Safety syringe description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hypodermic syringe, and more
particularly to a safety syringe, which is easy to draw the needle
back after injection but the needle holder is fixed secured in the
barrel when injecting.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional safety syringe, which can draw the needle into the
barrel, usually provides the needle holder a little position force
for the needle holder is easy to run back into the barrel while
an external force is exerted on the needle holder.
There were many inventions to fix the problem as described above,
such as provides double locking devices to secure the needle holder.
These inventions usually have complex structure and sometime they
can not work correctly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a safety
syringe, which can fixed secure the needle holder in the barrel.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a safety
syringe, which is easy to draw the needle holder into the barrel.
According to the objective of the present invention, a safety syringe
comprises a barrel, which has a body, a receiving hole in the body,
a front opening at an end of the body and a stop portion in the
receiving hole. A needle holder has a hole therein, an elastic lock
piece has a claw at distal end, and a dragged portion. The needle
holder is to mount a needle. The needle holder is received in the
receiving hole of the barrel for the claw can lock with the stop
portion in the receiving hole. A supporter, which has a aperture,
is slidable received in the hole of the needle holder. And a plunger
set has a bumper to move away the supporter and withdraw the needle
holder.
For better use, the plunger set may comprises a plunger and a stopper.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Please refer to FIGS. 1-4 a safety syringe of the prefer embodiment
of the present invention, which is to mount a needle 8 comprises:
A barrel 10 has a body 11 which has a receiving hole 12 therein.
The body 11 has a stop flange 13 at front end of the receiving hole
12. A front opening 14 is formed at central of the stop flange 13.
A stop portion 15 formed cone-shaped is disposed in the receiving
hole 12 behind the stop flange 13 which has a sliding face 16 on
the sidewall of the receiving hole 12. A hold portion 17 at rear
end of the body 11 and a retaining portion 18 in rear side of the
receiving hole 12.
A needle holder 20 has an engage portion 21 and a seal ring 22
at rear end thereof, an extend tube 23 at rear end of the engage
portion 21 a needle receiver 29 at front end of the engage portion
21 for fit the needle 8 a hole 27 passing through the extend tube
23 and the engage portion 21. The engage portion 21 has. The extend
tube 23 has two elastic lock pieces 24 thereon, each of which has
a claw 25 at distal end thereof, and a dragged portion 26 at exterior
side thereof. Each claw 25 has a sliding face 251 thereon. The hole
27 has a locating ring 28 on the interior sidewall thereof.
The needle holder 20 is received in the receiving hole 12 of the
barrel 10. The seal ring 22 is against the sidewall of the receiving
hole 12 to provide watertight capacity. The claws 25 are locked
by the stop portion 15 to position the needle holder 20 in the receiving
hole 12 of the barrel 10.
A supporter 30 has a body 31 a position slot 32 at exterior side
of the body 31 and a tunnel 33 passing through the body 31. The
supporter 30 is received in the 31 hole 27 of the needle holder
20 in slight interference fit. But the supporter 30 still can be
driven to slide in the hole 27. In initial, the supporter 30 supports
the elastic lock pieces 24 of the needle holder 20 to make the claws
25 can not escape from the stop portion 15 of the barrel 10. Thus,
the needle holder 20 is fixed secured in the receiving hole 12 of
the barrel 10.
A stopper 40 has a body 41 which is opening at front end. The
body 41 has a seal ring 42 at exterior side, a drag portion 43 at
interior side, a bumper 45 at central extending out of the opening
end and a plunger connector 46 at rear end. The stopper 40 is received
in the receiving hole 12 of the barrel 10 with the seal ring 42
being against the sidewall of the receiving hole 12 to provide watertight
capacity. The stopper 40 can slide in the receiving hole 12.
A plunger 50 has a shank 51 which has a stopper connector 52 at
an end thereof and a push-pull portion 59 at the other end thereof.
The plunger 50 is inserted into the receiving hole 12 of the barrel
10 with the stopper connector 52 buckling the plunger connector
46 of the stopper 40.
In assembly, put the supporter 30 inside the receiving hole 12
of the needle holder 20 then put the needle holder 20 into the
receiving hole 12 of the barrel 10 and let the claws 25 of the
needle holder 20 fit to the sliding face 16 of the barrel 10.
Then, insert the stopper 40 and plunger 50 into the receiving hole
12 of the barrel 10 in order, an let the stopper connector 52 buckling
the plunger connector 46 of the stopper 40.
In use, please refer to FIG. 2 liquid drug (not shown) can be
received in the receiving hole 12 of the barrel 10 between the stopper
40 and the needle holder 20.
FIG. 5 shows the safety syringe had injected drug. The supporter
30 is pushed by the bumper 45 of the stopper 40 to slide more inside
of the hole 27 of the needle holder 20 the elastic lock pieces
24 of the needle holder 20 are no longer support by the supporter
30 anymore, and the drag portion 43 of the stopper 40 catch the
dragged portion 26 of the needle holder 20.
Please refer to FIG. 6 when withdraw the plunger 50 with the stopper
40 the needle holder 20 can be moved for the sliding face 251 of
the claw 25 being slide with the sliding face 16 of the barrel 10
and the elastic lock pieces 24 of the needle holder 20 bent inward,
so the needle holder 20 can be moved along with the stopper 40 easily.
As shown in FIG. 7 the stopper 40 will be stopped by the retaining
portion 18 of said barrel 10 user may exert a larger force on the
plunger 50 to make the plunger 50 departing from the stopper 40.
In addition, the stopper and the plunger can be made as a unit
(not shown), and the plunger can be broken after being pulled back.
FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b show two alternations of the sliding faces
16A and 16B of the barrel has curved face outwards and inwards.
It is same, FIG. 9a and FIG. 9b show two alternations of the sliding
faces 251A and 251B of the needle holder has curved face outwards
and inwards.
FIG. 10 shows an alternation of the dragged portion 26A, which
is a hook-like element located at the sidewall of the hole of the
needle holder, and the drag portion 43A, which a hook-like element
at exterior side of the stopper.
FIG. 11 shows an alternation of the elastic lock piece 24A, which
extends to the rear end of the needle holder, and the dragged portion
26B is a slot around the sidewall of the hole of the needle holder.
By the description of embodiments above, the advantages of the
present invention are:
1. The safety syringe of the present invention provides the supporter
in the needle holder to make the needle holder being fixed secured
in the barrel before injection.
2. The safety syringe of the present invention is easy to draw
the needle holder back smoothly and power-save after injection.
