  • Patent number: 7883523
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lancet assembly which eliminates the need to remove a resin cover encapsulating a pricking element. Upon inserting a lancet structure into a lancet holder, a force which separates a lancet cover encapsulating the sharp tip portion of the pricking element from a lancet body is generated, and this force is allowed to act on the lancet cover and the lancet body to thereby expose, within the lancet holder, the sharp tip portion of the pricking element encapsulated by the lancet cover and to locate the opening of the lancet holder in front of the sharp tip portion of the pricking element.

  • Publication number: 20110026114
    Abstract: The invention provides a portable screen assembly that is lighter in weight and easier to handle. The assembly includes a casing, a spring-biased roll rotatably amounted to the casing, a screen bonded at one end thereof to a top bar and wound around the spring-biased roll when in storage, and an expanding and contracting means having one end rotatably mounted to an mounting member mounted to the top bar and the other end rotatably mounted to the casing. For the expanding and contracting means is used a half- pantograph type expanding and contracting means having a first arm, a second arm and a third arm arranged in an extended plane parallel to the extended screen, the second arm including two or more mutually parallel sub arms provided to be mutually parallel in the extended plane, the two or more sub arms being connected to the first arm and the second arm so as to form a parallel link.

  • Patent number: 7879059
    Abstract: A lancet assembly is disclosed which eliminates the need for removing a resin cover that covers a pricking element. When a lancet structure is inserted into a lancet holder, a force is applied so as to separate a lancet cover, that encloses a distal end of a pricking element, from a lancet body so that the distal end of the pricking element which has been enclosed by the lancet cover is exposed in the lancet holder, and the opening of the lancet holder is positioned in front of the distal end of the pricking element. The lancet structure has a trigger which launches the pricking element of which the distal end is exposed, when the lancet structure is continually pushed into the lancet holder.

  • Publication number: 20090275969
    Abstract: There is provided a lancet assembly with a possibility of the lancet structure being inadvertently pushed without an intension of pricking. The lancet assembly comprising a lancet structure 200 and a lancet holder 100 which holds the lancet structure, in such a constitution that by pressing the lancet structure into the lancet holder, the following steps are carried out: the step of separating a lancet cover 214 from a lancet body 216 so as expose a distal end portion 232 of a pricking element 220, and then the step of launching the lancet body having the distal end portion of the pricking element exposed so as to prick a predetermined portion, characterized in that a trigger 300 used to launch the lancet body has a pushbutton 117 exposed through an opening 120 provided in a side surface 101 of the lancet holder, the lancet body of which the distal end portion 232 of the pricking element 220 is exposed is launched by moving the trigger forward while the exposed pushbutton is pressed into the lancet holder.
