Application May 8, 1944, smaino. sat-s41 Claims.
This invention-relates to-an insulinkit and has user and'which will maintain the syringe and needle antiseptic solution when notzimuse; which will provide protection .for the insulin hottlerandrneedle in the same :container with :the' syringeand solution; which will ;-provide -.a convenient and sanitary supporting rest for the syringe when it is removed from the container; which will provide convenient means for sharpening the needle; and which will support the entire assembly of bottle syringe and needle as a unit so as to allow removal of all elements from the container simultaneously.
Other objects and advantages reside in the detail construction of the invention, which is designed for simplicity, economy, and efliciency. These will become more apparent from the following description.
In the following detailed description of the invention reference is had to the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof. Like numerals refer to like parts in all views of the drawing and throughout the description.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section through the improved insulin kit with the bottle and syringe in place therein;
Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 are cross sectional views taken on the section lines of their respective numbers in Fig. 1;
Fig. 6 is a top view of the improved kit; and
Fig. 7 is a detail view illustrating a supporting clip employed in the kit. s
In the drawing the various elements of aminsulin kit are designated by numeral as follows: insulin bottle [8, syringe l9, syringe plunger 20, hypodermic needle 2!, and plunger holder 22.
The improved kit employs a cylindrical receptacle Ill of glass or other suitable solution-proof material partially filled with alcohol 28 or other suitable antiseptic fluid. The receptacle H! has a closed bottom H and a threaded neck 12. An internal shoulder I3 is formed within the neck l2 below the open extremity thereof to support an annular resilient gasket I4 of exceedingly soft flexible material such as soft rubber. The receptacle I is closed by means of a cylindrical cap l5 having internal threads to be threaded onto the neck I 2 of the receptacle ID.
The cap I5 is closed at its top and the closed top thereof contains a groove Hi, to serve as a rest for the hypodermic syringe l9, and an im- :beilded arhetstone at its die :nsed :for sharpenin thehypodermic needle 21. The cap kii-isrdesigned for acontaining the zinsulin :bottle 15 and :the ;re-
centacle Ml :designedior icnntaining'the :hynodermic syringe l9, its plunger 20 and its needleil. mhessxtin e I 9 isgmlspended-nniits plunger? by :means :of the :frictien holder 22 with which standard insulin syringes are provided. .Theanlunger .20 is suspended ifrom the neck 50f {the insulin :bottle A18 :by :means of ;.a spring '-.'Wl.'le
:clip 23,.whichds illustratedin detail in Fig. '7.
The clip 23 is formed with an upper loop 24, which is shaped to be snapped around the neck of the insulin bottle [8, and with separated, looped extremities 25, which are snapped around the plunger 20 below the head thereof.
The needle 2| is protected by means of a sleeve 26 of rubber or similar flexible material which is slipped over the shank of the needle 2|. The lower portion of the sleeve 26 may be filled with porous pervious material, such as sponge rubber 21, into which the needle is inserted for further protection. A cushion 29 of absorbent cotton. sponge rubber or other material is placed in the bottom of the receptacle for further protection of the needle.
The user removes the cap l5 and sets it to one side of the receptacle ID. He then grasps the insulin bottle l8 drawing it upwardly. The resilience of the gasket M allows the clip 23 and the syringe with its attached needle and tube 26 to be withdrawn through the gasket. If desired, the gasket M can be made to withdraw and remain about the neck of the bottle l8. It is preferred, however, to have the gasket remain in the receptacle and to withdraw the elements through the open center thereof. The user then slips the plunger 20 from the looped extremities 25 of the clip 23 and removes the tube 26 from the needle and the elements are ready for use. The groove l6 provides a convenient sanitary rest for the syringe during the preparatory steps.
When the injection is completed the tube 26 is slipped over the needle, the plunger 20 is slipped into the clip 23 and the entire assembly is slid through the opening in the gasket l4 until the bottle l8 rests against the gasket. The cap I5 is then screwed into place against the bottle l8 so as to force the latter tight against the gasket M to seal the receptacle and prevent escape of the alcohol 28 or other antiseptic fluids.
The sponge rubber 21 when removed from the needle can be used as a sterilizing pad for sterilizing the skin before the injection. It always remains sterile since it is constantly immersed in the antiseptic 28.
While a specific form of the improvement has been described and illustrated herein, it is desired to be understood that the same may be varied, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired secured by Letters Patent is:
1. An insulin kit comprising: a tubular container closed at one extremity; a threaded neck on the other extremity of said container; an annular resilient gasket within the open extremity of said container; an inverted bottle resting on said gasket, said bottle having a narrowed neck projecting downwardly through said gasket into said container; a cap threaded onto the threaded neck of said container, said cap enclosing and contacting the upturned bottom of said bottle and forcing the neck through and into sealing contact with said gasket; a hypodermic syringe; and means on the neck of'said bottle for supporting said hypodermic syringe within said container. v
2. An insulin kit comprising: a tubular container closed at one extremity; a threaded neck on the other extremity of said container; an annular resilient gasket within the open extremity of said container; an inverted bottle resting on said gasket, said bottle having a narrowed neck projecting downwardly through said gasket into said container; a cap threaded onto the threaded neck of said container, said cap enclosing and contacting the upturned bottom of said bottle and forcing the neck through and into sealing contact with said gasket; a, hypodermic syringe; a plunger projecting upward from said syringe; means on the neck of said bottle for supporting said hypodermic syringe within said container, said latter means comprising a length of spring wire, a loop formed at the middle portion of said wire for receiving the neck of the bottle and looped extremities on said wire engaging the plunger of the hypodermic syringe.
