Description
~,285441 FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to hypodermic needles, and especially a syringe assembly, and specifically to such an assembly that is safe to use in a medical environment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Typical means for ensuring the sterility of a hypodermic needle prior to use, and for the protection of a handler subse-quent to use, include the familiar cap that seats on a collar surrounding the needle. However, these caps do not reliably protect persons handling the syringe after use. There have been numerous instances of injuries and consequent infection caused by users trying to slide a cap back over a needle, and in doing so puncturing their own skins. While in many instances little harm results from such injuries, with the advent of auto-immune disease syndrome (AIDS) medical persons have viewed with greater alarm the ease with which a potentially contaminated needle can puncture the skin of anyone handling the syringe subsequent to the administra-tion of an injection to or the withdrawal of blood from a patient who may have a highly communicable disease.
The typical modern syringe is a disposable item having a plunger, barrel and needle with a protective cap over the needle~ Many attempts have been made to improve on the conventional needle protection means described above, and perhaps the most relevant known to applicant is disclosed in U.S.

The syringe disclosed in the patent has the usual barrel, plunger and needle, however, an additional sleeve is slidable over the barrel. The primary purpose of the sleeve is to provide a means for determining precisely the depth of penetration of the needle 6, in Figure 1 of the patent, into human tissue. The patentee clearly had in mind safety, i.e., minimizing undesired puncture wounds by the user, however, the patent does not address the problem of the security of the sleeve when it is positioned over the needle subsequent to the use of the syringe.
There remains a need for a disposable syringe assembly having a safety cover which, once locked in position, cannot, without the use of considerable force, be removed from its locked position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a syringe comprising: a barrel having a hypodermic needle mounted on one end thereof, said barrel being of transparent cylindrical form over the major portion of its length; a piston mounted for movement longitudinally within said barrel and connected to a handle that projects from the opposite end of said barrel; a sleeve dimensioned to fit over said barrel, and mounted to be slidable therealong, said sleeve having an internal projection and being movable axlally between an extended position wherein it projects from said one end of said barrel beyond the tip of said needle and a retracted position wherein it coaxially surrounds said barrel and exposes said needle for use, said sleeves having a length that corresponds to that of said barrel and comprising a cylindrical wall that is transparent such that in said retracted position it affords unimpeded visibility of substantially the entire extent of 128S44i said transparent portion and thus the interior of said barrel;
first locking means for securely lockin~ said sleeve in said extended position in which said needle i~ fully covered to prevent injury to a user by said needle, said first locking means comprising walls that define a locking recess in said barrel into which recess said internal projection can be positioned by predetermined movement of said sleeve relative to said barrel in said extended position, said barrel including an inclined ramp that approaches said locking recess to guide and facilitate entry of said projection into said recess; and a second locking means to securely lock said sleeve when in said retracted position against axial movement relative to said barrel.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OE` THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings, which illustrate an emhodiments of the invention;
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a syringe according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with its protec-tive sheath extended;
Figure 3 is an illustration of the syringe with the sheath separated therefrom, and;
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
In the drawings, 10 is a typical syringe having a barrel 11, a plunger 12 bearing a piston 15, and a needle 13.
Indicia 14 on the barrel 11 indicate, by reference to the end of the piston 15, the amount of fluid drawn into the syringe, as is well known.
A sleeve 16 is dimensioned to fit closely over the barrel 11 so that in its initial position it covers the barrel 11 entirely, allowing the needle 13 to project beyond the end of the sleeve, that is, to the left in Figure 1. The syringe is pro-vided, as packaged, with a standard smaller sleeve 17 of the typeknown in the art which, in the case of the present invention, is removed prior to use and discarded, since it need not be used again. Barrel 11 and sleeve 16 are formed from a suitable plastic ma~erial.
The sleeve 16 is secured prior to use by the screw threads at 24 on the outside of the barrel 11, and matching screw threads 25 on the inside of the distal end of the sleeve. The 1~85441 screw threads 24 are formed, in a manner known in the art, such that a quarter-turn of the sleeve 16 in relation to the barrel 11 releases the sleeve 16 for axial movement along the barrel 11. In Figure 2, the sleeve 16 is shown fully extended to a position where it entirely covers the needle 13, and it is impossible to make accidental physical contact with the needle. Preferably, a cap 8 is provided having external threads 26 matching the threads 25. The cap is packaged with the syringe 10 and used to ensure the safety of the assembly after use.
Illustrated on the outside of the barrel 11 is a forma-tion, in the plastic material from which the barrel is formed, of a feature critical to the invention, i.e., the aforementioned secure locking means. Formed on the inside of the sleeve 16 is a protrusion 18 that extends radially inwardly a short distance corresponding to a groove 19 (Figure 2) formed in the outside of the barrel 11. The groove 19 extends axially along the barrel, and at its right hand orinner end extends circumferentially to permit the aforementioned quarter turn locking of the sleeve in the rest position via the threads 24,25. The radial extension 3 of the groove 19 therefore extends over a quarter, or slightly more than a quarter, of the circumference of the barrel 11. At the opposite or outer end of the groove 11, a ramp 31 is formed extending in depth from its maximum at the groove 19 radially outwardly to a recess 32 corresponding in size and shape to the protrusion 18. Thus, once the sleeve has been rotated a quarter turn freeing it from the threads 24 and freeing it from the portion 30 of the groove, the sleeve can be pulled along the 1~8544~
barrel with the protrusion 18 engaged in the groove l9 to its outermost or left hand position. Rotation of the sleeve 16 then causes the protrusion 18 to ride resiliently up the ramp 31 and drop into the recess 32, thus locking the sleeve firmly in the disposal position shown in Figure 2. It will be appreciated that the sleeve 16 cannot be removed from the locked position without considerable force applied either torsionally or axially and as a consequence the user is protected, as are, for example, cleaning staff. The cap 8 is subsequently screwed into position in the barrel to complete the protective covering.
It will also be understood that while the invention is primarily intended for use with a syringe, other assemblies having percutaneous needles can be equipped in like manner with protective sleeves.
This invention relates to hypodermic needles, and especially a syringe assembly, and specifically to such an assembly that is safe to use in a medical environment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OE` THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings, which illustrate an emhodiments of the invention;
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a syringe according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with its protec-tive sheath extended;
Figure 3 is an illustration of the syringe with the sheath separated therefrom, and;
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
In the drawings, 10 is a typical syringe having a barrel 11, a plunger 12 bearing a piston 15, and a needle 13.
Indicia 14 on the barrel 11 indicate, by reference to the end of the piston 15, the amount of fluid drawn into the syringe, as is well known.
A sleeve 16 is dimensioned to fit closely over the barrel 11 so that in its initial position it covers the barrel 11 entirely, allowing the needle 13 to project beyond the end of the sleeve, that is, to the left in Figure 1. The syringe is pro-vided, as packaged, with a standard smaller sleeve 17 of the typeknown in the art which, in the case of the present invention, is removed prior to use and discarded, since it need not be used again. Barrel 11 and sleeve 16 are formed from a suitable plastic ma~erial.
The sleeve 16 is secured prior to use by the screw threads at 24 on the outside of the barrel 11, and matching screw threads 25 on the inside of the distal end of the sleeve. The 1~85441 screw threads 24 are formed, in a manner known in the art, such that a quarter-turn of the sleeve 16 in relation to the barrel 11 releases the sleeve 16 for axial movement along the barrel 11. In Figure 2, the sleeve 16 is shown fully extended to a position where it entirely covers the needle 13, and it is impossible to make accidental physical contact with the needle. Preferably, a cap 8 is provided having external threads 26 matching the threads 25. The cap is packaged with the syringe 10 and used to ensure the safety of the assembly after use.
Illustrated on the outside of the barrel 11 is a forma-tion, in the plastic material from which the barrel is formed, of a feature critical to the invention, i.e., the aforementioned secure locking means. Formed on the inside of the sleeve 16 is a protrusion 18 that extends radially inwardly a short distance corresponding to a groove 19 (Figure 2) formed in the outside of the barrel 11. The groove 19 extends axially along the barrel, and at its right hand orinner end extends circumferentially to permit the aforementioned quarter turn locking of the sleeve in the rest position via the threads 24,25. The radial extension 3 of the groove 19 therefore extends over a quarter, or slightly more than a quarter, of the circumference of the barrel 11. At the opposite or outer end of the groove 11, a ramp 31 is formed extending in depth from its maximum at the groove 19 radially outwardly to a recess 32 corresponding in size and shape to the protrusion 18. Thus, once the sleeve has been rotated a quarter turn freeing it from the threads 24 and freeing it from the portion 30 of the groove, the sleeve can be pulled along the 1~8544~
barrel with the protrusion 18 engaged in the groove l9 to its outermost or left hand position. Rotation of the sleeve 16 then causes the protrusion 18 to ride resiliently up the ramp 31 and drop into the recess 32, thus locking the sleeve firmly in the disposal position shown in Figure 2. It will be appreciated that the sleeve 16 cannot be removed from the locked position without considerable force applied either torsionally or axially and as a consequence the user is protected, as are, for example, cleaning staff. The cap 8 is subsequently screwed into position in the barrel to complete the protective covering.
It will also be understood that while the invention is primarily intended for use with a syringe, other assemblies having percutaneous needles can be equipped in like manner with protective sleeves.
