Abstract
Abstract This blood sampling syringe consists primarily of a cylinder, which removably receives an expandable encasement, that will receive a specimen by needle means. The upper structure of this syringe includes rotatable cylinder means for creating a vacuum, which will be controlled by an adjustable control valve. The control valve enables the user to utilize as much of the vacuum needed to collect a specimen within the disposable and expandable encasement.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A blood sampling syringe, comprising a hollow cylinder which is closed off by hollow needle means at one end, for receiving a specimen, an expandable encasement means sealingly positioned around the opening of said needle into said cylinder, said encasement means serving to receive said specimen, a cylindrical control valve body threadingly received on the opposite end of said cylinder, by the end wall means of said control valve body, a passage extending through said control valve body, a screw valve means operating transversely of said passage in said control valve body for opening and closing said passage, a bore in said control valve body and communicating with said passage at an end opposite from said hollow cylinder such that said screw valve means is located between said hollow cylinder and said bore, a solid and cylindrical shank means sealingly and slidably positioned in said bore to provide means for creating a vacuum in said bore when said screw valve means is positioned to close said passage and to subsequently draw a specimen through said needle when said screw valve means is positioned to open said passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The combination according to claim 1, wherein said shank means has fixedly secured to its end, a flexible disc forming seal means within the said bore of said control valve body, said flexible disc being in sliding abutment on its outer periphery with the inner periphery of said bore of said control valve body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
The combination according to claim 2, wherein said screw valve means is of flexible plastic material, so as to provide sealing means on its outer periphery, with the opening of said control valve body which receives said screw valve means, the shank of said screw valve means being conical in cross-sectional configuration at one end, said conical end of said screw valve means being removably received within said passage of said control valve body.
