Abstract

A barrel for a control syringe, including a substantially cylindrical body, a pair of horizontal flanges extending from the top of the cylindrical body, each of the horizontal flanges having an aperture therein adjacent the cylindrical body, and a pair of substantially horizontal flanges extending from the cylindrical body and located below the apertures in the horizontal flanges. The sides of the apertures are substantially the same shape as the sides of the substantially horizontal flanges.

A single mold cavity and an integral core pin for forming the control syringe barrel are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A control syringe barrel, comprising:

a substantially cylindrical body;

a pair of opposing, horizontal flanges extending from the top of the cylindrical body;

a pair of opposing, substantially horizontal flanges extending from the cylindrical body and located below the horizontal flanges; and

a substantially straight vertical flange located beneath each of the substantially horizontal flanges and contiguous therewith and with said cylindrical body said substantially straight vertical flange having a surface radially remote from and parallel to the axis of said cylindrical body, said surface extending substantially the entire length of said vertical flange.

2. The control syringe barrel of claim 1, wherein each of said horizontal flanges includes an aperture therein adjacent said cylindrical body.

3. The control syringe barrel of claim 1, wherein the apertures are open at their extremities remote from the cylindrical body.

4. The control syringe barrel of claim 1, wherein the apertures are substantially rectangular.

5. The control syringe barrel of claim 1, wherein the bottom edges of said vertical flanges are substantially horizontal.
