formed by an inwards-protruding wall 27 with a groove 18 for taking up the closure cap 5 to better fasten the closure cap 5.
When using the closure piece, the adapter 6 is first attached to the syringe neck 23. The adapter 6 can be fitted on the syringe neck 23 and welded. Suitable procedures are laser welding, ultrasound, microwave or adhesion processes. The adapter 6 thus enables a syringe to be provided which has a thread 25 on its syringe neck 23. The adapter 6 enables those syringes to be used which have no outer thread on the syringe neck in terms of production, though a closure piece may be screwed on. The adapter 6 accordingly offers the option of using syringes to a larger extent than was previously the case. .
After the adapter 6 is set on the syringe neck 23, the closure cap 5 is introduced to the syringe neck 23 to close the syringe neck 23.
Then the screw-type closure piece 4 is screwed onto the adapter 6. As the screw-type closure piece 4 is being screwed on, the projections 16 take along the projections 17 on the twist-off ring 13 on the screw-type closure piece 4. The screw-type closure piece 4 can therefore be screwed onto the adapter 6 along with the twist-off ring 13. At the end of the screwing-on procedure an inner projection 29 at the proximal end of the twist-off ring 13 with a bevel 30 comes over the flange 26 of the adapter 6, in the process locking the inner projection 29 under the flange 26.
When the syringe is being used, the screw-type closure piece 4 is turned in the opposite direction. The projections 16 of the screw-type closure piece 4 slide over the projections 17 of the twist-off ring 13. The connectors 14 tear. The screw-type closure piece 4 can be unscrewed from the adapter 6. The twist-off ring 13 remains on the syringe neck 23 and is prevented from falling down by the flange 26. At this point the closure cap 5 is removed from the syringe neck 23. If necessary, a needle (not shown) is set on the syringe neck. The syringe is ready for use.
The twist-off ring 13 held by the flange 26 of the adapter 6 indicates that a factory-applied screw-type closure piece has been removed. In this way the screw-type closure piece 4 and the twist-off ring 13 create a tamper-evident closure.
When using the closure piece, the adapter 6 is first attached to the syringe neck 23. The adapter 6 can be fitted on the syringe neck 23 and welded. Suitable procedures are laser welding, ultrasound, microwave or adhesion processes. The adapter 6 thus enables a syringe to be provided which has a thread 25 on its syringe neck 23.

After the adapter 6 is set on the syringe neck 23, the closure cap 5 is introduced to the syringe neck 23 to close the syringe neck 23.
Then the screw-type closure piece 4 is screwed onto the adapter 6. As the screw-type closure piece 4 is being screwed on, the projections 16 take along the projections 17 on the twist-off ring 13 on the screw-type closure piece 4. The screw-type closure piece 4 can therefore be screwed onto the adapter 6 along with the twist-off ring 13. At the end of the screwing-on procedure an inner projection 29 at the proximal end of the twist-off ring 13 with a bevel 30 comes over the flange 26 of the adapter 6, in the process locking the inner projection 29 under the flange 26.
