Publication number: 20120253283Abstract: Provided is a injection equipment capable of alleviating the force required of a user to inject a medical liquid. A housing chamber S1 for extrusion and a housing chamber S2 for injection are mutually connected so that, when one of the chambers S1, S2 expands, the other one of the chambers contracts. As a result of switching a switching valve 9 to an open position in a state where at least a predetermined amount of the medical liquid is filled in the housing chamber S2, the housing chamber S2 for injection is contracted based on the expansion of the housing chamber S1 for extrusion according to the discharge pressure of the medical liquid pump 2 so as to deliver a predetermined amount of medical liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2010Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: DAIKEN IKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Keiichi Yamada, Masayuki Uruma, Masaki Hiramatsu

Patent number: 8221481Abstract: A brain cooling device is provided to cool the brain sufficiently to the subcortical tissue in a short time. The device includes a cuff (3) capable of storing therein a cooled fluid and placeable in the esophagus (H1) of the patient (H) when inserted orally or transnasally. A tube (2) extends from the cuff (3) for infusing the fluid into the cuff (3) placed in the esophagus (H1) from outside the body of the patient H and discharging the fluid from the cuff (3). The cuff (3) has flexibility so as to inflate or deflate in response to infusion or discharge of the fluid and is configured in such a manner that when the fluid is infused therein while placed in the esophagus (H1), the cuff (3) that has been inflated comes into close contact with the inner wall (H4) of the esophagus (H1).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignees: National University Corporation Okayama University, Daiken Iki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshimasa Takeda, Kiyoshi Morita, Kouji Yoshida, Takeharu Kobayashi

Patent number: 7635359Abstract: Disclosed is a receptacle for use with a medical suction device which is equipped with a cover body and an external case for detachably holding and air-tightly surrounding the receptacle and a patient-side tube for introducing waste liquid into the receptacle, and designed to create a negative pressure in both an interior space of the cover body and the external case and an interior space of the receptacle so as to allow waste liquid to be sucked into the receptacle through the patient-side tube. The receptacle has an air-pervious/liquid-impervious element having air perviousness and liquid imperviousness. The air-pervious/liquid-impervious element at least partly constitutes a portion of the receptacle to be surrounded by the cover body and the external case.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2004Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Daiken Iki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hajime Nakazawa, Hiroaki Takimoto

Patent number: 6270483Abstract: A compact liquid discharge regulator is provided at low cost by arranging a channel spirally formed in the surf ace of a passage forming member. The surface of the passage forming member is brought into close contact with the inner surface of a housing part, and the channel functions as a liquid passage. In this construction, the sectional form and length of the channel can be formed at high precision in accordance with the design. Therefore, a desired pipe loss is obtainable only by designing in advance the sectional form and length of the channel so as to correspond to the pipe loss. Particularly, with injection molding, mass production of a passage forming member of identical pipe loss can be effected merely by preparing a mold corresponding to the pipe loss, thus leading to a considerable reduction in the manufacturing cost of the discharge regulator.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1999Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Daiken Iki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keiichi Yamada, Mitsuyoshi Inoue, Hajime Nakazawa, Atsushi Yamamoto, Tatsuji Higashi
