Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A plunger for a syringe made of a resilient material comprising a generally cylindrical body portion, a plurality of radial axially spaced ribs on its outer peripheral, a rupturable diaphragm spaced inwardly from opposite axial ends of the body portion, said diaphragm having a localized weakened area to minimize particle formations when the diaphragm ruptures, and also providing a more accurate control of force required to rupture the diaphragm consisting of a crescent-shaped membrane portion of thinner cross section than the remainder defined by the crescent and the circular trace of the diaphragm.
