Abstract
Abstract A safety device for an injection syringe comprising an outer casing (1) defining an injection fluid space with a plunger (11) movable therein, said plunger being adapted to be coupled with a plunger rod (6) provided with an actuating knob or ring, while at the opposite end of said casing a needle foot (16) equipped with a hollow needle (15) may be fixed thereto in such a manner that the needle bore communicates with the interior of the fluid space, the needle foot (16) being movable inwards relative to the outer casing and adapted to be coupled to the piston in order that the needle may be retracted into said outer casing; the needle foot (16) and the casing (1) are provided with mutually engageable locking means for locking the needle foot (16) in its non-retracted position, and the plunger (11) or the plunger rod (6) and the needle (15) or the needle foot (16) are provided with means for coupling the plunger (11) or plunger rod (6) with the needle (15) or needle foot (16) and releasing the needle or needle foot lock after the plunger (11) has been completely pushed all the way into the injection fluid space (1, 10).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A syringe body for medications injected from a cartridge, comprising: an elongate casing having first and second ends and an interior surface which defines a chamber for receiving a cartridge; said first end having an opening adapted for slidable engagement with a plunger movable within said chamber, said opening including means for preventing removal of said plunger from said chamber and said second end being adapted for engagement with a needle cap; said plunger comprising an actuator handle having a rod and a needle foot engagement means extending therefrom; and a blocking means for preventing a cartridge disposed within said chamber from passing through said opening until said plunger has been passed through said opening into said chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A syringe body for medications injected from a cartridge, comprising: an elongate casing having first and second ends and an interior surface which defines a chamber for receiving a cartridge; said first end having an opening adapted for slidable engagement with a plunger movable within said chamber, said opening including means for preventing removal of said plunger from said chamber and said second end being adapted for engagement with a needle cap; said plunger comprising an actuator handle having a rod and a needle foot engagement means extending therefrom; and a blocking means for preventing a cartridge disposed within said chamber from passing through said opening until said plunger has been passed through said opening into said chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
74 words
The syringe body of claim 1, wherein the blocking means comprises a plurality of resilient fingers having a first position for preventing a cartridge from being withdrawn from said chamber through said opening and cooperating surfaces disposed on said fingers and said plunger for urging said fingers into a second position which permits a cartridge to be withdrawn from said chamber through said opening when said plunger has been fully extended into said chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A syringe comprising the syringe body of claim 2; a needle cap engaged with said second end; a needle foot disposed in a seat within said needle cap so that it may be coupled to said plunger by said needle foot engaging means, released from said seat and withdrawn into said chamber along with a hollow needle extending therefrom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The syringe of claim 3, wherein said needle foot engaging means comprises a plurality of resilient fingers disposed on said needle foot and adapted to lockingly engage a sleeve circumferentially disposed about said rod when said plunger has been fully extended into said chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The syringe of claim 4, wherein said interior surface of said casing cooperates with said needle foot engaging means to prevent accidental of said needle foot and said sleeve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The syringe of claim 5, wherein said needle foot further comprises a means for engaging a cartridge having a rubber stopper in one end that may pierced by said hollow needle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
The syringe of claim 6, wherein said needle foot further comprises a projection adapted to deform a stopper in a cartridge engaged therewith when said plunger is pressed so that when said plunger is released the stopper is restored to its normal shape creating a suction in said hollow needle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
The syringe of claim 3, further comprising a plurality of ripples disposed on an interior surface of said needle cap so as to prevent said hollow needle from exiting said chamber after it has been withdrawn.
