- Head 34 includes an anchoring and support part 35 secured within the adjacent end of the member 30.
- the outside diameter of the support part 36 - is the same as the inside diameter of the member 30 plus approximately .001 so as to provide a rm press fit of the support part 36 within said member 30.
- the part 36 is further secured within the member 35) by a suitable adhesive such as, for example, epoxy cement which is applied to the exterior of the support partv prior to its being pressed into the member 30.

- the support part 36 is externally grooved for reception of adhesive therein, there being a plurality of grooves, indicated at 38, which are spaced apart longitudinally of the support part 36.
- the cement is indicated at 4u. To provide maximum adhesion of the cement to the exterior surface of the support part 36, said surface is roughened by any suitable means.
- flange M- At the outer end of the anchoring and/ or support part 36 there is an outwardly or radially extending flange M- of somewhat smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the barrel body 14 so as to provide clearance and freedom of movement ofthe plunger. It has been found that excellent results are provided by having the flange 44 approximately .001 to .002 smaller in diameter than the inside diameter of said barrel body i4.
- a reduced diameter part 46 intermediate the ends of which there is a radially extending annular flange, indicated generally at 48, which may be termed the sealing flange.
- a peripheral portion of flange 4S is flared radially outwardly, as viewed in cross section, thereby providing a longitudinally lengthened peripheral part 50.
- the outer peripheral surface 52 of the flange 48 is cylindrical, the diameter of said flange being the diameter of the interior bore of the barrel body 14 plus .001 to .003, depending upon the size of the syringe, the thickness of the unflared part of the flange 48, indicated at the double pointed dimension indicating arrow 54, and the length of the outer peripheral part 50 of the flange 48, the diameter of the flange 48 being the compression dimension.
- the free end portion 56 of the reduced diameter part 46 extends forwardly of the ange 48 with the free end 58 of portion 56 in engagement with the inner side of the wall 16 to limit inward movement of the plunger when the latter is pushed fully inwardly.
- the flange 48 is spaced inwardly of the wall 1e when said plunger is at its inward limit of movement.
- a pressure member 60 is provided at the outer end of the plunger body, said member 60 being of any suitable material such as hard plastic or the like. Member 60 is pressed into the outer end portion of the plunger memer 30 and secured therein by any suitable means such as an adhesive. Epoxy cement does very well for this purpose. At the outer end of the member 60 there is a radially extending annular flange 62 against which pressure is exerted by the users thumb or other part of the hand when forcing the plunger inwardly. A relief passage 64 is provided lengthwise through the member 60 to relieve any undesired pressure within the member 30 which might otherwise develop or occur. It is to be noted that the outer surface of the ange 62 is also coated with Teflon, the coating of said flange being done at the same time the member 30 is coated with this material.
- the diameter of the portion Se is substantially less than the diameter of the cylindrical bore or inside diameter of the barrel body 14 so that there is a generous clearance or space between the periphery of the portion 56 and the adjacent part of said barrel body bore.
- This generous clearance also provides ready mixing and clean up of the syringe, which is especially important in getting uncontaminated samples of gas.
- the end portion 56 also provides another advantage by spacing the flange 4S away from the closed end of the barrel. Since a portion of the closed end of the barrel is usually deformed a little, flange 48 is spaced away from the wall le sufficiently so that it does not enter this deformed barrel portion and operates in the undeformed portion of the barrel. Consequently, the flange 48 is at all times in sealing contact with such undeformed barrel portion. It is therefore possible to space the end of the scale adjacent the closed end of the barrel longitudinally away from the wall 16 and start the scale at a part of the barrel that is undeformed. Consequently extreme accuracy is possible because the scale is on only the undeformed part of the barrel body 14 and the flange 48 functions only in such part of the body 14.
- the part 46 is of sufficiently reduced diameter so as to provide some flexibility to that part of the Teflon tip or head that extends forwardly of the inner end of the member 30. With such slight clearance any misalignment of the Teflon coated plunger will not cause leakage of fluid past, or damage to the sealing edges of the flange 48.
- the diameter of the part 46 determines the width of the annular flange 48 between the cylindrical plane of the part 46 and the periphery of said fiange and is important in connection with the sealing action of the sealing flange 48.
- the flange 48 has what may be termed a rotational action about an indeterminate point at 68 in FIG. 3. This point actually indicates the general local region which serves as a fulcrum for said flange 48. Actually this fulcrum region is an annular region of the flange 48 which is determined by the width of said flange 48, the thickness of the flange 48 at 54 and the length of the outer surface 52 of the flange 48.
- the length of the peripheral surface S0 is sutiicient so that fluid under the pressures developed in the use of the device will not blow by the sealing flange 48, but such surface should be relatively short in order to secure maximum unit pressure of the sealing part of the flange 48 against the wall of the bore in body 14, resulting from the rotating or pivoting action of the flange 48 from the region 68, as above described.
- the thickness 54 of the flange 48 is sufficient to give firm compression of said flange against the inner surface or wall of the bore of the barrel body 14. The thicker the flange at 54, the greater the compression of the flange on the bore wall and the greater the resistance to movement of the plunger.
- thumbnail spinning which will tilt the feather edges 70 and 72 and produce the shape of the edges 70 and 72 shown for the edge 70 in FIG. 5.
- a thumb nail or a linger nail is pressed against the edge 70 and the plunger rotated.
- the edge 72 may also be thus treated. After such spinning, these edges become highly effective sealing rings and may be repeatedly spun as necessary.

The characteristics and advantages of the invention are further suiciently referred to in connection with the following detailed description of the accompanying drawings which represent one embodiment. After considering this example, skilled persons will understand that variations may be made without departing from the principles disclosed, and l contemplate the employment of any structures, arrangements or modes of operation that are properly within the scope oi the appended ciaims.
Referring to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only,
FlG. l is a side view of a syringe embodying the present invention; Y 1
FIG. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the device showing the plunger in side elevation but with a portion thereof broken away; r
FIG. V3 is an enlarged longitudinal section or" the forward end of the plunger;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4 4 of FlG. V2; and p FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section of a portion of the sealing flange.
Patented Sept. 29, 1964 Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is shown a syringe having a barrel, indicated generally at 10, with a plunger, indicated generally at l2, operably disposed therein.
The barrel 10 is of any suitable material such as transparent glass for example, and includes a hollow cylindrical body or body portion 14 with a wall 16 closing one end and from which a tip or nipple 1.8 extends axially outwardly adapted for attachment of a hypodermic needle or the like, not shown, there being a fluid passage 20 extending from the interior of the barrel body and throughthe nipple. The end of the barrel body opposite the wall 16 is fully open and is provided with an outwardly extending iange 22 which serves as a handle for engagement by the fingers of the operator of the device when forcing the plunger 12 inwardly. if desired, the iiange may be oval in shape with oppositely arranged generally parallel sides which prevent the device from rolling when placed on a flat surface.
A scale 24 is provided on the exterior of the barrel body portion 14, said scale being very accurately calibrated, having an accuracy of 1% or better. v
The plunger 12 comprises a tubular member 30 of suitable length and material. Stainless steel has been found to be particularly suitable for this part of the plunger although it may be of other material. The exterior of the plunger member 3) is provided with a thin coating 32 of Teflon which may be sprayed on or otherwise applied, the outside diameter of the member 3@ and its coating 32V is somewhat smaller than the inside diameter ot the body 14 of the barrel. The Tellen coating 32 is corrosion resistant and provides an exterior surface that slides smoothly and substantially without friction within the body 14 of the barrel 10.
At one end of the member 30 there is a plunger head indicated generally at 3d, of suitable plastic material. Du Ponts Teilen which is the registered trademark for its iuorocarbon resins, including the TFE (tetraluoroethylene) resins, having been found to meet the strict requirements of scientific laboratories, the TFE resins having been found to be very satisfactory.
The part 36 is further secured within the member 35) by a suitable adhesive such as, for example, epoxy cement which is applied to the exterior of the support partv prior to its being pressed into the member 30.
The interior surface of the member 30 engaged by the part 35 may be roughened somewhat by any suitable known means to insure maximum adhesion of the cement thereto. Also the support part 36 is externally grooved for reception of adhesive therein, there being a plurality of grooves, indicated at 38, which are spaced apart longitudinally of the support part 36. The cement is indicated at 4u. To provide maximum adhesion of the cement to the exterior surface of the support part 36, said surface is roughened by any suitable means.
At the outer end of the anchoring and/ or support part 36 there is an outwardly or radially extending flange M- of somewhat smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the barrel body 14 so as to provide clearance and freedom of movement ofthe plunger. It has been found that excellent results are provided by having the flange 44 approximately .001 to .002 smaller in diameter than the inside diameter of said barrel body i4.
From ange 44 there extends axially outwardly a reduced diameter part 46 intermediate the ends of which there is a radially extending annular flange, indicated generally at 48, which may be termed the sealing flange. A peripheral portion of flange 4S is flared radially outwardly, as viewed in cross section, thereby providing a longitudinally lengthened peripheral part 50.
The outer peripheral surface 52 of the flange 48 is cylindrical, the diameter of said flange being the diameter of the interior bore of the barrel body 14 plus .001 to .003, depending upon the size of the syringe, the thickness of the unflared part of the flange 48, indicated at the double pointed dimension indicating arrow 54, and the length of the outer peripheral part 50 of the flange 48, the diameter of the flange 48 being the compression dimension.
The free end portion 56 of the reduced diameter part 46 extends forwardly of the ange 48 with the free end 58 of portion 56 in engagement with the inner side of the wall 16 to limit inward movement of the plunger when the latter is pushed fully inwardly. Thus the flange 48 is spaced inwardly of the wall 1e when said plunger is at its inward limit of movement.
A pressure member 60 is provided at the outer end of the plunger body, said member 60 being of any suitable material such as hard plastic or the like. Member 60 is pressed into the outer end portion of the plunger memer 30 and secured therein by any suitable means such as an adhesive. Epoxy cement does very well for this purpose. At the outer end of the member 60 there is a radially extending annular flange 62 against which pressure is exerted by the users thumb or other part of the hand when forcing the plunger inwardly. A relief passage 64 is provided lengthwise through the member 60 to relieve any undesired pressure within the member 30 which might otherwise develop or occur. It is to be noted that the outer surface of the ange 62 is also coated with Teflon, the coating of said flange being done at the same time the member 30 is coated with this material.
The diameter of the portion Se is substantially less than the diameter of the cylindrical bore or inside diameter of the barrel body 14 so that there is a generous clearance or space between the periphery of the portion 56 and the adjacent part of said barrel body bore. Thus the user will automatically read the scale 24 at the leading edge of the lengthened part 50 of the flange 48. This generous clearance also provides ready mixing and clean up of the syringe, which is especially important in getting uncontaminated samples of gas.
The end portion 56 also provides another advantage by spacing the flange 4S away from the closed end of the barrel. Since a portion of the closed end of the barrel is usually deformed a little, flange 48 is spaced away from the wall le sufficiently so that it does not enter this deformed barrel portion and operates in the undeformed portion of the barrel. Consequently, the flange 48 is at all times in sealing contact with such undeformed barrel portion. It is therefore possible to space the end of the scale adjacent the closed end of the barrel longitudinally away from the wall 16 and start the scale at a part of the barrel that is undeformed. Consequently extreme accuracy is possible because the scale is on only the undeformed part of the barrel body 14 and the flange 48 functions only in such part of the body 14.
The part 46 is of sufficiently reduced diameter so as to provide some flexibility to that part of the Teflon tip or head that extends forwardly of the inner end of the member 30. With such slight clearance any misalignment of the Teflon coated plunger will not cause leakage of fluid past, or damage to the sealing edges of the flange 48.
The diameter of the part 46, particularly that portion between the anges 44 and 48, determines the width of the annular flange 48 between the cylindrical plane of the part 46 and the periphery of said fiange and is important in connection with the sealing action of the sealing flange 48.
When the plunger is pushed inwardly from an outer position, pressure is developed ahead of the sealing flange 43 which is exerted in the direction indicated by the arrow l), FIG. 3. This pressure causes the ange 48 to be urged rearwardly and results in a slight forcing backwardly or rearwardly of said flange 48, the greatest amount of this rearward movement being at the periphery thereof.
Viewing the head 34 in longitudinal section, as in FIG. 3, the flange 48 has what may be termed a rotational action about an indeterminate point at 68 in FIG. 3. This point actually indicates the general local region which serves as a fulcrum for said flange 48. Actually this fulcrum region is an annular region of the flange 48 which is determined by the width of said flange 48, the thickness of the flange 48 at 54 and the length of the outer surface 52 of the flange 48.
With rearwardly movement of the flange 48 there is a tendency of the outer part 50 to tilt but the entire peripheral, cylindrical surface 52 will remain in contact with the bore wall although the leading edge 70 of the peripheral part 50 is urged with increased force against said bore wall with increased pressure on the plunger thereby increasing the sealing action between said flange 48 and the bore wall.
The length of the peripheral surface S0 is sutiicient so that fluid under the pressures developed in the use of the device will not blow by the sealing flange 48, but such surface should be relatively short in order to secure maximum unit pressure of the sealing part of the flange 48 against the wall of the bore in body 14, resulting from the rotating or pivoting action of the flange 48 from the region 68, as above described.
The thickness 54 of the flange 48 is sufficient to give firm compression of said flange against the inner surface or wall of the bore of the barrel body 14. The thicker the flange at 54, the greater the compression of the flange on the bore wall and the greater the resistance to movement of the plunger.
When the plunger is moved outwardly in the barrel body 14 suction on the front or inner surface of the flange 48 tends to cause a reverse rotation or pivoting at the region 68 with a corresponding but reverse action of the part 50 of the flange 48. In other words, the flange 48 is pulled toward the forward end of the barrel and the edge 72 is urged into tighter sealing engagement with the wall of the bore in barrel 14.
The length of the sealing life of the plunger is greatly increased by thumbnail spinning which will tilt the feather edges 70 and 72 and produce the shape of the edges 70 and 72 shown for the edge 70 in FIG. 5. In other words, a thumb nail or a linger nail is pressed against the edge 70 and the plunger rotated. The edge 72 may also be thus treated. After such spinning, these edges become highly effective sealing rings and may be repeatedly spun as necessary.
The invention and its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof or sacrificing its material advantages, the embodiment hereinbefore described being merely by way of example.
