Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a "plungerless" means of drawing blood and for administering liquids via parenteral injection. This means is used in conjunction with a pouch bearing an injection means, to which it is releasably attached. It comprises hinged plates which, when folded, expand the pouch; and which, when straightened, compress it. In a preferred embodiment, the plates fold along a line essentially parallel to the general direction of fluid flow, and extend beyond the distal end of the pouch. The expanded pouch may then be rested on the distal edges of the plates, which form a "diamond" configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A separable device for altering the volume of a pouch means adapted for holding an injectable liquid, comprising hinged plate means, being adapted to be adhesively and releasably connected to said pouch means, said hinged plate means comprises, consecutively, a first flexion plate, a first adhesion plate flexibly connected to the first flexion plate, a second flexion plate fixedly connected to the first adhesion plate, a third flexion plate flexibly connected to the second flexion plate, a second adhesion plate flexibly connected to the third flexion plate, and a fourth flexion plate flexibly connected to the second adhesion plate, the first and fourth flexion plates each having a free edge, wherein the flexion plates are narrower and thinner than the adhesion plates, and the adhesion plates are adapted for adhesive connection to the pouch, whereby in a folded configuration said hinge plate means expands said pouch means, creating a partial vacuum therein, and in an unfolded configuration said hinged plate means compresses the pouch, expelling the liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
A separable device for altering the volume of a pouch means adapted for holding an injectable liquid, comprising hinged plate means, being adapted to be adhesively and releasably connected to said pouch means, said hinged plate means comprises, consecutively, a first flexion plate, a first adhesion plate flexibly connected to the first flexion plate, a second flexion plate fixedly connected to the first adhesion plate, a third flexion plate flexibly connected to the second flexion plate, a second adhesion plate flexibly connected to the third flexion plate, and a fourth flexion plate flexibly connected to the second adhesion plate, the first and fourth flexion plates each having a free edge, wherein the flexion plates are narrower and thinner than the adhesion plates, and the adhesion plates are adapted for adhesive connection to the pouch, whereby in a folded configuration said hinge plate means expands said pouch means, creating a partial vacuum therein, and in an unfolded configuration said hinged plate means compresses the pouch, expelling the liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the adhesion plates are transparent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device of claim 1, the hinged plate means having at least one inherent hinge in the form of a linear region of the plate means which is mechanically weaker than adjacent regions, whereby the plate means folds about the line defined by said linear region.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 1, the hinge plate means comprising at least two plates flexibly connected by hinge means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the hinged plate means comprises an upper hinged plate means and a lower hinged plate means, each having at least two parallel edges, two parallel edges of said upper hinged plate means being flexibly connected to opposed edges of said lower hinged plate means, said hinged plate means each having at least one linear hinge region parallel to said connected edges, whereby inward pressure on said edges causes folding in said hinge regions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
53 words
The device of claim 5, wherein said hinged plate means are adapted to extend beyond the distal end of said pouch, each hinged plate means having a free distal edge, whereby the device, bearing said pouch, may stand upright on said distal edges when the hinged plate means are in the folded configuration.
