First Claim
Patent Images
1. A puncturing device comprising:
- a sleeve having a top end and a bottom end, the bottom end having a hole formed therein;
a push-button mounted at the top end of the sleeve and slidable with respect to the sleeve, the push button having an inner face;
a piston which is slidably mounted in the sleeve;
a power spring placed inside the sleeve between the inner face of the push-button and the piston;
wherein the piston is provided with a puncturing tip at one end and at least one frangible wing projecting radially outward from the piston outer perimeter, the wing resting against an internal projection of the sleeve to restrict the range of sliding of the piston within the sleeve such that the puncturing tip is maintained within the sleeve; and
a return spring placed inside the sleeve between the sleeve'"'"'s bottom and the piston for biasing the puncturing tip back into the sleeve when the frangible wing is broken.

Abstract
A puncturing device which includes a sleeve (1), a push-button (2) mounted on one end of the sleeve (10), a piston (5) which has a puncturing tip (7) and is mounted in the sleeve (1), and a power spring (9) placed inside the sleeve (1) between the face (8) of the push-button (2) and the piston (5). The piston (5) has on its outside perimeter wings (11) which rest against the internal projection (12) of the sleeve (1). A return spring (10) is located inside the sleeve (1) between its bottom (3) with the hole (4) for the puncturing tip (7) and the piston (5).

8. A puncturing device comprising:
- a sleeve having first and second ends and an internal projection located between the first and second ends and a hole formed at the second end of the sleeve;
a piston slidably mounted within the sleeve, the piston having two ends and including a puncturing tip provided at one end and a plurality of frangible wings projecting radially outward from the piston and resting against the internal projection of the sleeve to restrict the range of sliding of the piston within the sleeve such that the puncturing tip is maintained within the sleeve;
a push button located proximate the first end of the sleeve and being slidable with respect to the sleeve for pushing against the end of the piston opposite the end having the puncturing tip;
a first spring for biasing the push button away from the piston, the first spring being arranged such that when the push button is pressed against the bias of the first spring into contact with the piston far enough to break the wings of the piston, the first spring acts to push the piston toward the second end of the sleeve so that the puncturing tip extends out of the hole formed in the second end of the sleeve; and
a second spring located between the end of the piston having the puncturing tip and the second end of the sleeve for biasing the puncturing tip back into the sleeve. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
