  • Patent number: 5980494
    Abstract: A thermoplastic molded housing has a cylindrical bore with axial grooves and inclined camming surfaces extending about the bore surface. A plastic molded vial for receiving injectable fluid in a cavity receives a plunger therein for dispensing the fluid and for displacing the vial. The vial has a ratchet member with fixed ratchet teeth and tabs about its circumference which tabs and teeth form camming surfaces which cooperate with the housing camming surfaces. The tabs are aligned for reciprocating in the housing bore grooves. A ring is secured captured to the vial for rotation about the vial and for limited axial displacement along the vial longitudinal axis. A spring urges the ring and vial to the retracted position.
