Abstract:
Implementations of an applicator syringe are provided. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may be configured to dispense a lubricant from a dispensing needle thereof. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may be configured so that the plunger shaft and the dispensing needle are removable when not in use. In some implementations, when the applicator syringe has been disassembled, the dispensing needle may be stored within the barrel of the applicator syringe and the plunger shaft secured about the exterior of the barrel. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may comprise a barrel having a finger flange, a plunger positioned within the interior chamber of the barrel, a plunger shaft configured to urge the plunger forward, a dispensing needle that can be removably secured to the front end of the barrel, a removable cap, and a barrel plug.

Claim (Index 1):
An applicator syringe configured to dispense a lubricant, the applicator syringe comprising:\n a barrel, the barrel comprises an interior chamber and a neck portion having a fluid channel therethrough; a plunger having a front side and a back side, the plunger is configured to be received within the interior chamber of the barrel in a sliding fluid-tight engagement with a cylindrical sidewall thereof; a plunger shaft configured to be removably secured about the exterior of the barrel, the plunger shaft is an elongated hollow cylindrical tube with a longitudinal slit that is made of a resilient material; a dispensing needle secured to the neck portion of the barrel, the dispensing needle comprises a needle having a lumen that extends therethrough; wherein the lumen of the dispensing needle is in fluid communication with the interior chamber of the barrel while the dispensing needle is secured to the neck portion thereof; and wherein the plunger shaft can be used to move the plunger towards a front end of the barrel and thereby expel a portion of lubricant from within the interior chamber of the barrel.
