Abstract
Abstract A syringe adaptor for use with a wet/dry mixing vial having two chambers therein separated from one another by a displaceable plug and each containing a different material to be admixed with the other, comprising an elongate relatively rigid piercing tip having a pointed end and a tubular base, an open end on the tubular base for attachment of the adaptor to a syringe or the like, and a finger grip on the tubular base for grasping the adaptor to insert the piercing tip into the vial. The length of the piercing tip is such as to engage and displace a plug within the vial when the tip is inserted to thus enable said materials to be admixed, and a passageway is in the tubular base for withdrawing the admixed materials from the vial and into a syringe attached to the adaptor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A syringe adaptor for use with a wet/dry mixing vial having two chambers therein separated from one another by a displaceable plug and each containing a different material to be admixed with the other, comprising an elongate tubular body open at one end, means on said open end to receive and hold a cannula therein, a substantially conically shaped end wall closing the other end of the body, an axially extending opening through said end wall communicating with the hollow interior of the body, an elongate, solid piercing tip integral at one end thereof with said end wall and extending axially outwardly therefrom to a point at the other end thereof, a plurAlity of axially extending, circumferentially spaced reinforcing ribs on said piercing tip and tapering inwardly from said end wall toward said point, and radially outwardly extending finger grip means on said tubular body between the ends thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A syringe adaptor for use with a wet/dry mixing vial having two chambers therein separated from one another by a displaceable plug and each containing a different material to be admixed with the other, comprising an elongate tubular body open at one end, means on said open end to receive and hold a cannula therein, a substantially conically shaped end wall closing the other end of the body, an axially extending opening through said end wall communicating with the hollow interior of the body, an elongate, solid piercing tip integral at one end thereof with said end wall and extending axially outwardly therefrom to a point at the other end thereof, a plurAlity of axially extending, circumferentially spaced reinforcing ribs on said piercing tip and tapering inwardly from said end wall toward said point, and radially outwardly extending finger grip means on said tubular body between the ends thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 1, wherein the adaptor is made of white polypropylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 1, wherein said tubular body is of substantially the same diameter as the base of the tip and an axial bore extends from within the base in communication with the passageway through the rearward end of the body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 1, wherein the open end of the body is diametrically enlarged for gripping engagement with a syringe or the like having a cannula thereon to attach the adaptor to the syringe with the cannula extending axially into said axial bore to adjacent the tip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 4, wherein a diametrically enlarged annular flange is on said body and serves as a stop and finger engaging means to facilitate insertion of the tip into a vial.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 5, wherein a plurality of axially extending circumferentially spaced reinforcing ribs are on the tubular body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 4, wherein an annular sealing ring is in a groove in the enlarged portion of said body to effect a seal between said body and a syringe to which the adaptor is attached and thus prevent liquid entering said hollow interior of said body from displacing air therefrom.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
62 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 4, wherein a substantially cup-shaped rubber insert is fixed in said hollow interior of said body intermediate the ends thereof, said insert being adapted to be pierced by a cannula extended into said hollow interior and to effect a seal therewith to thus prevent liquid entering said hollow interior of said body from displacing air therefrom.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 1, wherein the reinforcing ribs on the tip are tapered toward the point thereof and terminate short of the point.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 1, wherein said finger grip means comprises a cup-shaped tubular body extending axially rearwardly from adjacent the periphery of a diametrically enlarged annular flange on the body adjacent the tip, said cup-shaped tubular body being of larger diameter than the elongate body.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 10, wherein said open end of said elongate body extends co-axially rearwardly within the tubular body, said elongate body being of substantially constant diameter, and said projection being shorter in length than the tubular body and having an open rearward end.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
24 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 11, wherein a sleeve stopper is on the open end of the elongate body effecting a seal therewith.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
49 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 12, wherein said sleeve stopper has a thickened end wall and a pair of radially spaced, axially forwardly extending cylindrical walls, said open end of said elongate body being received therebetween with the thickened wall positioned over the open end of the body.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
70 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 13, wherein an annular rib is on the rearward surface of said thickened end wall defining an insertion site for a cannula on a syringe or the like, the length of the elongate body, and the combined thickness of the thickened end wall and rib being such as to space the end of the cannula from the conically shaped end wall of the tip.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
31 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 14, wherein a tubular axial extension is connected at one end thereof to the rearward end of the cup-shaped tubular body and extends rearwardly therefrom.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
29 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 15, wherein the other end of the axial extension has means for receiving and gripping the end of a syringe or the like.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim

A syringe adaptor as in claim 16, wherein said one end of said extension has a diametrically enlarged annular flange thereon, the marginal peripheral portion of said flange being secured and sealed to the reaRward end portion of said cup-shaped tubular body.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
38 words
A syringe adaptor as in claim 17, wherein said flange has a forwardly axially extending annular wall thereon spaced radially inwardly from the periphery thereof and fitted and sealed within the rearward end of said cup-shaped tubular body.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
