Abstract

The present invention provides a combined container-syringe comprising a syringe body containing a cylindrical-shaped cylinder; a cylindrical tip provided at the anterior end of said cylinder; a finger grip fitted to the posterior end of the cylinder; an injection needle fitted to the cylindrical tip; and a protector covering said injection needle. In addition, the present invention provides a method of assembling a combined container-syringe characterized in comprising an injection needle assembly preparatory process of preparing an injection needle assembly; a detection process of detecting the position of the cutting surface; a mark display process of indicating the detected position of the cutting surface; an aligning process of aligning the positions of the mark and a scale display provided on the exterior portion of the cylinder, on the circumference of the cylinder; and a fitting process of fitting the injection needle assembly to the cylindrical tip.

Claims (11)

1. A combined container-syringe comprising a syringe body containing a cylindrical-shaped cylinder; a cylindrical tip provided at an anterior end of the cylinder; a finger grip provided at a posterior end of said cylinder; an injection needle fitted to said cylindrical tip; and a protector covering said injection needle; wherein, a mark indicating a position of a cutting surface on a circumference of said injection needle is provided on each exterior surface of an attachment of said injection needle for fitting said injection needle to said cylindrical tip, and said protector; and a position of said mark and a position of a scale display, provided on an exterior portion of said cylinder, are in alignment on a circumference of said cylinder.

2. A combined container-syringe comprising a syringe body containing a cylindrical-shaped cylinder; a cylindrical tip provided at an anterior end of the cylinder; a finger grip provided at a posterior end of said cylinder; an injection needle fitted to said cylindrical tip; and a protector covering said injection needle, wherein said cylindrical tip comprises a hub luer lock that is attachable to the anterior end of said cylinder and contains a luer tapered member and a luer locking member equipped with a screw member, such that said injection needle is fitted to said cylindrical tip via a needle base attached to said injection needle by means of fitting said needle base to said luer tapered member and engaging it with said screw member of said luer locking member; a mark indicating a position of the cutting surface on a circumference of said injection needle is provided on each exterior surface of said hub luer lock and said protector; and a position of said mark and a position of a scale display, provided on an exterior portion of said cylinder, are in alignment on a circumference of said cylinder.

3. A combined container-syringe according to claim 1 , wherein said finger grip is constructed in a manner as to allow rotation around an axial circumference of said cylinder, such that the position, on the circumference of said cylinder, of a finger rest of said finger grip can be adjusted.

4. A combined container-syringe according to claim 2 , wherein said finger grip is constructed in a manner as to allow rotation around an axial circumference of said cylinder, such that the position, on the circumference of said cylinder, of a finger rest of said finger grip can be adjusted.

5. A combined container-syringe according to claim 1 , wherein said mark is also provided on an exterior surface of said finger grip.

6. A combined container-syringe according to claim 2 , wherein said mark is also provided on an exterior surface of said finger grip.

7. A combined container-syringe according to claim 2 , wherein said syringe body is formed by fitting a front assembly which including said cylindrical tip, said injection needle, and said protector, to the anterior end of said cylinder; and the position of the cutting surface of said injection needle is aligned by relatively rotating said front assembly around the axial circumference of said cylinder.

8. A combined container-syringe comprising a syringe body containing a cylindrical-shaped cylinder; a cylindrical tip provided at an anterior end of the cylinder; a finger grip provided at a posterior end of said cylinder and having a portion which indicates a predetermined position of the finger grip around an axial circumference of said cylinder; an injection needle fitted to said cylindrical tip; and a protector covering said injection needle; wherein, positions of a cutting surface of said injection needle and a scale display provided on an exterior portion of said cylinder are in alignment with said predetermined position of said finger grip, on a circumference of said cylinder.

9. A combined container-syringe according to claim 8 , wherein, said finger grip is constructed in a manner as to allow rotation of a position of a finger rest of said finger grip, on the circumference of said cylinder, around the axial circumference of said cylinder.

10. A combined container-syringe according to claim 9 , wherein an opening is provided in a radial direction of said finger grip.

11. A combined container-syringe according to claim 8 , wherein said syringe body is formed by fitting a front assembly which including said cylindrical tip, said injection needle, and said protector, to the anterior end of said cylinder; and the position of the cutting surface of said injection needle is aligned by relatively rotating said front assembly around the axial circumference of said cylinder.
