- the device shown in the above mentioned patent has a storage life which is so limited as to make it unacceptable in commercial practice.
- the present invention is believed to represent a substantial advnace in the art in that the device of the present has a reciprocating medicament vial which is adapted to made out of glass which is compatible with liquid medication and completely free of vapor moisture transfer problems. Still further, the vial of the present invention is inlike the device of the above described patent in that it is capable of being so reciprocated as to expel all of the medicinal contents of the vial, a result which was not achievable by the device of the prior art.
- the present invention comprises an injector for the injection of vaccines and the like beneath the layers of the skin or between layers of the skin comprising a base member having a bottom surface adapted to contact the surfaces of the skin, and a hollow tubular portion extending upwardly from said base member, said hollow tubular portion having received therein a medicament vial, said vial having an open end and a closed end, an imperforate stopper in said open end, said open end facing the bottom of said tubular portion, a thrust portion extending from said base member upwardly within and centrally located in said tubular portion, a needle extending upwardly in said thrust portion, the upwardly extending portion of said needle having a sharpened end adapted to puncture said stopper, said needle containing an obtuse or right angle bend and terminating with a second sharpened end in a plane at or below that plane defined by said bottom surface of said base member so that when said vial is depressed in said tubular portion, fluid communication is established between the interior of said via
- Still another object of the present invention is the provision of an injector device for vaccines in which at the time of use all of the stored medicament can be expelled through the needle and into or below the layers of the skin with none of it remaining in the device after use.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of one embodiment of the injector of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a partial side sectional view of the device of this invention showing the use of the device in the mixing of wet-dry medication
- FIG. 5 shows the device of FIG. l when it is ready to inject liquid medication
- FIG. 6 shows the device of FIG. 4 in section with the vials removed
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view along the line 7-7 in FIG.
- the body of the injector in indicated generally as 10 and has the bottom surface 12 adapted to contact the skin of the patient.
- the hollow tubular portion 14 is provided with a thrust portion 16.
- Either via] 18 or vial 20 is adapted to be received in the tubular portion.
- Each vial is equipped with a stopper 22 and 24.
- the needle 26 entends throughout the length of the thrust portion 16 and terminates in a sharpened end 28 immediately above the uppermost portion 30 of the thrust portion 16.
- the needle 26 also extends outwardly substantially along the plane of the base 12, The projections 32 and 34 on the device help to maintain the sharpened end of the needle 26 in the proper plane.
- the device of FIG. 1 is provided with adapter 38 which has integral thrush portion 40.
- the needle end 26 runs through the center of the thrust portion 40 and is snuggly received therein with the end of the needle projecting a short distance beyond the free end of the thrust portion.
- the adapter 38 has wings 42 on each side which are slidably receivable in complementary slots in projections 32 and 34 to hold the adapter in place during mixing.
- vial 18 is positioned over thrust portion 30 and vial 20 over thrust portion 40. The vial 18 is pushed down, transferring its contents to vial 20, as shown in FIG. 4. This process is repeated until mixing is completed, then the vial 20 and adapter 38 are discarded and the mixed medicament administered in the normal way.
- An injector for the injection of vaccines and the like beneath the layers of the skin or between layers of the skin comprising a base membervhaving a generally flat bottom surface adapted to contact the surfaces of the skin, and a hollow' tubular portion extending upwardly with respect to said base member, said hollow tubular portion having received therein a rigid medicament vial, said vial having an open end and a closed end, an imperforate stopper in said open end, said open end facing the bottom of said tubular portion, a thrust portion extending from said base member upwardly within and centrally located in said tubular portion, a hollow needle extending upwardly in said thrust portion, the upwardly portion of said needle having a sharpened end adapted to puncture said stopper, said needle containing an obtuse or right angle bend and terminating with a second sharpened end at or just below that plane defined by said bottom surface of said base member so that when said vial is depressed in said tubular portion, fluid communication is established between the interior of said vial and said second sharpened end.
- An injector for the injection of vaccines and the like beneath the layers of the skin or between layers of the skin comprising a base member having a generally flat bottom surface adapted to contact the surfaces of the skin, and a hollow tubular portion extending upwardly with respect to said base member, said hollow tubular portion having received therein a rigid medicament vial, said vial having an open end and a closed end, an imperforate stopper in said open end, said open end facing the bottom of said tubular portion, a thrust portion extending from said base member upwardly within and centrally located in said tubular portion, a hollow needle extending upwardly in said thrust portion, and beyond the upper end of said'thrust portion but terminating below the upper end of said hollow tubular member; the upwardly extending portion of said needle having a sharpened end adapted to puncture said stopper, said needle containing an obtuse or right angle bend and terminating with a second sharpened end at or just below that plane defined by said bottom I surface of said base member so that when said vial is depressed in said
- a two-compartment medicament storage device for the mixing of wet-dry products comprising a base member having a generally flat bottom surface adapted to contact the surfaces of the skin, and a hollow tubular portion extending upwardly with respect to said base member, said hollow tubular portion having received therein a rigid medicament vial, said vial having an open end and closed end, an imperforate stopper in said open end, said open end facing the bottom of said tubular portion, a thrust portion extending from said base member upwardly within and centrally located in said vertical tubular portion, a hollow needle extending upwardly in said vertical thrust portion and terminating in a sharpened end just beyond the end of said thrust portion, a second hollow tubular portion lying generally in the plane of said base and being carried thereby, said second hollow tubular portion having received therein a rigid medicament vial having an imperforate stopper in its open end, a second thrust portion extending concentrically within said second hollow tubular portion, said needle containing a substantially right angle bend running through the second thrust portion and terminating in
- said base includes two spaced apart projections extending horizontally from said vertical hollow tubular portion and formed integrally therewith, slots formed in said projections and facing each other, wings on opposite exterior sides of said second hollow tubular portion, said wings being slidably received in said slots whereby said second hollow tubular portion can be removed and discarded after use.
