Abstract

Abstract A syringe is disclosed the main feature of which is that its plunger (5) is bored longitudinally with a conduit and provided with an inlet fitting to which an ordinary hollow injection needle (10) can be mounted after removing a cap (4) supplied with it. This arrangement enables the syringe to be filled from the rear and directly into the interior of the graduated barrel (1) where medicines can be metered and mixed for subsequent delivery, through an offtake head (2, 2a, 2b, 7), to a number of needles, the outlet fittings for which are individually screened by a form of trap. The latter arrangement is directed to balance the flows through all the outlet fittings, since otherwise, the middle outlet fittings, i.e. those aligned with or placed the closest to the outlets conveying the liquid into the offtake head, would be favoured.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 110 words
A multi-needle syringe particularly for mesotherapeutical applications, comprising a plunger (5) having one end provided with an elastic seal (6) slidable inside a graduated barrel (1) with the end of which there is associated an offtake (2,2a,2b) having several outlet fittings, characterised in that said plunger (5) has a suction conduit extending over its entire length for introducing into said barrel (1) during the drawing step liquid substances to be mixed, there being provided at least one air-tight cap (4,3) engageable during said drawing step on said outlet fittings and during the ejection step of the mixtures on the end of said plunger (5) remote from said elastic seal (6).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 110 words
A multi-needle syringe particularly for mesotherapeutical applications, comprising a plunger (5) having one end provided with an elastic seal (6) slidable inside a graduated barrel (1) with the end of which there is associated an offtake (2,2a,2b) having several outlet fittings, characterised in that said plunger (5) has a suction conduit extending over its entire length for introducing into said barrel (1) during the drawing step liquid substances to be mixed, there being provided at least one air-tight cap (4,3) engageable during said drawing step on said outlet fittings and during the ejection step of the mixtures on the end of said plunger (5) remote from said elastic seal (6).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A syringe according to Claim 1, characterised in that said plunger (5) has the end remote from said elastic seal (6) configured to accommodate an ordinary injection needle (10).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
3 . A syringe according to Claim 1 or 2, characterised in that said plunger (5,8) has on its cylindrical surface a graduated scale for accurately metering said liquid substances to be mixed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 51 words
A syringe according to Claim 1, characterised in that it comprises at least one element (9a,9b) removably associable with the mouth of said barrel (1) and having in one portion thereof at least one elevation (9c) for self-centering on said mouth by reducing the guiding cross-sectional area of said plunger (5-8).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
A syringe according to Claim 1, characterised in that said barrel (1) has on its remote end from said mouth a perforated end cap.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 43 words
A syringe according to Claim 5, characterised in that said end cap extends coaxially with a collar adapted to accommodate during the ejection step of said mixture a multi-needle offtake (7) and during the drawing step of said liquid substances said cap (3,4).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 38 words
A syringe according to Claim 1, characterised in that said multi-needle offtake (7) has at least one siphon-like costrained passage for each of said outlet fittings to even out the amount of said mixture in said outlet fittings.
