Abstract
Abstract A hypodermic syringe destroyer utilizing a pair of jaws pivotally secured to each other which, when closed upon each other, puncture the syringe and deform the hypodermic needle. The syringe is punctured by a puncture blade forcing the syringe against a V-shaped support member while the hypodermic needle is supported in a slot and is bent by a needle-bending plate overlapping the slot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A hypodermic syringe and needle destroyer comprising: first and second jaw members pivotally secured to each other to permit said members to pivotally close upon each other; said first jaw member having a support plate extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom toward said second jaw member, said support plate having a V-shaped notch therein for supporting a hypodermic syringe; a puncture blade extending substantially perpendicularly from said second jaw member and positioned on said second jaw member to puncture a hypodermic syringe cylinder supported by said support plate when said jaw members are closed upon each other; a coiled spring mounted on and extending from said second jaw member in surrounding relation to said puncture blade; one of said jaw members having a needle support plate extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, said needle support plate having a slot therein positioned for receiving the hypodermic needle of a hypodermic syringe supported by said support plate; a needle-bending plate extending substantially perpendicular from the other of said jaw members, said needlebending plate positioned to overlap the slot in said needle support plate when said jaw members are closed upon each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A hypodermic syringe and needle destroyer comprising: first and second jaw members pivotally secured to each other to permit said members to pivotally close upon each other; said first jaw member having a support plate extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom toward said second jaw member, said support plate having a V-shaped notch therein for supporting a hypodermic syringe; a puncture blade extending substantially perpendicularly from said second jaw member and positioned on said second jaw member to puncture a hypodermic syringe cylinder supported by said support plate when said jaw members are closed upon each other; a coiled spring mounted on and extending from said second jaw member in surrounding relation to said puncture blade; one of said jaw members having a needle support plate extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, said needle support plate having a slot therein positioned for receiving the hypodermic needle of a hypodermic syringe supported by said support plate; a needle-bending plate extending substantially perpendicular from the other of said jaw members, said needlebending plate positioned to overlap the slot in said needle support plate when said jaw members are closed upon each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 including a spring supported adjacent said puncture blade for urging a punctured syringe cylinder off said puncture blade.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
The combination set forth in claim 1 including a second needle support plate extending perpendicularly from one of said jaw members and having a slot therein to receive a hypodermic needle, a pair of needle-deforming plates extending perpendicularly from the other of said jaw members and positioned to straddle said second needle support plate and overlap said slot when said jaw members are closed upon each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The combination set forth in claim 2 wherein said spring is a coil spring mounted over said puncture blade with the axis of the coil substantially parallel to the blade.
