Patent ID: 7104400

Claim:
A medical syringe container comprising a housing, at least one medical syringe in the housing, an outlet through which an unused syringe can be removed from the housing, an inlet through which a syringe can be replaced into the housing, said housing comprising two parts including an inner housing portion and an outer housing portion which are adapted to be squeezed together, biasing means to bias the housing portions away from each other, said inner housing portion including a syringe support, said syringe support retaining the syringes in a side by side relationship that allows the syringes to move from the inlet to the outlet, said syringe support comprising a pair of spaced apart rails adapted to support a syringe by laterally extending tabs which extend from the syringe, said rails being spaced apart by a distance sufficient to allow a syringe body to slide along the rails, and holding means to prevent a second unused syringe from being removed from said housing until a syringe has been replaced into the housing, wherein replacement of the syringe into the housing causes the second unused syringe to move past said holding means and to the outlet to enable removal of the second unused syringe through the outlet.
