Description

SPECIFICATION

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Lancet device for obt~i n i ng blood samples BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lancet device for obt~i n i ng blood samples.
Prior Art The lancet device is an instrument used for obt~i n i n~
a small amount of blood samples from fingertips or ear-lobes of testees for a simple blood test, etc. Such operation for obtaining blood samples when fulfilled by doctors or nurses as usual has no particular problems.
Recently, patients such as diabetics need to take blood samples by themselves for self-management of the disease.
In this case, a usual sewing needle or the like may be used for taking blood samples, but it is difficult or impossible for the patients, particularly, women or the aged, by themselves to cause the needle to pierce.
In this regard, there have been proposed lancet de-vices for obtaining blood samples which comprise a simple device with a needle adapted to protrude from the device in such a manner that the device is first abutted against the earlobe, etc., and then a rear part of the device is pushed or a lever or a button provided on a lateral side of the device is pushed, so that the needle is protruded to slightly pierce the skin and cause a quite small amount of bleeding.
In the rear part-push type among the conventional simple lancet devices, it is difficult for users to hold the device and push the rear part with one hand, and also difficult to apply force. The lateral lever or button -push type is operable with ease but needs to be changed in holding positions to keep the lever or button at an un-varying position with respect to user's hand.
In the conventional lancet devices, the needle is urged by a spring and engaged and retained by a retaining part formed on the device's body (surrounding the needle).
The ret~ining part is removed or shifted to release the engagement of the needle with the body. For the purpose, force is to be applied in the direction as radially out-wardly of the device's body. The action for applying the force in this manner is quite unreasonable and further needs use of a lever or a gear mechanism when the action is to be made only by pushing operation, resulting in com-plication in the force-applying action and the mechanism of the device.
Furthermore, the lancet devices in a disposable type have prevailed in recent years for prevention of infection with various bacteria and virus even when the blood-sample taking operation is fulfilled by doctors or nurses. The conventional lancet devices in the disposable type cannot be judged at a glance whether it has been used or not, i.e., to be identified as a new one, leading to waste in use of the devices.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a lancet device for obt~ining blood samples which enables that obt~i n i ng blood samples can be surely performed with a simple instrument and operation, having no fear or mis-take-that an old or used device is applied inadvertently.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an example of the lancet device for obtaining blood samples accord-ing to the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the example shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is sectional views illustrating a method of use of the example shown in Fig. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Under the above circumstances the inventor zealously studied and achieved the lancet device for obtaining blood samples according to the present invention. The lancet device for obtaining blood samples comprises a body, a spring housed therein, a needle urged by the spring, a ret~ining mechanism for preventing the needle from projecting, a release part for releasing the retainment of the needle, and a needle cover covering the needle, wherein the retaining mechAnism includes a needle-mounting member with an elastic member fixed thereto and a retain-ing part formed on the body and engaged with the elasticmember, and the release part includes a releasing member formed on the body.
The body referred to herein is the whole of a casing housing the needle and spring therein. The casing con-sists of two or more sections which can be divided or opened and closed and house therein the needle and spring.
The body is provided with the releasing member which is shiftable and the ret~ining part which is engaged with a compon~nt including the needle to prevent the needle from projecting from the body.
The spring is provided for causing the needle to pro-ject from the body for blee~in~ and may be spiral as usual or folded or a leaf spring, which is stretchable when released from a shrinked state. The spring may be made of metal or plastics. In addition, the needle may use an ordinary needle which is usable in taking blood samples.
The ret~ining mechanism is provided for preventing, against the biasing force of the spring, the needle from projecting from the body and comprises, in the present invention, an elastic member fixed a member mounting the needle, and a ret~ining part formed on the body engageable with the elastic member. The member mounting the needle is made of plastics molded cont~ining therein the needle, and the elastic member is a&ered or melted to or integrally molded with the needle-mounting member. The elastic member is decreased in an engagement width by an exerted force from the outside so as to be released of engagement with the ret~ining part. In detail, the elastic member may be simply formed in a U-like shape which can be made smaller in the interval between the opposite portions by a p~l~hing force exerted from both sides. The elastic member may be formed in a triangular or other shapes and also may have a stepped portion at the engaging part for sure engagement.
The retaining part which is formed on the body and engaged with the elastic member projects inwardly of the body. The elastic member when it is free abuts against the ret~ining part to thereby be prevented from further projecting.

The release member may use any features that make smaller the engagement width of the elastic member and is not limited of shapes, materials, etc., to any particular ones. The release member may employ a protuberance formed on the body, so that the body is pushed to cause the protuberance to push the elastic member. Alternative-ly, the laterial side of the body itself in place of the protuberance may be used to push the elastic member, the lateral side of the body serving as the release member. Furthermore, a separate button or the like for releasing the engagement of the elastic member may be provided on the laterial side of the body.
The needle cover covers the end of the needle and is removed in use of the device. The needle cover may be preferably integrally molded with the needle-mounting member and made smaller in thickness or diameter at a part at which the needle cover is cut or separated from the needle-mounting member by use of a relatively small force. In this feature, the needle cover is not separated from the needle-mounting member during a usual trans-portation, packaging or other operations, but can be removed by user's twisting or drawing the needle cover.
The needle cover may be preferably provided at the free end with a small head for readily twisting off the cover.

EMBODIMENTS
Next, the present invention will be detailed with referring to the examples shown in the att~ch~ drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the lancet device for obt~ining blood samples according to the present invention. In the drawing, the body 2 and the head 3 of the needle cover are seen. The lancet device is in the size of about lcmx 4cm. Fig. 2 is an exploded per-spective view of the example shown in Fig. 1. An upper part 4 of the body 2 can be opened like a lid. Both lateral sides 6 of a lower part 5 of the body 2 are shiftable inwardly of the body, i.e., a bottom plate of the lower part 5 is partially cut to allow the lateral sides 6 to be moved in the space. The lateral sides 6 have protuberances 7 on the inner surfaces. A member 9 mounting or containing a needle 8 therein and a spring 10 for causing the needle 8 to project outwardly are housed in the body 2. An elastic member 11 is firmly fixed to (or may be integrally molded with) the needle-mounting member 9. The elastic member 11 has a stepped portion 12 at both sides to be abutted against and engaged with a ret~ining part 13 of the body 2. A needle cover 14 for protecting an end of the needle 8 is molded integrally with the needle-mounting member 9. A part 15 of the needle cover 14 at which the cover 14 is cut and removed to expose the needle 8 is made smaller in thickness or diameter to be readily cut. The needle cover 14 has at the free end a head 3 for readily twisting off the needle cover 14. The needle cover 14 projects outwardly from the body 2 through an opening 16.
Next, specific operation of this e_ample will be re-ferred to. Figs. 3(a)-(c) are sectional views illustrat-ing the states of use of the example. Fig. 3(a) shows the state before use of the device, wherein the needle 8 is placed inside the needle cover 14 to be free of danger and fear of contact with bacteria and virus. In this state, the spring 10 is contracted and not eYp~n~e~ due to abut-ment between the stepped portion 12 and the ret~ining part 13.
The head 3 is twisted to twist off and remove the needle cover 14 at the part 15 from the needle-mounting member 9 (Fig. 3(b)). In this state, the needle 8 is e~Gsed in the body 2 to thereby be not contacted with the user's hands.
Next, the device is brought, at the opening 16, into abutment against any locations for t~ki ng blood samples, for example, users' hands, earlobes, etc., and both sides of the body 2 are pinch~ to push the lateral sides 6 (Fig. 3(c)) to shift them to the position indicated by the lateral sides 61. The protuberances 7 on the lateral sides push both of the opposite portions of the elastic member 11 to make smaller an interval between the corr-esponding stepped portions 12 than an interval between the corresponAing side walls of the ret~inin~ part 13, thereby releasing engagement between the elastic member 11 and the ret~ining part 13. In this instance, the needle 8 is projected from the body through the opening 16 by the force of spring. An interval from a plane including the opening 16 abutting against the testee's skin to the utmost end of the needle 8 is the piercing amount or depth of the needle 8. Naturally, the needle 8 does not stop at an utmost position in projecting but retracts immediately to finally stop at a position where the spring does neither eYp~nd nor contract. The spring is prefer-ably adjusted to allow the free end of the needle 8 to be located in the body at that final stoppage position of the needle 8.
In this example, a stopper for preventing the needle from eYcescively projecting is provided around the op~ning 16 of the body 2 to be engageable with the stepped portions 12, so that the elastic member 11 is stopped at the stopper to ensure safety.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention explained above has the follow-ing effects.(1) The needle before use is completely covered, so that the needle has no fear of contact with bacteria or virus.
(2) The needle is projected only by pll~hi ng the lateral sides of the body, requiring a simple operation and a small amount of force. But, there is no fear of unexpect-ed projection o the needle since the device needs to be pushed at both lateral sides.
(3) The device needs only to be made smaller in an interval of the opposite portions of the housed elastic member, so that the device is operated by a simple action and needs a simple structure.
(4) Most of the structure of the device can be built up by integral molding of plastics to be not expensive to produce and the device can be sold at a price fully reasonable as disposable type.
