Valved intravenous needle assembly

Claim 1

A valved intravenous needle assembly, comprising, a first elongate body having a first cylindrical cavity of a first diameter defined about a predetermined axis, wherein the first body includes a first body end wall, with a second elongate body mounted to the first body coaxially aligned relative to the axis in a spaced relationship relative to the first body end wall, the first body end wall including a tubular needle projecting therefrom in fluid communication with the first cylindrical cavity, and the second body having a second cavity, and a web mounted to the first body and to the second body at an interface of the first cavity to the second cavity, with a web bore directed through the web to effect fluid communication between the first cavity and the second cavity, and the second cavity including a delivery tube arranged for reception within the second cavity, and an apertured barrier plate mounted within the first cavity spaced from the first end wall, and a conical recess formed at a further end of the first cavity spaced from the barrier plate and the first body end wall, wherein the conical recess is coaxially aligned with the first cavity and the second cavity, and medially intersected by the web bore, and a floating spherical plug having a second diameter less than the first diameter positioned within the first cavity between the barrier plate and the conical recess and arranged for reception within the conical recess to prevent fluid flow through the web bore, and an abutment ring mounted about the first body spaced from the first body end wall a predetermined length, and a mounting strap, the mounting strap including a cradle support, the cradle support including a semi-cylindrical cavity, with the semi-cylindrical cavity having a length equal to the predetermined length to complementarily receive the first body between the abutment ring and the first body end wall.
