Patent number: 11446442Abstract: A gasket suitable for a syringe stopping with vacuum is provided. The gasket is compatible with sliding property within the sleeve and water-tightness of the syringe barrel after exiting the sleeve. The gasket includes a gasket body made of a liquid-resistant hard plastic having a tip surface contacting medicinal solution and a concave groove formed on a side surface facing an inner peripheral surface of a syringe barrel and formed continuously to the tip surface contacting medicinal solution; and a sliding contact ring made of an elastic material fitted in the concave groove. Then, an outer diameter D1 of a peripheral end of a tip portion including the tip surface contacting medicinal solution of the gasket body is set to be larger than the outer diameter D4 of the sliding contact ring.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: COKI ENGINEERING INC.Inventor: Akira Yotsutsuji

Publication number: 20150148751Abstract: [Objective]: To provide a low-cost piston member for syringes, with sufficiently satisfying slidability and sealing performance such as non-leakage and vapor impermeability, without size limitation, from small to large diameters. [Solution]: A piston member 10, such as a gasket 10a or a middle piston 10b, is formed by cut-processing a PTFE block and is press-fitted in a syringe barrel 1 to be slidably used. Protruded rims 13 are formed at least in a circumferential direction of perimeter of a slide-contact surface 11a adjacent to a liquid contact surface 14 of a drug solution 30, in a slide-contact surface 11 of the piston member 10, slidingly making contact with an inner circumferential surface 2 of the syringe barrel 1. After cut-processing, pitch P of the protruded rims 13 is 50 ?m or smaller, and press-fit margin T to the syringe barrel 1 is 10 to 150 ?m.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Inventor: Akira Yotsutsuji
