Publication number: 20230263964Abstract: A syringe and detachable needle assembly having reduced dead space features includes an elongate syringe barrel having open distal end including a collar and a distally facing annular surface projecting inwardly from the collar. A needle assembly includes a hub having a proximally facing annular surface and an outwardly projecting annular sealing ring positioned distally from the surface. The needle assembly also includes a cannula having a lumen therethrough connected to the distal end of the hub. Structure is provided for engaging the hub to the barrel resulting in the annular surface of the barrel contacting the annular surface of the hub to form a primary seal between said barrel and said hub and the annular sealing ring contacting the collar to form a secondary seal between the barrel and the hub.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Becton, Dickinsonand CompanyInventors: Christina D'Arrigo, Eric Schiller

Patent number: 10610647Abstract: The invention provides a syringe assembly comprising a syringe barrel having an inside surface defining a chamber, an open proximal end, and a distal end having an opening therethrough. An elongated plunger rod extends between a first end and a second end, with a cap or guard disposed on the first end of the plunger rod. A plunger head extends within the chamber of the syringe barrel, and is adapted for slidable movement within the syringe barrel between the proximal end and the distal end, with the second end of the plunger rod connected with the plunger head through a pivotable connection. The plunger rod is adapted to pivot with respect to the plunger head between a first position in which the guard is adjacent the distal end of the syringe barrel and a second position in which the plunger rod is in general axial alignment with the syringe barrel, and is further adapted for axial movement so as to cause sliding movement of the plunger head through the syringe barrel to expel contents thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventors: Flora Felsovalyi, Eric Schiller

Patent number: 10576209Abstract: A syringe assembly having a flexible and/or slidable flange is provided, wherein in a pre-use or packaged state, the flange is positioned substantially parallel to a barrel of the syringe assembly resulting in the syringe assembly having a smaller packaging footprint. The smaller packaging footprint allows for a reduced storage space of the syringe assembly. Upon removal from a packaging and/or the storage space, the flange can be slid and locked into place such that the flange extends in a perpendicular direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the barrel of the syringe assembly to allow for a traditional operation of the syringe assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventors: Chee Leong Lum, Eric Schiller

Patent number: 10398849Abstract: An injection aid for use with an injection device, such as a safety syringe, for example, is disclosed. The injection aid employs a flexible clip-based design to compensate for manufacturing tolerances associated with the injection device. The injection aid includes a body and a lever mounted to the body, the lever being configured to rotate about the body. The injection aid may further include gears rotate with rotation of the lever, and which function to remove a needle shield from the injection device. The body positions the injection device so as to ensure consistent injection depth.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMAPNYInventors: Eric Schiller, Prashant Kakade, Hiroo Noguchi, Takuji Harada, Hideo Fukushima

The smaller packaging footprint allows for a reduced storage space of the syringe assembly. Upon removal from a packaging and/or the storage space, the flange can be slid and locked into place such that the flange extends in a perpendicular direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the barrel of the syringe assembly to allow for a traditional operation of the syringe assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Chee Leong Lum, Eric Schiller

Patent number: 10183118Abstract: A stopper adapted for attachment with a plunger rod for use within a syringe barrel is disclosed. The stopper includes a main body defining an open rearward end and a closed front end. The open rearward end is adapted to receive a front forward end attachment portion of the plunger rod. The stopper also includes a core member integrally formed with the main body adjacent the closed front end. The core member includes a nose portion having a conical tip configured for entering an outlet opening of the syringe barrel. The closed front end of the stopper has a profile configured to cooperate with an internal surface of the syringe barrel wall to prevent reflux and reduce dead space within the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Michael Vincent Quinn, Eric Schiller, Gang Ju, E Guan
