(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a retractable safety syringe and more particularly to a syringe wherein a barrel will be broken and a needle will be retracted into the barrel by a retraction after taking an injection, so as to prevent the syringe from being recycled.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
For an ordinary syringe, as a needle is still fixed on a barrel after taking an injection, a common processing method is to separate the needle from the barrel, and destroy them separately. As the entire structure of syringe remains intact, there is a doubt that the syringe will be recycled by unworthy people during a process of destroying, thereby causing contamination and germ infection. Accordingly, some vendors have designed a variety of retractable syringes to retract needles into barrels to avoid reuse. As shown in
For the aforementioned new patents, the needle must be completely sealed with the barrel to prevent an inadvertent leaking of medicine, and the structure must be easily operated without exerting a large force when retracting the needle, independent of the method of connecting and retracting the push rod and the needle. Therefore, an issue of precision between these two compartments occurs, which induces a trouble to mass production, thereby causing a large imperfection rate, and an inability of reducing a manufacturing cost. Accordingly, they are not able to be utilized generally, which is very imperfect.
The present invention is to provide a retractable safety syringe, in order to facilitate retracting a needle after taking an injection, and to enable an easier manufacturing for reducing an imperfection rate and a cost.
The aforementioned syringe comprises a barrel, a seat, and a push rod, wherein a tubular exit is located at an end of the barrel, a bore is located at an inner rim of a bottom of the exit, a thin breakage part surrounds a periphery of the end, and a bolt is located at a top end of the push rod. After pushing the push rod into the barrel for accomplishing injecting, the bolt of push rod is locked into the bore at the inner rim of the barrel exit to retract the barrel, such that the breakage part at the end of barrel is broken by a stretching force, and the needle is retracted into the barrel.
The bore located at the inner rim of bottom end of barrel exit in the aforementioned syringe structure is a sheet whose center is provided with a threaded opening, and a slant stage member is located at a bottom edge of the bolt of push rod, such that the bolt can be properly rotated after entering the opening of the sheet, so as to be locked on the sheet, for facilitating a retraction of the push rod. Furthermore, as the needle being retracted is in a slant condition by the stage member, the syringe can be prevented from being recycled and causing contamination.
In the aforementioned syringe, the breakage part located in the barrel is a groove in a continuous point shape.
In the aforementioned syringe, a ring of groove is located on a surface of the barrel at a position close to an end, such that a cover having a through-hole in a center and a latching hooks at sides can be covered on the end and latched into the groove with the latching hooks, thereby forming a restrain to the end for preventing damage to the breakage part of the barrel upon taking an injection.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
Referring to
The cover 6 is in a shape of cap whose center is provided with a through-hole 61, whose sides are provided with notches 62, and whose inner rim at bottom of sides is provided with latching hooks 63, such that when the cover 6 is covered on the end 41 of the barrel 41, the latching hooks 63 at the bottom edge can be latched into the groove 44 on the barrel surface, and the seat 5 and the needle 51 can be fixed on the exit 42 of the barrel 4.
A rod-shape bolt 71 is located at a center of a top end of the push rod 7, a slant stage member 711 with a larger diameter is located at a bottom edge of the bolt 71, and long notches 72 are located at front edges of stems of the push rod 7.
Accordingly, a retractable safety syringe 100 is constituted by assembling the aforementioned compartments. Upon using the present invention, a medicine in the barrel 4 is injected into a patient's body by the push rod 7, and the bolt 71 of the push rod 7 is locked into the bore 431 of the barrel 4 after accomplishing the injection. The groove 411 of the breakage part of the barrel 4 is broken by a stretching force upon retracting the push rod 7, thereby retracting the exit 42, the seat 5, and the needle 51 into the barrel 4, for preventing the used syringe 100 from being recycled, and achieving a purpose of avoiding contamination of the needle 51.

During a process of taking an injection with the present invention, the cover 6 is stopped by the end 41 of the barrel 4; therefore, damage to the groove 411 of the breakage part by an injection pressure can be avoided.
Accordingly, the present invention uses a barrel with a breakage part and a push rod with a bolt to retract a needle into the barrel after using a syringe, thereby preventing the syringe from being recycled and reducing a manufacturing cost and imperfection rate of the retractable safety syringe.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
