Abstract

Since this syringe has projections provided on the rear surface of a flange of a syringe barrel, when it is inserted in an insertion groove of a cylinder holder, the tips of projections are compressed and the flange is fixed. Consequently, even when a solution having high viscosity is injected at higher pressure, breakage does not occur easily. Further, pressure-receiving area may also be increased by providing a guide defining mounting direction of a syringe, alternatively, a positioning mechanism may be provided so as to obtain mounting at a correct position, or the surface of a flange may be roughened.

Claims (9)

1. An injection apparatus, comprising:

a cylinder holder that comprises a flange insertion groove having a first surface and a second surface; and

a syringe barrel, comprising a flange adapted to be held by said flange insertion groove so as to fix the syringe barrel, said flange having a front surface and a rear surface,

wherein said first surface of the flange insertion groove contacts the front surface of the flange and the second surface of the flange insertion groove contacts the rear surface of the flange, wherein at least one of the front surface, the rear surface of the flange, the first surface of the flange insertion groove, and the second surface of the flange insertion groove has a random roughness pattern, and wherein the cross section of the roughened surface has a roughness equivalent to that of about No. 100 to 300 as expressed in terms of count of sand paper.

2. The injection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the front surface of the flange is roughened.

3. An injection apparatus according to claim 1 or claim 2 , further comprising:

a syringe comprising said syringe barrel; and

a chemical solution filled in the syringe.

4. The injection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the flange insertion groove has the random roughness pattern.
