US 6719732 B2Abstract
What is claimed is: 1. A device for protecting a syringe needle comprising an elastic needle cap of generally longitudinal direction presenting a closed distal end and an open proximal end, said cap being formed by a lateral wall extending from said proximal end along a proximal end zone, defining an inner housing adapted to receive the distal part of the body of a needle syringe, and by an end wall whose thickness extends from said distal end along a distal end zone, said end wall being capable of being pierced through a part of its thickness by the free end of said needle,
said housing comprising, from said proximal end: an opening presenting a maximum diameter, a first portion of truncated or cylindrical shape, of circular cross-section, a second cylindrical portion of circular cross-section presenting a diameter smaller than said maximum diameter and intended to house the distal part of the syringe body which bears said needle, and a third portion which narrows from said second portion in the direction of a back of said housing, wherein said lateral wall is further provided with an annular bead disposed in said housing between said first and second portions of said housing, at least one slot extending longitudinally in said annular bead. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said bead presents in longitudinal cross-section the shape of a half drop of water of which the widest part faces the proximal end of the cap.
Another projecting shoulder 58 connects the third part 56 to a fourth part 60 of truncated shape which extends up to the level of the first portion 40 of the housing 26. This fourth part 60 is extended in the direction of the proximal end of the cap 20 by a fifth part 62 of cylindrical shape of circular cross-section, itself adjacent a sixth part 64 recessed with respect to the fifth part 62. This sixth part 64 comprises a shoulder surface 66 forming an angle very slightly smaller than 90� with respect to the fifth part 62 and an annular face 68 close to the opening 36 and of cylindrical shape of circular cross-section. This sixth part is thus constituted by an annular shoulder 64 re-entrant in the direction of the proximal end 22.
Due to the presence of this annular bead 70 which is applied in close contact against the truncated joining part 104 c, it is unnecessary for the diameter D2 of the second portion 42 of the housing 26 to ensure considerable tightening about the median part 104 a. However a tight contact must be ensured by the second portion 42 of the housing 26 against the median part 104 a of the distal part 104 of the syringe in order to maintain the housing 26 sterile after passage in an autoclave. The tightness in question is a microbiological tightness allowing a sterility to be maintained, i.e. guaranteeing the absence of microbial germs or toxic products of microbial or fungic origin.
These four cut-outs 94 are (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8) of generally longitudinal shape and are distributed radially at 90� with respect to one another.
