Cylinder holder for a syringe barrel
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cylinder holder for an injection apparatus in combination with a syringe barrel, comprising:
- a flange insertion groove adapted to fix the syringe having a barrel and a piston by holding a flange on said syringe barrel; and
a positioning mechanism installed in the cylinder holder;
the positioning mechanism engages a concave portion provided on the flange of the syringe barrel, wherein the flange on the syringe barrel is capable of being inserted into the flange insertion groove in a state that the syringe barrel and the syringe piston are coupled, wherein said syringe piston has a rod and a piston flange at an end of the rod, and wherein said syringe can be mounted on the cylinder holder from the direction parallel to the insertion groove;
wherein the rod of the syringe piston is of sufficient length that when the piston is fully pressed, the piston flange at the end portion of the piston is not inserted in the syringe barrel;
wherein, the syringe barrel and the syringe piston, coupled, are mounted on the cylinder holder such that the flange of the syringe barrel is inserted into the flange insertion groove from the direction parallel to the insertion groove; and
wherein when the syringe barrel is rotated to the use position after the insertion, the engagement of the positioning mechanism and the concave portion of the flange of the syringe barrel takes place.

Abstract
Since this syringe has projections provided on the rear surface of a flange of a syringe barrel, when it is inserted in an insertion groove of a cylinder holder, the tips of projections are compressed and the flange is fixed. Consequently, even when a solution having high viscosity is injected at higher pressure, breakage does not occur easily. Further, pressure-receiving area may also be increased by providing a guide defining mounting direction of a syringe, alternatively, a positioning mechanism may be provided so as to obtain mounting at a correct position, or the surface of a flange may be roughened.
