Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000038768
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device for shielding, in particular after use, the free end of a hypodermic needle secured to a hypodermic syringe comprises a shielding part at least partly surrounding the hypodermic needle, which shielding part is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the hypodermic needle by means of control means connected with the hypodermic syringe, the control means being foldable by a hinge joint between a position in which the component parts of the control means make an angle with each other and a substantially stretched position. The control means are formed by a first connecting element hingedly connected with the hypodermic syringe and a second connecting element hingedly connected with the first connecting element, at the end of which second connecting element the shielding part is fixed, at least one of the connecting elements being relatively rigid.
