  • Patent number: 11872366
    Abstract: A connecting structure for medical use includes a male assembly 1 and a female connector 2. The male assembly 1 includes a male connector 10 and a threadedly engageable cylinder 20. A male luer portion 11 of the male connector 10 and a female luer portion 2a of the female connector 2 are joined by turning the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 in a tightening direction in a state where a female screw 21a of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 and an engageable protrusion 2c of the female connector 2 are threadedly engaged with each other. A torque limiting mechanism 50 is disposed between an operation cylinder 30 mounted on an outer periphery of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 and the threadedly engageable cylinder 20. Engageable teeth 51 are formed in an inner periphery of one end portion of the operation cylinder 30 over an entire periphery. A slit 54 is formed in one end portion of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20.

  • Publication number: 20210213271
    Abstract: A male connecting device for medical use 1 includes a male connector 10 having a cylindrical configuration and a threadedly engageable cylinder 20 rotatably coupled to the male connector 10. A male luer portion 11 of the male connector 10 and a female luer portion 2a of the female connector 2 are joined by turning the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 in a tightening direction T. The male connecting device 1 further includes a loosening prevention mechanism 40 that prohibits rotation of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 in a loosening direction L with respect to the male connector 10. The loosening prevention mechanism 40 includes ratchet teeth 41 formed in an inner periphery of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20, an elastic leaf 42 formed in the male connector 10 and extends in a circumferential direction and an engageable claw 43 protruded from a free end of the elastic leaf 42 and engageable with the ratchet teeth 41.

  • Patent number: 10682506
    Abstract: A connecting structure for medical use includes a male assembly (1) and a female connector (2) having a cylindrical configuration. The male assembly (1) includes a male connector (10) having a cylindrical configuration and a threadedly engageable cylinder (20) rotatably coupled to the male connector (10). A male luer portion (11) of the male connector (10) and a female luer portion (2a) of the female connector (2) are joined by turning the threadedly engageable cylinder (20) in a tightening direction when a female screw (21a) of the threadedly engageable cylinder (20) and an engageable protrusion (2c) of the female connector (2) are threadedly engaged with each other. The connecting structure for medical use further includes a loosening prevention mechanism (30) that prohibits rotation of the threadedly engageable cylinder (20) in a loosening direction with respect to the male connector (10) when the male luer portion (11) and the female luer portion (2a) are joined.
