Abstract

A safety syringe comprises a barrel having a projection in a rear end thereof, a needle holder for mount of a needle, the needle holder having a dragged portion, a stopper movable in the barrel, the stopper having a drag portion adapted for engaging into the dragged portion of the needle holder and a plunger connector, a plunger for moving the stopper in the barrel having a stopper connector engaged with the plunger connector of the stopper. When pulled backwards to the end after injection, the plunger connector of the stopper is forced onto the projection of the barrel and disengaged from the plunger, enabling the plunger to be removed from said barrel.

Claims

1. A safety syringe, which is to mount a needle, comprising:

a barrel having a tubular body defining a receiving hole, a projection disposed in one end of said tubular body, and an insertion hole axially extended through said projection;

a needle holder mounted in the receiving hole of said barrel and for holding the needle outside said tubular body of said barrel, said needle holder having a dragged portion;

a stopper mounted in said receiving hole of said barrel for axial movement between two distal ends of said barrel, said stopper having a drag portion adapted for engaging into the dragged portion of said needle holder for enabling said needle holder to be moved backwards with said stopper in said barrel, and a plunger connector; and

a plunger inserted into the insertion hole of said barrel, said plunger having a stopper connector engaged into the plunger connector of said stopper for enabling said stopper to be moved with said plunger;

wherein when pulled said plunger backwards to carry said stopper, said needle holder and said needle backwards to end of said barrel, said plunger connector of said stopper is forced by the projection of said barrel to expand, thereby causing said stopper to be disengaged from said plunger for enabling said plunger to be removed from said barrel.

2. The safety syringe as defined in claim 1, wherein said plunger connector of said stopper have two hook plates symmetrically disposed at two sides.

3. The safety syringe as defined in claim 1, wherein said plunger connector of said stopper has a cylindrical shape.

4. The safety syringe as defined in claim 1, wherein said projection of said barrel has a conical shape.

5. The safety syringe as defined in claim 4, wherein said projection of said barrel has a sliding face formed in the periphery thereof.

6. The safety syringe as defined in claim 5, wherein said sliding face of the projection of the barrel is a curved surface.

7. The safety syringe as defined in claim 1, wherein said plunger connector of said stopper has a sliding face open outwards and adapted for guiding said plunger connector onto the projection of said barrel.

8. The safety syringe as defined in claim 7, wherein the sliding face of said plunger connector of said stopper is slopes linearly.

9. The safety syringe as defined in claim 7, wherein the sliding face of said plunger connector of said stopper is smoothly arched.
