  • Patent number: 4919657
    Abstract: A reusable dental syringe including a conventional medication filled carpule and a conventional double ended needle cannula which is to be retracted into a compact enclosure to permit the safe handling and disposal of the cannula while avoiding an accidental needle stick and the possible spread of disease. The carpule is inserted into a hollow carpule adapter to engage a movable needle carrier at the distal end of the adapter. The combination carpule and adapter are loaded into the cylinder of the syringe, and the needle cannula is attached to the needle carrier to penetrate the carpule. At the conclusion of an injection, the combination carpule and carpule adapter are rotated outwardly from the syringe cylinder, and the carpule is then pulled rearwardly through the adapter, whereby to correspondingly relocate and anchor the movable needle carrier at the proximal end of the adapter.

  • Patent number: 4392491
    Abstract: This invention relates to an injector with a cartridge for a liquid medicine, which is suitable as a throwaway type or a re-use type, and especially displays remarkable effects at urgent occasions. This injector substantially comprises an injector tube housing a cartridge into a body thereof and a cylinder slidably supporting a piston such that it is not removed therefrom at its end portion and in the injector tube by its front half part. Further, the cartridge is equipped with a concave on its bottom and the piston is equipped with a convex on its head for engaging means. The needle portion comprises an injecting needle and a hollow needle inwardly extending from the needle. If the needle portion is urged while it is fitted to the injector tube, the hollow needle pierces the cartridge and reaches the liquid medicine in the cartridge. The cylinder is defined with a stopper at its circumferential edge to restrain the piston with respect to the cylinder.
