Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
Injection syringe plunger having means for ensuring at least one flow connection between an interior of a cylinder and outer environment when the plunger is partially inserted into the cylinder, wherein said means comprise a short, substantially cylindrical attachment on the plunger of smaller diameter than the diameter of the plunger in a region of a sealing bead thereon, said attachment comprising at least three, projections mounted on a circumference thereof at a location where said attachment joins the plunger proper, and said projections being substantially equidistant from one another and situated at substantially the same level along an axial length of the plunger, and rising above the circumference of said attachment approximately as far as the sealing bead.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
Injection syringe plunger having means for ensuring at least one flow connection between an interior of a cylinder and outer environment when the plunger is partially inserted into the cylinder, wherein said means comprise a short, substantially cylindrical attachment on the plunger of smaller diameter than the diameter of the plunger in a region of a sealing bead thereon, said attachment comprising at least three, projections mounted on a circumference thereof at a location where said attachment joins the plunger proper, and said projections being substantially equidistant from one another and situated at substantially the same level along an axial length of the plunger, and rising above the circumference of said attachment approximately as far as the sealing bead.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein said means additionally comprise at least two groove-like depressions extending axially along the circumference of said attachment, opening at an end of said attachment opposite the plunger proper, and ending slightly past the location of said projections on the plunger.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein the diameter of said attachment is about 10 to 25% smaller than the diameter of the plunger in the region of the sealing bead.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein said projections are nub-like in shape.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein said projections axially extend along the circumference of said attachment and are rib-like in shape.
