Inflation device with toggle-locking trigger
Devices used to pressurize, depressurize, or otherwise displace fluid are disclosed. The devices may be configured to displace fluid in order to inflate or deflate a medical device, such as a balloon. The devices include a trigger configured to convert the devices from a pressurization state to a priming state. The devices further include a locking or toggle member configured to toggle and/or maintain the devices in a priming state.
1. An inflation device assembly, comprising: a syringe body;
a plunger configured for advancement and retraction within the syringe body;
a coupling member comprising coupling member threads configured to constrain movement of the plunger within the syringe body,
wherein the plunger comprises plunger threads configured to be selectively engaged and disengaged with the coupling member threads, wherein the plunger threads are configured to be retractable from the coupling member threads;
a handle coupled to a proximal portion of the plunger;
a trigger operatively coupled to the handle and configured to retract the plunger threads from the coupling member threads to a plunger thread retracted state; and
a locking member configured to selectively lock the trigger in the thread retracted state wherein,
the locking member comprises:
a pin; and
a latch disposed at an end of the pin,
wherein the pin and the latch are slidably disposed within the trigger, wherein the latch is configured to engage a portion of the plunger when the trigger is in the thread retracted state.
2. The inflation device assembly of claim 1 , wherein the latch restrains the trigger from displacement from the thread retracted state.
3. The inflation device assembly of claim 2 , further comprising a resilient member configured to apply a force to the latch to disengage the latch from the plunger.
4. The inflation device assembly of claim 1 , wherein the latch is disposed exterior to the plunger.
5. The inflation device assembly of claim 1 , wherein the latch is disposed within the plunger.
6. An inflation device assembly, comprising: a syringe body;
a plunger configured for advancement and retraction within the syringe body;
a coupling member comprising coupling member threads configured to constrain movement of the plunger within the syringe body,
wherein the plunger comprises plunger threads configured to be selectively engaged and disengaged with the coupling member threads, wherein the plunger threads are configured to be retractable from the coupling member threads;
a handle coupled to a proximal portion of the plunger;
a trigger operatively coupled to the handle and configured to retract the plunger threads from the coupling member threads to a plunger thread retracted state; and
a locking member configured to selectively lock the trigger in the thread retracted state
wherein the locking member comprises:
a pin;
a pin receiver disposed in the trigger; and
a resilient member
wherein the pin is displaced such that an end portion is received within the pin receiver to maintain the trigger in the thread retracted state and
wherein the resilient member applies a force to the pin to displace an end of the pin from the pin receiver to release the trigger from the thread retracted state.
7. The inflation device assembly of claim 6 , wherein the pin is in axial alignment with the pin receiver when the trigger is in the thread retracted state.
8. The inflation device assembly of claim 6 , wherein the resilient member applies a force to the pin to displace an end of the pin from the pin receiver to release the trigger from the thread retracted state.
9. An inflation device assembly, comprising: a syringe body;
a plunger configured for advancement and retraction within the syringe body;
a coupling member comprising coupling member threads configured to constrain movement of the plunger within the syringe body,
wherein the plunger comprises plunger threads configured to be selectively engaged and disengaged with the coupling member threads, wherein the plunger threads are configured to be retractable from the coupling member threads;
a handle coupled to a proximal portion of the plunger;
a trigger operatively coupled to the handle and configured to retract the plunger threads from the coupling member threads to a plunger thread retracted state; and
a locking member configured to selectively lock the trigger in the thread retracted state wherein the locking member comprises a pin and axial displacement of the pin locks the trigger.
10. The inflation device assembly of claim 9 , wherein the pin is configured to engage a portion of the plunger when the trigger is in the thread retracted state.
11. The inflation device assembly of claim 10 , wherein the pin is disposed exterior to the plunger.
12. The inflation device assembly claim 10 , wherein the pin is disposed within the plunger.
13. The inflation device assembly of claim 9 , wherein the pin restrains the trigger from displacement from the thread retracted state.
14. The inflation device assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a resilient member configured to apply a force to the pin to disengage from the plunger.
