Abstract

Abstract The attachment unit for a spike equipped syringe is composed of first and second tubular portions connected together at their inner ends and extending from such connection in axially aligned relation. The bore of the first tubular portion has at its outer end a cylindrically shaped seat for the hub of the spike, and adjacent to such cylindrical seat a conical seat for the spike, the two seats forming between them an internal shoulder to properly register the spike in such first tubular portion. Connected at its inner end to said connection and enclosed in the inner end of the second tubular portion is a tubular needle mounting, the bore of which is in communication with the bore of the first tubular portion. One end of a needle cannula is secured in liquid-tight relation in the mounting bore and the cannula extends from such mounting and through the bore of the second tubular portion to a point beyond the outer end of such second tubular portion. The projecting end of the cannula is enclosed by a cup-shaped cap which fits on the outer end of the second tubular portion and is provided with a stop flange engageable with such outer end of the second tubular portion to prevent the needle engaging the closed end of the cap.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 317 words
An attachment unit for medicinal syringes equipped with a transfer spike comprising first and second elongated tubular portions connected together at their inner ends and extending from such connection in axially aligned, opposed directions so that said first tubular portion provides at one end of the unit an entry passage for a syringe spike and said second tubular portion provides at the other end of the unit an entry passage for a tubular entry port of the plastic bag for medicinal material, the bore of said first tubular portion being formed at its outer end portion to provide a first seat snugly receiving one part of a syringe spike and adjacently to said outer end portion being formed to provide a second seat for another part of the spike, an internal shoulder formed in such bore between said first and second seats to properly register said spike parts on said seats, the bore of said first tubular portion having a length greater than the length of the spike insertable thereinto, tubular means providing a reduced passageway axially aligned with the bores of said first and second tubular portions and communicating at one end with the inner end of the bore in said first tubular portion, a needle cannula having one end located in said reduced passageway with its bore in communication with said first tubular portion bore, means for mounting said one end of the needle cannula in liquid-tight relation in said reduced passageway and with the remainder of said needle extending outwardly therefrom axially through the bore of said second tubular portion, the bore of said second tubular portion being formed to receive the tubular entry port of a plastic medicinal bag with such remainder of the needle extending through the bore of such port, and the outer end of said tubular means providing a stop seat for the terminal outer end of such entry port.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 317 words
An attachment unit for medicinal syringes equipped with a transfer spike comprising first and second elongated tubular portions connected together at their inner ends and extending from such connection in axially aligned, opposed directions so that said first tubular portion provides at one end of the unit an entry passage for a syringe spike and said second tubular portion provides at the other end of the unit an entry passage for a tubular entry port of the plastic bag for medicinal material, the bore of said first tubular portion being formed at its outer end portion to provide a first seat snugly receiving one part of a syringe spike and adjacently to said outer end portion being formed to provide a second seat for another part of the spike, an internal shoulder formed in such bore between said first and second seats to properly register said spike parts on said seats, the bore of said first tubular portion having a length greater than the length of the spike insertable thereinto, tubular means providing a reduced passageway axially aligned with the bores of said first and second tubular portions and communicating at one end with the inner end of the bore in said first tubular portion, a needle cannula having one end located in said reduced passageway with its bore in communication with said first tubular portion bore, means for mounting said one end of the needle cannula in liquid-tight relation in said reduced passageway and with the remainder of said needle extending outwardly therefrom axially through the bore of said second tubular portion, the bore of said second tubular portion being formed to receive the tubular entry port of a plastic medicinal bag with such remainder of the needle extending through the bore of such port, and the outer end of said tubular means providing a stop seat for the terminal outer end of such entry port.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 68 words
An attachment as defined in claim 1, in which said first seat in the bore of said first tubular portion is cylindrically shaped, and the second seat in such bore is conically-shaped and terminates at a point spaced from the inner end of such bore, the outer end greater said second seat at said internal shoulder having a graeter diameter than the inner end of said second seat.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 76 words
An attachment as defined in claim 1, in which said tubular means has an exterior diameter less than the internal diameter of the bore of said second tubular portion so that the exterior surface of said tubular means is spaced from the inner wall of such bore by an annular recess in communication at its outer end with the portion of the bore of said second tubular portion beyond the outer end of said tubular means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 74 words
An attachment as defined in claim 1, in which said needle cannula projects beyond the outer end of said second tubular portion, said unit including a cup-shaped cap having an open end portion engageable with the outer end of said second tubular portion to enclose the projecting portion of said cannula, and having stop means engageable with the terminal end of said second tubular portion to register said cap on said second tubular portion.
