Definitions
- This invention relates to hollow-needle devices such as hypodermic syringes and body fluid samplers; and has particular relevance to such devices with provision for automatic full retraction of the hollow-needle after use for device contents expression, usually after a single such use.
- a hollow-needle device comprising a hollow plunger, a body part affording a cylindrical chamber within which the plunger is sealingly slidable, a hollow-needle carrying hub for automatic retraction into the plunger, and a holding provision internally of the plunger for the hub after retraction, the holding provision comprising a part deflectable internally of the hollow plunger and into obstruction of any return of the retracted hub. Preferably, any such return will cause further obstructing deflection of said part.
- Such part may be integrally formed with the plunger, say as a tongue formation displaceable from walling of the plunger.
- tongue formation may be as a localised thinning and partial separation of walling of the plunger, say remaining connected to such walling only at an end that is downstream relative to contents expression movement of the plunger .
- deflectable part is deflected into hub return obstruction before hub retraction, and another opposite partial deflection is required as a latching action at end of hub retraction.
- This successively opposite deflection action can be achieved by way of first deflection by a bump formation spaced from origin, axis or hinge for first deflection and second deflection with said bump formation as origin, axis or hinge therefor.
- bump formation may further advantageously be fixed preferably integral with the deflectable part.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal axial sectional view through a syringe-type hollow-needle device 100 with plunger end-sealing as taught herein;
- Figure 2 is a cross section at X-X of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a scrap section showing plunger formation for the purposes hereof ;
- Figures 4A and 4B are scrap sections showing plunger/ outer body part cooperation and hub latching, respectively.
- the hollow-needle syringe-type device 100 has an advantageously one-piece moulded outer body part of elongate hollow conveniently circular cylindrical form that presents a main chamber 101 within which a hollow plunger 105 is sealingly slidable, a forward or extension chamber 110 to a hollow-needle exit nose 111 and housing a retraction spring 112; and internal deflectable arm-type latching formations 115 to hold a needle-carrying hub 120 until released by deflection for needle retraction when engaged by end 106 of the plunger 105.
- the device 100 is generally as disclosed in published PCT patent specification No WO 92/18187, including convenient outer body part steppings shown at 113 from the main chamber 101 to the forward or extension chamber 110 and at 114 from the latter to the nose 111, and end grip flanging 107 to cooperate with end flanging 108 of the plunger 105.
- Inner end formation of the plunger 105 includes outer peripheral bead 105B that can usefully make a direct sliding seal in compressive engagement by interior of the main chamber 101, and is end-tapered at 105T to cooperate with end-tapering 115T to inward latching teeth 116 at ends of the deflectable arms 115.
- the arms 115 are shown extending from tapered stepping 113 in localised accommodations 117 between reductions 118 of the outer body part, and the teeth 116 capture head 12OH of top-hat or T- section needle-carrying hub 120 with retraction spring 112 held retracted about stem 120S of the hub 120.
- the plunger 105 is preferably latched when fully entrant the outer body part, see cooperating rib and groove formations 123, 124.
- Positive latching provision 140 for latching the hub afer retraction is shown involving at least one tongue formation 141 in walling 142 of the plunger 105.
- the walling 142 is generally thinned at the tongue formation 143 and mostly separated therefrom at 144 to remain connected only at one end 145.
- the separated opposite end 146 is spaced from closed flange-bearing end 147 of the plunger by more than enough to accommodate at least the head 121 of the needle-carrying hub 120.
- a rectangular tongue formation 141 would thus be separated 144 from the plunger walling 142 over three sides and connected 145 only at the fourth side.
- the tongue formation 141 has a medial outer bump formation 148 shown nearer its connected end 145 than its free end 146, and this bump formation 148 extends beyond unthinned thickness of the plunger walling 142.
- the bump formation 148 will engage inner surface of walling of the outer body part and the tongue formation 141 will be deflected about origin, axis or hinge at 145 and into interior of the hollow plunger 105. This deflection will take the free end 146 of the tongue formation 141 into obstructive relation to the needle-carrying hub head 121.
- the needle-carrying hub 120 At end of such contents expression sroke of the plunger 105, the needle-carrying hub 120 will be released and spring-driven into the plunger 105. When it reaches the deflected tongue formation 141, there will be a further and separate deflection of the tongue formation 141 this time with the bump formation 148 as origin, axis or hinge. Thereafter, of course, the needle-carrying hub head 121 will be positively latched and captured by the free end 146 of the tongue formation 141, and would be further deflected into such obstruction by any return movement of the hub 120.
