  • Patent number: 5667494
    Abstract: An injection assembly, at least comprising a prefilled liquid container with an outflow opening, a piston displaceable in said liquid container with a piston rod and a piston head, an injection needle with a needle fitting which is or can be fixed in the outflow opening, and seling means, said needle fitting and the piston comprising coupling means which can be mutually coupled so as to allow the injection needle to be retracted into the liquid container after use of the assembly, the injection needle further comprising a protection cap with a passage for the needle, which cap is or can be permanently mounted on the outflow opening.

  • Patent number: 5573512
    Abstract: An infusion or transfusion needle assembly includes a hollow needle fixed to a needle holder. The needle holder is surrounded by a sheath such that the sheath and the needle holder are axially slidable relative to one another. Releasable detent locking means are provided between the needle holder and the sheath to positively prevent axial movement of the needle holder and needle relative to the sheath, thereby locking the needle in an extended position for insertion into the skin of a patient. Unlocking means are provided for releasing the releasable detent locking means, thereby permitting axial movement of the needle holder and needle relative to the sheath so that the needle is movable from the extended position to a fully retracted position within the sheath. Once the needle is fully retracted, permanent detent locking means become operative to positively and permanently maintain the needle in the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 5466226
    Abstract: An injection assembly comprising a liquid container with an outflow opening and a piston displaceable therein, a suction needle with a needle fitting which is adapted to be releasably fitted in the outflow opening of the liquid container, and an injection needle with a needle fitting which is adapted to be permanently fixed on the outflow opening of the liquid container, said assembly further comprising an auxiliary coupling part which is fixed in the outflow opening of the liquid container, which is connected with the needle fitting of the injection needle and which comprises second coupling means which are permanently coupled with the first coupling means of the piston in the presence of the injection needle, which coupling cannot take place in the presence of the suction needle.

  • Patent number: 5380286
    Abstract: A safety device for an injection syringe comprising an outer casing (1) defining an injection fluid space with a plunger (11) movable therein, said plunger being adapted to be coupled with a plunger rod (6) provided with an actuating knob or ring, while at the opposite end of said casing a needle foot (16) equipped with a hollow needle (15) may be fixed thereto in such a manner that the needle bore communicates with the interior of the fluid space, the needle foot (16) being movable inwards relative to the outer casing and adapted to be coupled to the piston in order that the needle may be retracted into said outer casing; the needle foot (16) and the casing (1) are provided with mutually engageable locking means for locking the needle foot (16) in its non-retracted position, and the plunger (11) or the plunger rod (6) and the needle (15) or the needle foot (16) are provided with means for coupling the plunger (11) or plunger rod (6) with the needle (15) or needle foot (16) and releasing the needle or needle

  • Patent number: 5364359
    Abstract: A safety assembly for an injection syringe, which syringe consists of a liquid container arranged or to be arranged within a casing (10) and having a piston (17) shiftable therein, a piston rod unit (1) provided with an external actuating element (3) and coupled or to be coupled with the piston, a needle foot (20) latched or to be latched at the other end of the casing with a hollow needle (27) communicating or to be communicated with the interior of the liquid container, said piston rod unit being provided with means (13) for unlatching the needle foot and to couple it with the piston rod unit, in order to allow to retract said foot together with the needle into the casing. According to the invention the piston rod unit comprises two parts (3, 5) which are mutually movable in the axial direction, one part being formed by the piston rod (1) or being connected thereto, and the other one comprising an unlatching element (8, 13, 22).

  • Patent number: 5263934
    Abstract: A syringe having a casing, a shiftable rod assembly, and a needle foot latched at a first end of the casing is disclosed. The syringe is equipped with a shiftable ring for limiting stroke length of the rod assembly in such a way to maintain the piston at a predetermined distance from the needle foot, and to increase the stroke length after a second outward shifting stroke of the piston for drawing in liquid, in such a way that upon a second inward shifting stroke of the piston for expulsion of the injection liquid, the piston will be coupled with the needle foot.
