  • Patent number: 9731077
    Abstract: A plunger for a syringe, in which a plunger rod can be prevented by a simple structure from unavoidably falling out of place. The plunger for a syringe includes the plunger rod and a gasket. The gasket is closed at its upper end and has an inner space, and an opening having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the inner space is provided in the lower end of the gasket. The plunger rod has a collar installed at the tip of the plunger rod. When the collar is positioned in the inner space of the gasket, the plunger rod and the gasket are freely movably fitted together without intimate contact between them.

  • Patent number: 9526841
    Abstract: An administration device can discharge a prescribed, equal amount of medicine a number of times by spraying. A spraying device includes a barrel; a gasket provided slidably movable in liquid-tight manner in the barrel; a rod coupled to a base end of the gasket; and a regulating member provided on the barrel, having a projection that can slidably fit with the guide groove. The guide groove includes at least first and second continuous administering grooves. The second administering groove is configured to include a transitional portion extending in the circumferential direction with a groove wall on the base end side aligned with the base end of the first administering portion, and a second administering portion extending from the transitional portion to a base end along the longitudinal direction. An energizing protrusion engageable with the projection is provided at a boundary between the transitional portion and the second administering portion.

  • Patent number: 9345866
    Abstract: A nasal cavity administration container includes a body section including a medical fluid storage section having an opening and a plunger having a pressing part, and a plunger moving amount regulation member having a stopper and being engaged with the body section, an engagement with the body section being relieved only in a state where the pressing part abuts on the stopper. When the plunger is pushed into the medical fluid storage section, the plunger moves forward until the pressing part abuts on the stopper. The plunger is further pushed into the medical fluid storage section with the plunger moving amount regulation member detached from the body section. The nasal cavity administration container can administer a medical fluid easily and appropriately.
