Abstract
The syringe has a needle-attachment piece which forms a connection neck for affixing the syringe needle and which is held at the cylinder nozzle of the syringe cylinder by a connection piece notched in at the cylinder nozzle. The connection piece is provided with a collar which externally surrounds the connection neck sealing it tightly and mechanically stiffening the same, so that the syringe needle can be held in a stable manner, even when the needle-attachment piece is made of a soft elastic material, in order to provide a perfect seal.
