Abstract
An adapter manifold having an adapter body and a syringe applicator, wherein the adapter body has substantially parallel inlet ports and substantially parallel exit ports, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports, to accommodate the syringe applicator which has multiple substantially parallel syringes, and substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof, wherein the syringe connectors are biased toward a proximal end of the adapter body.
Claims32
An adapter manifold for a multi-barrel syringe applicator, comprising:
- an adapter body having substantially parallel inlet ports, substantially parallel exit ports and substantially parallel Luer-type connections, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports, and substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof, wherein the syringe connectors are biased toward a proximal end of the adapter body by compression springs surrounding the inlet ports and the syringe connectors, captive between annular spring seats surrounding the inlet ports and the syringe connectors.
An adapter manifold for a dual barrel syringe applicator, comprising:
- an adapter body having two side-by-side fluid passages therein, said fluid passages having side-by-side inlet ports spaced a first axial distance apart, side-by-side exit ports spaced a second axial distance apart and substantially parallel Luer-type connections,
- wherein the first axial distance is different from the second axial distance, and wherein the inlet ports are surrounded by annular spring seats;
- two side-by-side syringe connectors having Luer-type receivers on proximal portions thereof and cylindrical tubes on distal portions thereof, said cylindrical tubes slidably fitting into said side-by-side inlet ports, with annular spring seats surrounding the cylindrical tubes;
- a Luer-type retainer positioned within a proximal portion of the adapter body having side-by-side apertures surrounding the Luer-type receivers;
- and
- compression springs between the spring seats of the adapter body and the spring seats of the syringe connectors.
A multi-barrel syringe delivery system for co-reactive materials, comprising:
- a multi-barrel syringe applicator having substantially parallel syringe bodies with delivery nozzles at distal ends of said syringe bodies;
- a manifold comprising an adapter body having substantially parallel inlet ports and substantially parallel exit ports, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports, the inlet ports of said manifold in fluid communication with said delivery nozzles, and substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports and having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof, wherein the syringe connectors are biased into a sealing communication with said delivery nozzles of said syringe bodies with compression springs captive between the adapter body and the Luer-type receivers;
- and
- a spray or drip mixing tip connected to the exit ports at a distal end of the manifold.
An adapter manifold for a multi-barrel syringe applicator, comprising:
- an adapter body having substantially parallel inlet ports and substantially parallel exit ports, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports and substantially parallel Luer-type connections, and substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof and cylindrical tubes on distal ends thereof, slidably positioned within said inlet ports of the adapter body and having O-rings on distal portions of the cylindrical tubes sealing the syringe connectors within the inlet ports, wherein the syringe connectors are biased toward a proximal end of the adapter body.
A multi-barrel syringe delivery system for co-reactive materials, comprising:
- a multi-barrel syringe applicator having substantially parallel syringe bodies with delivery nozzles at distal ends of said syringe bodies;
- a manifold comprising an adapter body having substantially parallel inlet ports and substantially parallel exit ports, the inlet ports spaced an axial distance apart which is different from an axial distance between the exit ports, the inlet ports of said manifold in fluid communication with said delivery nozzles;
- said adapter body further comprising substantially parallel syringe connectors in fluid communication with the inlet ports and having Luer-type receivers on proximal ends thereof, wherein the syringe connectors are biased into a sealing communication with said delivery nozzles of said syringe bodies;
- said syringe connectors having cylindrical tubes on distal ends thereof, slidably positioned within said inlet ports of the adapter body and having O-rings on distal portions of the cylindrical tubes sealing the syringe connectors within the inlet ports;
- and
- a spray or drip mixing tip connected to the exit ports at a distal end of the manifold.
