Syringe shield

A syringe shield, comprising:

• an inner generally cylindrical shell formed of plastic material having an elongated slot extending longitudinally therein;
• a generally cylindrical body of radiation-shielding material, said body being proportioned such that its inner surface conforms generally to the outer surface of said inner shell, said body having an elongated slot aligned with the slot in said inner shell;
• an outer shell formed of plastic material, said outer shell having an elongated slot aligned with the slots in said inner shell and said body, said inner shell, said body, and said outer shell each tapering radially toward their axis at the front end thereof;
• a ring-shaped collar joining the tapered portions of the inner and outer shells at said front ends;
• and
• an elongated optically transparent radiation shielding member proportioned to fit in the elongated slot in said body.

A syringe shield, comprising:

• an inner generally cylindrical shell formed of plastic material having an elongated slot extending longitudinally therein, said inner shell having a plurality of flexible plastic protrusions into its bore;
• a generally cylindrical body of radiation-shielding material, said body being proportioned such that its inner surface conforms generally to the outer surface of said inner shell, said body having an elongated slot aligned with the slot in said inner shell;
• an outer shell formed of plastic material, said outer shell having an elongated slot aligned with the slots in said inner shell and said body;
• and
• an elongated optically transparent radiation shielding member proportioned to fit in the elongated slot in said body.

A syringe shield, comprising:

• an inner generally cylindrical shell formed of plastic material having an elongated generally rectangular slot extending longitudinally therein;
• a generally cylindrical body of radiation-shielding material, said body being proportioned such that its inner surface conforms generally to the outer surface of said inner shell, said body having an elongated generally rectangular slot aligned with the slot in said inner shell;
• an outer shell formed of plastic material, said outer shell having an elongated generally rectangular slot aligned with the slots in said inner shell and said body;
• and
• an elongated optically transparent radiation shielding member proportioned to fit in the elongated slot in said body;
• said outer shell being lipped at its slot to retain said member.
