Syringe needle descriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (1) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a safe syringe, particularly
to a safe cap for syringe needle head, wherein the needle head is
guided by the gradually enlarged funnel-shaped guiding surface so
that the needle head can be easily inserted into the cap under safe
condition.
[0003] (2) Description of the Related Prior Art
[0004] The accidents, that medical personnel using a syringe for
blood-drawing or medication injection are often pierced by careless
handling of used needle of the syringe, even worse, infected with
virus by this piercing from needle, have been uninterruptedly happened.
Therefore, it is not an overstatement that medical personnel belong
to a highly dangerous group of piercing accident by needle. In order
to prevent needle from accidental piercing, a pulling device is
provided at the front end of the plunger in the pushing direction,
which can be engaged with the needle head after the medical liquid
is pushed up, whereby the needle head is pulled and retracted into
the syringe by the pulling back of the plunger in reverse direction.
Then, all are disposed together. In ideal case, this type of syringe
can attain safety effect to a certain degree. However, the components
of this type of syringe are expensive due to their complicated structures,
which result in high cost for a disposable type of syringe.
[0005] A conventional syringe is shown in FIGS. 9-11. As shown
in FIG. 9 a conventional needle cap (10) is cylindrical in its
shape and has an opened end (12) and a closed end (14) with the
diameter of the opened end (12) being about the same as the diameter
of the closed end (14). As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 the inner diameter
of the opened end (12) of the cap (10) is fitted with the outer
diameter of the needle seated portion (18) of the syringe (16),
therefore the bore diameter of the opened end (12) is made relatively
small. When the needle seated portion (18) is intended to be inserted
into the cap (10) after the injection of syringe (16) is finished,
the needle head (19) is not easy to aim at the bore of the cap (10),
so that the needle might slip to pierce the medical personnel's
hand which holds the syringe (10), and cause the infection by virus.
Thus, the safety of conventional syringe still has room for further
improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] In view of the defects in using conventional injector, the
inventor of the present invention considers that injector should
have high safety at lowest cost in ideal case. Therefore, the object
of the invention is to provide a safety cap for syringe needle head
with low cost.
[0007] Above and other objects will be attained by the safety cap
for syringe needle head of present invention, comprising: a syringe
body, having a medication chamber for the filling of medical liquid,
one end of which can pressurize the medical liquid via a plunger,
while the other end is formed with a injecting bore, and a mounting
portion being formed at the injecting bore; a needle head, one end
of which has an engagement portion being engaged with said mounting
portion, the other end of which is fixedly attached with a needle
via a seated portion for the releasing of medical liquid; a cap
having an opened end and a closed end, and being capped on the outside
of the needle head to protect the needle; wherein the opened end
of the cap forms towards outside a funnel-shaped guiding portion
with gradual enlargement, and the inner diameter of the opening
end is tightly fitted with the outer diameter of the seated portion
of the needle head.
[0008] According to this invention, few parts of the structure
are changed in such a way that these changes do not procure cost-up.
By the guiding of the funnel-shaped guiding surface, the needle
head can be easily inserted into the cap under safe condition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0020] The technical features of the invention will be further
understood by the following detailed description of a preferred
embodiment. This preferred embodiment, merely for illustrative purpose,
not to limit the scope of present invention, will become more apparent
by the detailed description in conjunction with the following accompanied
drawings.
[0021] Firstly, referring to FIGS. 1 2 and 3 a safety cap 20
of a needle head of the first embodiment of present invention is
shown, while the concerned syringe has the conventional structure.
The syringe body 30 has a medication chamber 311 for the filling
of medical liquid, one end of which is provided with a plunger 312
the advancement of which in forward direction can pressurize the
medical liquid, while the other end being formed with a injecting
bore, and a mounting portion 313 being formed at the injecting bore;
a needle head 34 one end of which has an engagement portion 321
being engaged with said mounting portion 313 the other end of which
is fixedly attached with a needle 33 via a seated portion 32 for
the releasing of medical liquid (as shown in FIG. 3); a cap 20 having
an opened end 22 and a closed end 24 and being capped on the outside
of the needle head 34 to protect the needle portion 33. The difference
of the present invention from conventional structure is that the
opened end 22 of the cap 20 forms towards outside a funnel-shaped
guiding portion 26 having its bore size gradually enlarged, and
the inner diameter of the opened end 22 is tightly fitted with the
outer diameter of the seated portion 32 of the needle head 34(as
shown in FIGS. 1 and 2).
[0022] The safety cap 20 of needle head of the present invention
as shown in FIG. 4 cooperates with another type of syringe, such
as a drip-feed type of syringe etc., which comprises a chamber body
40 for the filling of medical liquid; a conduit 41 one end of which
is connected on the chamber body 40 for the delivery of medical
liquid, while the other end of which is formed with a mounting portion
42; a needle head 34 one end of which has an engagement portion
321 being engaged with said mounting portion 42 the other end of
which is fixedly attached with a needle portion 33 via a seated
portion 32 for the releasing of medical liquid; a cap 20 with an
opened end 22 and a closed end 24 and being capped on the outside
of the needle head 34 to protect the needle portion 33 and the
opened end 22 of the cap 20 forms towards outside a funnel-shaped
guiding portion 26 having its bore size being gradually increasing,
and the inner diameter of the opened end 22 is tightly fitted with
outer diameter of the seated portion 32 of the needle head 34.
[0023] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 the safety cap 20 of the needle
head of the second embodiment of present invention is shown. The
difference of this embodiment with the previous embodiment is that
the diameter of the bore 201 of the cap 20 is gradually decreased
from the opened end towards the closed end, and that a plurality
of ribs 221 extending in the axial direction are provided at equal
interval along inner circumferential direction of the opened end
22. A space formed by the encircling of the ribs 221 is tightly
fitted with the seated portion 32 of the needle head 34 (as shown
in FIG. 6). In addition, examples of the variation of the present
invention are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 respectively. The guiding
portion 26 of the cap 20 is formed of a funnel shape with its bore
diameter decreasing from outside towards the opened end 22. The
guiding portion 26 is allowed to have a radius of curvature, or
is constructed by cone-shaped surface with any different cone angle.
In these cases, it will become apparent to those who are skilled
in this art that both structures will not depart from the object
and effect of the present invention.
[0024] According to this invention, the guiding portion 26 in the
above embodiment is formed with an enlarged receiving bore at the
exterior of the cap 20 so that the cross sectional area of the receiving
bore is several times of that of the opened end 22. This will allow
the needle portion 33 of the needle head 34 to easily aim at the
target bore during insertion. Furthermore, the guiding portion 26
is formed with a funnel shape, the bore diameter of which is decreasing
from the outside towards the opened end 22. The needle 33 of the
needle head 34 can be guided easily to the bore of the opened end
22 so that the needle head 34 can be easily inserted into the cap
20 under safe condition.
[0025] Based on the foregoing, the safety cap for syringe needle
of this invention merely change partial structure of the conventional
cap without causing any additional cost-up. The needle head can
be guided by an enlarged funnel-shaped guiding surface so as to
be easily inserted into the cap with high safety. No doubt, it is
a novel, progressive invention having industrial availability.
[0026] The above-mentioned are preferred embodiments for illustrative
purpose only and should not be consider as limitation on the scope
of the present invention. It is evident that many alternatives,
modifications and variations will be embraced within the scope and
spirit of the present invention, which is clearly defined by the
appended claims. |
