Publication number: 20040116893Abstract: A syringe interface or adapter includes a first retaining member that pivots about an axis generally perpendicular to and offset from the axis of an injector piston when the syringe interface is attached to the injector. The first retaining member pivots in a rearward direction to engage a portion of the syringe flange. The syringe interface further includes a second retaining member slideably positioned within a passage in the syringe interface to slide in a direction generally perpendicular to the axis of the piston when the syringe interface is attached to the injector to engage a portion of the syringe flange. The first retaining member and the second retaining member preferably cooperate to engage the syringe flange around the entire perimeter of the syringe flange. The first retaining member is preferably biased toward an open position. The syringe interface can also include a rear portion having an attachment mechanism to attach the syringe interface to the injector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2003Publication date: June 17, 2004Inventors: Michael A. Spohn, James Albert Dedig, David H Berry, Glen P Williams

Patent number: 6743205Abstract: An adapter includes a syringe carrier adapted to seat at least a portion of the syringe. The syringe carrier includes at least one rearward facing abutment member to abut at least one forward facing surface on a syringe. The syringe carrier includes an opening therein to allow a drive member of an injector to communicate forward force to the plunger through abutment without connective engagement between the drive member and the plunger. The adapter further includes a releasable mounting mechanism positioned to the rear of the syringe carrier to mount the adapter in a desired position relative to the front wall of the injector.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Medrad, Inc.Inventors: William J. Nolan, Jr., Michael A. Spohn, John A. Haury, Anthony S. McCoppin, Frank A. Lazzaro, Robert J. Ashcraft, Jr., James Albert Dedig, Christopher J. Blue, David H. Berry

Patent number: 6716195Abstract: An adapter for releasably attaching a syringe to an injector includes a first section and a second section connected about a hinge axis that is generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the adapter. The first section and the second section are rotatable about the hinge axis between an open position to allow loading of the syringe into the adapter from a position to the rear of the hinge axis and a closed position to retain the syringe therein. The hinge axis is preferably off-center from the longitudinal axis of the adapter and the adapter further includes a releasable mounting mechanism positioned on a rearward end of the adapter to mount the adapter in a desired position relative to the front wall of the injector.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Medrad, Inc.Inventors: William J. Nolan, Jr., Michael A. Spohn, John Haury, Anthony S. McCoppin, Frank A. Lazzaro, Robert J. Ashcraft, Jr., James Albert Dedig, Christopher J. Blue, David H. Berry

Patent number: 5143666Abstract: An elastomeric strip of substantially U-shaped cross-section is disclosed which is adapted to be mounted on a flange having longitudinally-spaced curved sections. The elastomeric strip includes a support frame having longitudinally displaceable frame portions that are reinforced with longitudinally extending degradable reinforcing material. The reinforced support frame is advanced through an extrusion die where a coating of an elastomeric material is extruded on the support frame to form an elastomeric strip without degrading the degradable material. Longitudinally-spaced regions of the degradable reinforcing material corresponding to the longitudinally-spaced curved sections of the flange are then degraded, allowing the elastomeric strip to more faithfully follow the curved sections of the flange when the strip is mounted thereon.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1991Date of Patent: September 1, 1992Assignee: Schlegel CorporationInventors: Michael J. McManus, David H. Berry, Harold P. Dover
