Abstract
Abstract An apparatus or guide to aid in inserting the needle of syringes and the like into body conduits such as veins, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pair of members which are placed on the opposite sides of a vein, parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof, thereby preventing lateral movement of the vein while it is being pierced by the needle. In an embodiment of the invention a guide is provided to aid in inserting the needle to the desired depth.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A device for laterally restraining a fluid conduit comprising: first and second legs spaced apart from each other; and body means having a longitudinal axis and connecting said legs at a distance from their distal ends, said body means including: a space along its longitudinal axis for receiving a fluid conduit therein; upper and lower horizontal surface parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis of said body means; a third surface inclined to the axis of said body means and connecting the upper and lower surfaces of said body means, said inclined surface having a V-shaped groove formed therein, said groove terminating in said first and second legs; and a second inclined surface orthogonal to said first inclined surface and connecting said first inclined surface with the upper surface of said body means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A device for laterally restraining a fluid conduit comprising: first and second legs spaced apart from each other; and body means having a longitudinal axis and connecting said legs at a distance from their distal ends, said body means including: a space along its longitudinal axis for receiving a fluid conduit therein; upper and lower horizontal surface parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis of said body means; a third surface inclined to the axis of said body means and connecting the upper and lower surfaces of said body means, said inclined surface having a V-shaped groove formed therein, said groove terminating in said first and second legs; and a second inclined surface orthogonal to said first inclined surface and connecting said first inclined surface with the upper surface of said body means.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
108 words
A device for laterally restraining a fluid conduit comprising: first and second legs spaced apart from each other; and body means having a longitudinal axis and connecting said legs at a distance from their distal ends, said body means having a space along its longitudinal axis for receiving fluid conduit therein, said body being formed of a unitary member having first and second vertical members forming said first and second legs and third and fourth vertical members connected by a horizontal member; and first and second lateral members respectively connecting first and second vertical members to each other and said third and second vertical members to each other.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
108 words
A device for laterally restraining a fluid conduit comprising: first and second legs spaced apart from each other; and body means having a longitudinal axis and connecting said legs at a distance from their distal ends, said body means having a space along its longitudinal axis for receiving fluid conduit therein, said body being formed of a unitary member having first and second vertical members forming said first and second legs and third and fourth vertical members connected by a horizontal member; and first and second lateral members respectively connecting first and second vertical members to each other and said third and second vertical members to each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The device according to claim 1 and further comprising third and fourth longitudinal members respectively attached to said third and fourth vertical members and extending parallel to said first and second longitudinal members and spaced vertically apart therefrom, said third and fourth longitudinal members terminating approximately over said first and second vertical members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The device according to claim 3 wherein said third and fourth longitudinal members terminate in fifth and sixth vertical members extending upward from said first and second vertical members.
