  • Patent number: 5037393
    Abstract: A non-reusable syringe comprising a syringe body having a lower extremity closed by a base provided with a cone to receive a needle and a shaft terminated by a piston sliding tightly in the syringe body. A resilient flexible plate having a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the syringe body and thus inducing through its curvature a weak frictional force enabling the displacement of the shaft in a first direction and a strong frictional force opposing displacement of the shaft in the other direction is mounted in the shaft. To avoid attempted reuse of the syringe, a zone of weak resistance to breakage by traction is provided on the shaft. This zone break under a traction lower than the strong frictional force, but greater than the weak frictional force.
