Abstract
Abstract A syringe assembly has a hub body which can be inserted into a hub insertion hole and pulled out thereof into inside a sringe body. A chamfer portion is formed at the hub body, being capable of engaging with the hub insertion hole. A needle insertion hole capable of being inserted a needle therein is provided with an end face of the hub body in a direction of an axis center of the hub body. A flow hole is provided with the hub body such that the needle insertion hole and an inside of the syringe body are communicated with each other in the direction of the axis center. A piston engagement hole is provided on end face side of the hub body, so as to engage with the piston. A seal taper is annularly formed at the hub body, such that its outside diameter is made narrower for the end face side, so as to abut on and contact with an inner face of the hub insertion hole.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
An occupying member for a syringe assembly comprising: a main body made of elastic material; a sliding face for the syringe formed at a periphery of said main body; a liquid pressing face formed at one end of said main body; a supporting face formed at the other end of said main body; a piston engagement insertion space extending into said main body from said supporting face; and a deformation accelerating space defined between said liquid pressing face and said supporting face and inside of said main body so as to enclose said piston engagement insertion space; whereby the deformation accelerating space reduces the force required to elastically compress the main body of the occupying member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
An occupying member for a syringe assembly comprising: a main body made of elastic material; a sliding face for the syringe formed at a periphery of said main body; a liquid pressing face formed at one end of said main body; a supporting face formed at the other end of said main body; a piston engagement insertion space extending into said main body from said supporting face; and a deformation accelerating space defined between said liquid pressing face and said supporting face and inside of said main body so as to enclose said piston engagement insertion space; whereby the deformation accelerating space reduces the force required to elastically compress the main body of the occupying member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 1, wherein said deformation accelerating space is hollow.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 1, wherein said deformation accelerating space is filled with soft material being softer than said main body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 1, wherein said piston engagement insertion space extends sufficiently into the main body so as to be in communication with said deformation accelerating space.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 1, wherein said liquid pressing face has a tapered portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 1, wherein said main body has an axial center, and wherein said supporting face has a plane perpendicular to the axial center of said main body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
145 words
An occupying member for a syringe assembly comprising: a main body made of elastic material; a sliding face for the syringe formed at a periphery of said main body; a liquid pressing face formed at one end of said main body; a supporting face formed at the other end of said main body; a piston engagement insertion space extending into said main body from said supporting face; and a deformation accelerating space defined between said liquid pressing face and said supporting face of said main body; wherein said deformation accelerating space is cylindrically formed, wherein said piston engagement insertion space extends axially from said insertion space, and wherein said main body includes a periphery substantially enclosing said deformation accelerating space and said piston engagement insertion space; whereby the deformation accelerating space reduces the force required to elastically compress the main body of the occupying member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
145 words
An occupying member for a syringe assembly comprising: a main body made of elastic material; a sliding face for the syringe formed at a periphery of said main body; a liquid pressing face formed at one end of said main body; a supporting face formed at the other end of said main body; a piston engagement insertion space extending into said main body from said supporting face; and a deformation accelerating space defined between said liquid pressing face and said supporting face of said main body; wherein said deformation accelerating space is cylindrically formed, wherein said piston engagement insertion space extends axially from said insertion space, and wherein said main body includes a periphery substantially enclosing said deformation accelerating space and said piston engagement insertion space; whereby the deformation accelerating space reduces the force required to elastically compress the main body of the occupying member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said deformation accelerating space is hollow.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said deformation accelerating space is filled with soft material being softer than said main body.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
24 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said piston engagement insertion space extends into said main body from said supporting face.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said piston engagement insertion space extends sufficiently into the main body so as to be in communication with said deformation accelerating space.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
18 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said liquid pressing face has a tapered portion.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
34 words
The occupying member as set forth in claim 7, wherein said main body has an axial center, and wherein said supporting face has a plane perpendicular to the axial center of said main body.
