Abstract
Abstract An injection syringe having at least two chambers which are disposed in axis-parallel and juxtaposed relationship and an injection needle in which the needle cavity can be connected to a chamber for an injection liquid which can be pressurized by an injection piston that can be put under load, is intended to provide a syringe construction which is simplified in comparison with the state of the art, for manual handling of the injection piston, as well as mixing of a plurality of injection liquids during the injection operation. For that purpose, the juxtaposed chambers are each provided with an injection piston and communicate with a common prechamber which is formed by a releasable cap carrying the injection needle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
An injection syringe comprising: a housing having a needle chamber and at least one liquid storage chamber arranged parallel to each other; an injection needle movably mounted in said needle chamber from a first readiness position to a second operative position, said injection needle being provided with means for communicating with said liquid storage chamber when said injection needle is in said second operative position; and piston means mounted in said liquid storage chamber for putting liquid in said liquid storage chamber under pressure such that liquid passes from said liquid storage chamber through said means for communicating when said injection needle is in said second operative position wherein the portion of said liquid storage chamber projects under said needle chamber for forming a secondary chamber which receives said communicating means of said injection needle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
An injection syringe comprising: a housing having a needle chamber and at least one liquid storage chamber arranged parallel to each other; an injection needle movably mounted in said needle chamber from a first readiness position to a second operative position, said injection needle being provided with means for communicating with said liquid storage chamber when said injection needle is in said second operative position; and piston means mounted in said liquid storage chamber for putting liquid in said liquid storage chamber under pressure such that liquid passes from said liquid storage chamber through said means for communicating when said injection needle is in said second operative position wherein the portion of said liquid storage chamber projects under said needle chamber for forming a secondary chamber which receives said communicating means of said injection needle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A syringe according to claim 1 including a plurality of liquid storage chambers arranged about said needle chamber wherein said injection needle is provided with a plurality of communicating means which communicate with said plurality of liquid storage chambers when said injection needle is in said second operative position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A syringe according to claim 1 wherein a valve is provided between said liquid storage chamber and said secondary chamber for controlling the flow of liquid therebetween.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A syringe according to claim 1 wherein said piston connected to a piston rod which projects out of said liquid storage chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
73 words
A syringe according to claim 1 wherein said means for communicating comprises a short limb and wherein said injection needle further comprises a long limb substantially parallel to said short limb and connected by a base portion to said short limb so as to form a substantially U-shaped configuration wherein said short limb communicates with said secondary chamber of said liquid storage chamber when said injection needle is in said second operative position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A syringe according to claim 5 wherein a ruptural membrane separates said secondary chamber from said needle chamber wherein said communicating means punctures said membrane when said injection needle is in said second operation position.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A syringe according to claim 6 wherein said short limb is provided with cutting means on the end thereof for puncturing said membrane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A syringe according to claim 5 wherein said injection needle is carried by a piston which is reciprocally mounted in said needle chamber by a piston rod which projects out of said needle chamber.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A syringe according to claim 1 wherein a ruptural membrane separates said secondary chamber from said needle chamber wherein said communicating means punctures said membrane when said injection needle is in said second operation position.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
A syringe according to claim 1 wherein the needle chamber is provided with at least one stop member for holding said injection needle in said second operative position.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
17 words
A syringe according to claim 10 wherein said at least one stop member comprises a flexible lip.
