Rotatable hypodermic needle and method of use
First Claim
1. A hypodermic needle that rotatably connects to a shield comprising:
- (A) a hypodermic needle bent into a distal needle portion and a proximal needle portion, the distal needle portion further having a needle tip, the proximal needle portion having a connection aperture;
(B) a shield that comprises at least a skin pad portion and a vertical blade, the vertical blade being permanently set at a non-parallel orientation to the skin pad portion, the proximal needle portion being rotatably held within a portion of the shield in a manner that allows the distal needle portion to be placed directly underneath the skin pad portion and to be moved between an operative position that locates the distal needle portion in a parallel orientation to the vertical blade so as to place the needle tip away from the skin pad portion and a stored position that locates the distal needle portion at a non-parallel orientation to the vertical blade and has the needle tip of the distal needle portion placed proximate to the skin pad portion wherein the skin pad portion is not bent or folded around the distal needle portion and the entire distal needle portion remains directly underneath the skin pad portion when moved between the operative and stored positions.

Abstract
One possible embodiment of the invention could be a hypodermic needle that rotatably connects to a shield comprising a hypodermic needle denoted into a distal needle portion and a proximal needle portion, the distal needle portion'"'"'s injection aperture continuously connected to the proximal needle portion'"'"'s connection aperture; a shield that comprises at least a skin pad portion, the proximal needle portion being rotatably held within a portion of the shield in a manner that allows the distal needle portion to be moved between an operative position, wherein the distal needle portion descends downward and away from a bottom of the skin pad portion to hold the needle tip away from the skin pad portion to a stored position that has the needle tip of the distal needle portion placed proximate to the skin pad portion.
