Abstract: A syringe holder and applicator provides a unique latch mechanism for mounting a syringe on a slider and loading the syringe into a holder. The latch mechanism pivots on the slider in such a way that it may be engaged and retracted against the force of a spring, pulling the slider into a cocked position, pivoted to a position that allows the syringe to be placed on the slider and mounted in the holder, and then pivoted into the cocked position, locking the syringe to the holder and conditioning the device for administering an injection. The slider and syringe are maintained in a position of retraction against the spring by a detent which may be released by a finger operated contact or trigger button.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic injection device comprising an assembly of a discharge mechanism, a cartridge holder of synthetic material and a cartridge which is slidably accommodated in the cartridge holder. The cartridge includes a glass ampoule, if desired, enveloped by a sheath of shrinkable sheet, the ampoule consisting of an ampoule cylinder in which an injection liquid or various injection liquids separated from each other by stoppers and a piston which can be moved in the ampoule cylinder are provided. The assembly also includes a connection means for an injection needle in which or to which the injection needle, if desired, covered by a guard to maintain the needle in a sterile condition, is connected, and a shoulder between the ampoule cylinder and the needle connection means.

Abstract: An injector device for a syringe and assembly is disclosed which enables the user to inject a syringe needle to a predetermined depth.The device includes a pipe union bearing upper retaining arms that are adapted to interfit with a plunger of a standard injector syringe. The pipe union is slidably mounted along an inner tube through which the syringe and needle are projected. The pipe union and an attached screw nut form upper and lower shoulders along the inner tube. The pipe union is spring loaded for movement along the inner tube, and this movement is set between the upper and lower shoulders by means of a rotatable firing hammer. The hammer fixes the pipe union and attached syringe in the upper, spring loaded position, and when triggered, the hammer releases the pipe union to the lower position and fires the syringe needle into the user.
Abstract: An auto-aspirating hypodermic syringe supporting and operating device for self-administered injection of hypodermic medication, insulin or the like comprising an elongated thin main plate member having longitudinal slots, a carriage assembly slidably mounted on the plate member for reciprocative longitudinal movement through projecting and retracting strokes including a spring biased syringe carrier member having front and rear holder portions to removably hold the barrel and a back member fixed to the carrier member to slide longitudinally with the carrier member. A pivoted latch trigger member is pivoted on the plate member to latch the carriage assembly in a cocked position and a stop supporting bracket extends from the plate member having movable stop members and a stop positioning cam plate to position the said stop members at an intercepting first position and retracted second position relative to an enlarged head of the plunger.
Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic syringe for injecting two or more different injection liquids which may not be in contact with each other for long periods of time. For that purpose, the ampoule between the piston and the needle connection includes one or more stoppers which keep the injection liquids separated from each other, while at a point a short distance before the needle connection a by-pass means is present through which the injection liquid or injection liquids present behind the stopper or stoppers can pass the stopper or stoppers during use of the syringe.
Abstract: A blood sampling instrument for drawing a few drops of blood from a finger or the like is provided wherein the sampling device consists primarily of a tubular member which conceals all of the working parts and which has a flange thereon so that it can be easily held by a patient and pressed against a finger while releasing a trigger mechanism to actuate a plunger within the instrument.
Abstract: A dual mode automatic injector having a dual mode safety device for preventing the release of the stressed spring assembly except when it is desired to operate the medicament injecting assembly by the stressed spring assembly. The dual mode safety device comprises a first part including a pin portion disposed in a safety position extending through a central aperture in the rear wall of the housing assembly of the injector in release preventing relation with the stressed spring assembly for removal therefrom in response to a relative rearward movement with respect to the rear wall so as to permit an actuating movement to release the stressed spring assembly. The first part includes an automatic removal portion fixed to the rearward end of the pin portion.

Abstract: A squeezing finger pressure is exerted on a trigger mechanism carried by a finger-grip portion of a hypodermic syringe. The depressed trigger mechanism displaces a V-shaped lock spring inwardly, moving a bight portion of the spring out from locking engagement with a lock opening. This frees a compressed compression spring allowing it to drive an internal bushing, a cartridge within a barrel portion of the syringe, a second bushing at the front end of the syringe, and a needle forwardly together, relative to the finger-grip body and the barrel of the syringe. This is done for the purpose of penetrating a needle into tissue in which an injection is to be made.
Abstract: A hypodermic syringe comprising a housing having a needle chamber and a sealed receiving chamber containing an injection liquid. A hollow needle is mounted for slidable displacement in the needle chamber in a retracted position. A first piston acts on the hollow needle for displacing it to an extended position in which the needle projects from the housing for piercing the skin. A second piston in the receiving chamber acts on the injection liquid to pressurize the same. An apparatus holds the first and second pistons in respective retracted position with a passage connecting the first and second chambers and also being provided with a closure normally closing the passage.
