Method for imbedding a hollow needle in synthetic resin material

... 712,859. Hypodermic needles. OGLE, R. W. Feb. 14, 1952 [July 9, 1951], No. 3977/52. Class 81(2) A method of imbedding a hollow needle 14 in synthetic resin comprises mounting the needle 14 on a mandrel 15 a portion of which extends from within the needle 14, driving the mandrel 15 in the synthetic resin, driving the needle 14 with the mandrel 15 within the opening formed and removing the mandrel 15 from the needle 14. The extending portion of the mandrel 15 has a sharpened end 16 which is driven into a post 13 of a syringe 10 made of polyethylene. The needle 14 may be driven right through the post 13 or part-way through the post 13 connection between the interior of the syringe 10 and the hollow needle 14 being made by a passage formed by the mandrel 15. The needle openirig. is formed by the separation of the synthetic resin so that the needle is held in its final position by elastic tension of the synthetic resin. Specification 712,860 is referred to.

An orifice is formed in a needle mount which may be opened by relative turning of the mount and syringe nipple on which it is placed, so as to vent the bore of the nipple to atmosphere. Such venting ensures that there shall be no sucking back of the contents of a used needle as this is withdrawn from the syringe. In its simplest form a drilling 4 communicates with the bore 3 of the nipple 1. The needle mount is provided with a longitudinal slot 7, communicating with its axial bore, so that, by rotation, this slot may be aligned with the hole 4 before the needle is removed. The hole 4 and the slot 7 may be replaced by axial surface grooves if desired. In a modification the mount is screwed on to the syringe nipple and has a lateral drilling leading to an internal cavity. When the mount is screwed tightly on to the nipple the end of the latter is pressed tightly against the further end of the cavity and ...

A syringe has a barrel (1) to receive a cartridge (31). The barrel (1) has a front end portion (6) to which a needle (32) is connected for engagement with the cartridge. At its rear end the barrel (1) has a plunger mechanism. A sleeve (15) is slidably mounted on the barrel and can be pushed forwards to sheath the needle. The needle (32) is mounted on the barrel (1) via a push-fit mounting device (22, 34). The needle (32) can be removed for disposal in a container (35) by inserting the syringe into a tube (40) on top of the container so that the protective needle sleeve (15) is pushed back and the needle (32) and mounting device (22, 34) pass through a collar (41) of gripping fingers (42) at an inner end of the tube (40). The fingers (42) catch behind the mounting device (22, 34) so that this is pulled off to drop into the container (35) with the needle (32) when the syringe is withdrawn from the tube. The mounting device (22, 34) may be defined by an adaptor cap (22) on to which a hub ( ...

The mechanism comprises a needle portion having a ratchet collar R which in use engages pawls PA1, PA2, PA3 each comprising a cantilever arm A and a shoe S with saw-tooth teeth. The arm extends inwardly from an overhanging portion OH of a syringe body. The needle is axially fitted onto the syringe by pushing the needle portion in the direction indicated so that the pawls engage with the ratchet to prevent outward movement. The mechanism also facilitates the formation of a compressive fluid-tight seal between a needle hub C and an elongate tip N on the barrel. In use the arrangement prevents accidental fly-off of the needle from the syringe body.
