Abstract: A rubber molded article which has a good visibility, prevent medical errors effectively by easily and certainly identifying injector or other containers containing medicinal agents which are used together with colored rubber molded articles, and prevent problems caused by dispersion of coloring agents into medicinal agents without harming the inherent properties of a rubber molded article like sealing performance. A colored film layer 4 is positioned in the interior portion and a transparent resin portion 5 extends from at least one surface of the colored film layer 4 to the outermost layer.

Abstract: There are provided an intermediate slide valve as well as a plunger slide valve equipped in a syringe in direct contact with injection liquids and a syringe equipped with such slide valves, the injection liquids nor valves being not affected with each other. The intermediate slide valve 10 equipped in the syringe 10 comprises an approximately cylindrical first elastic body 13 and an approximately cylindrical second elastic body 14 which is jointed with one bottom surface 13c of the first elastic body 13, the other bottom surface 13a of the first elastic body 13 and a side surface portion continued therefrom being laminated with a synthetic resin film 15 and the other bottom surface 14a of the second elastic body 14 and a side surface portion continued therefrom be laminated with a synthetic resin film 16.

Abstract: A container unit for a drug is composed of a container, which is formed of a cylindrical drug-solution-containing portion and a drug-solution-filling neck portion, and a rubber closure for sealing the drug-solution-filling neck portion. The rubber closure comprises a disk-shaped head portion and a substantially cylindrical leg portion arranged on a lower wall of the head portion. The container is provided with a flat surface formed on a side of its inner wall at a boundary between the drug-solution-containing portion and the drug-solution-filling neck portion such that a lower end wall of the leg portion of the rubber closure can be brought into close contact with the flat surface, and at least a side wall of the drug-solution-containing portion forms a cornerless, rounded surface on a side where a drug solution is to be contained.

Abstract: A sealing stopper or piston for a syringe which includes a skirt part that is capable of serving as a backstop device, and a prefilled syringe using the same. The skirt part provides a backstop function, i.e. it prevents reverse movement of the piston, without increasing production costs.

Abstract: There is provided a rubber stopper used to seal an opened portion of vials and syringes for keeping medical liquid and, in particular, to a rubber stopper in which stoppering properties can be improved without damaging sealing properties in the absence of silicone coating. A vial rubber stopper 1 comprises a disc-like top portion 3 and a cylindrical leg portion 2 of smaller diameter compared with that of the disc-like top portion, which is protruded from a bottom surface of the disc-like top portion 3 to shape into a flange 2A upward. An under-flange ring portion 3A connected to a flange bottom surface 2B is divided on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical leg portion 2, and the first ring-like raised portion 3B and the second ring-like raised portion 3C are formed downward of the under-flange ring portion 3A in the circumferential direction.

The intermediate slide valve 10 equipped in the syringe 10 comprises an approximately cylindrical first elastic body 13 and an approximately cylindrical second elastic body 14 which is jointed with one bottom surface 13c of the first elastic body 13, the other bottom surface 13a of the first elastic body 13 and a side surface portion continued therefrom being laminated with a synthetic resin film 15 and the other bottom surface 14a of the second elastic body 14 and a side surface portion continued therefrom be laminated with a synthetic resin film 16.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an injection nozzle cap capable of being fittedly inserted in a space between an injection nozzle of a syringe having a cylindrical, female luer-lock fitting and the female luer-lock fitting. The injection nozzle cap can include a base portion and a cylindrical leg portion extending downwardly of the base portion. The cylindrical leg portion may include, on an outer wall thereof, a substantially annular, bulged portion and/or a ring. There can also be provided nozzle caps for pre-filled syringes, which can be securely and automatically capped at high speed on syringes having female luer-lock fittings without occurrence of their falling-off, for example, during filling of a drug solution.

Abstract: A molding die assembly includes an upper die and a lower die, wherein at least one of the upper and lower dies is provided with a cavity corresponding to the shape of a rubber member to be molded, wherein at least one of the upper and lower dies is provided with an annular projection around a cavity. The distance between the upper and lower dies at the annular projection is made smaller than the distance between the opposed surface portions, other than the cavity, of the upper and lower dies. A rubber member produced by the above mentioned molding die assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A syringe barrel is provided with a hollow barrel body, a needle fitting arranged extending in an axial direction from a front end of the barrel body, and a finger flange arranged extending in an outward direction from a rear end of the barrel body. The syringe barrel features that a contour of the barrel body is a polygon in a cross-section taken at right angles to a central axis of the barrel body or that the barrel body is provided with at least one planar surface section formed on an outer peripheral wall of the barrel body. A syringe includes the above-described syringe barrel, a plunger slidably inserted in the syringe barrel, and a piston secured on the plunger.
