Patent number: 6712788Abstract: An automatic safety syringe comprising a syringe body, hollow on the side and open at the front and rear; and a plunger sliding inside the syringe body with an injection stroke extending from a retracted syringe-filling position to a forward syringe-emptying position, the plunger being provided at the rear with a shaft that can be operated manually and brought out of the syring body through the rear end thereof. An injection needle integral with a needle carrier is egageable with the fore end of the syringe body. A hooking device is connected to the shaft of the plunger, to hook the needle carrier when the shaft is at the end of the injection stroke. An automatic device causes automatic retraction of the shaft of the plunger when the injection has been completed. a locking device is operatively connected to the shaft to block forward movement thereof when it is in the retracted position after intervention of the automatic device.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Inventors: Nardino Righi, Roberto Rossi, Sergio Restelli

Patent number: 6419658Abstract: A needle-covering sleeve (14), slidably fitted on the syringe barrel (1), is held in its retracted rest position by means of retaining tongues (10), which hook it at its rear rim (13). At the end of the injection stroke of the plunger (2), a rear flange (8) of the stem (3) of the plunger (2) radially opens the retaining tongues (10) apart, which release thereby the needle-covering sleeve (14). Then, the latter is axially advanced by means of a spring (16), to an advanced safety position, in which it entirely covers the needle (5) and is fastened to a sleeve-clamping ring (18), which is provided at the fore end of the syringe barrel (1). To this purpose, the sleeve-clamping ring (18) has peripheral elastic retaining tongues (19) which interact with matching retaining teeth (20) on the inner part of needle-covering sleeve (14) and prevent any axial backward movement of the needle-covering sleeve (14).Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2000Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Inventors: Sergio Restelli, Nardino Righi, Roberto Rossi

Patent number: 6319234Abstract: The syringe is provided with a needle-covering sleeve (14), which is slidably fitted on the syringe barrel (1) and is held in its retracted rest position by means of retaining tongues (10), which hook its rear rim (13). At the end of the injection stroke of the plunger (2), a rear head (8) of the stem (3) of the plunger (2) radially opens the retaining tongues (10) apart, which release thereby the needle-covering sleeve (14). Then, the latter is axially advanced by a spring (16), until it entirely covers the needle (5). The needle-carrier (4, 104) has at least one lateral locking projection (28), slidably engaging in a longitudinal slot (18), which is formed in the needle-covering sleeve (14) and is delimited at its sides, at least in its progressively tapering rear end (118), by two convergent and elastically openable stop sticks (19) which allow the passage of the locking projection (28) between their free ends, but then point against it and fasten it to the needle-covering sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1999Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Inventors: Sergio Restelli, Nardino Righi
