Publication number: 20160175541Abstract: A replaceable needle assembly is provided for a retractable, prefilled syringe comprising a barrel having a mounting member and a plunger, whereby the retractable needle can be replaced by a user without affecting the retraction mechanism. The replaceable needle assembly comprises a needle fitted to a retractable needle mount and a needle retainer. The needle mount is removably, screw-threadedly mountable to the mounting member of the barrel. The needle retainer comprises a plurality of fingers that releasably engage the retractable needle to thereby prevent inadvertent retraction of the retractable needle before engagement by the plunger. The plunger comprises a plunger seal comprising an outer member and an inner member that engages the needle for spring-driven retraction. At the end of retraction, a lock is formed between the plunger and barrel to prevent re-use of the syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2016Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicant: Unitract Syringe Pty LtdInventors: Craig Stephen Thorley, Joseph Hermes Kaal, Christopher Charles Rafferty, Ian Johnson, Eric Siu, Andrew Reade

Patent number: 9254365Abstract: A replaceable needle assembly is provided for a retractable syringe comprising a barrel and a plunger, whereby the retractable needle can be replaced by a user without affecting the retraction mechanism. A mounting member is removably mountable to the barrel by way of a screw-thread connection and a needle mount is removably coupled to the mounting member. A needle is mounted to the needle mount. The barrel comprises a needle mount retainer that comprises a plurality of fingers that engage the retractable needle mount to prevent inadvertent retraction. The plunger comprises a collapsible seal which maximizes the efficiency of fluid delivery prior to the plunger engaging the retractable needle mount for retraction. An initially compressed spring decompresses to drive retraction of the plunger and the engaged needle mount. A lock formed between the plunger and barrel prevents further use of the plunger after retraction.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: UNITRACT SYRINGE PTY LTDInventors: Craig Stephen Thorley, Joseph Hermes Kaal, Ian Johnson, Andrew Reade, Eric Siu, Richard Sokolov, Christopher Dunn

Publication number: 20140035646Abstract: A phase shift generation circuit has an edge detector for generating first and second edge signals indicating first and second edges of an input pulse signal. The circuit comprises a divide by N circuit that divides the frequency of a first clock signal by N. The circuit comprises a pulse counter, which receives the first edge signal and the second clock signal, and outputs a group of signals representing the number of the second clock pulses between occurrences of the first edge signal. The circuit has a first recycling timer that outputs a group of pulses as a uniformly spaced group across the period of the input pulse. The circuit also has a second recycling timer that outputs a group of pulses as a uniformly spaced group across the period of the input pulse. The first and second recycling timers are used to generate a phase shifted output pulse.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: Supertex, Inc.Inventors: James T. WALKER, Andrew Read
