Abstract
A closure for a syringe of the feminine or enema type wherein the nozzle of the syringe is intended to be transported separately from the flexible bag. The neck of the flexible bag which has a bead is secured on a support ledge of an inner connecting member which threadably receives the nozzle. An outer connecting member having spaced internal flange members is snap fitted over the inner connecting member to engage a portion of the bag and resiliently hold it against the inner connecting member. In a preferred manner, an accommodating compartment is formed between the two connecting members to accommodate the bead of the bag.

A closure means for a syringe bag having a resilient neck portion with a bead comprising:
- a hollow nozzle member defining a hollow spray stem having an externally threaded inlet and an outlet end;
- a first connecting member defining a hollow body section with internal threads complementary to said external threads of said nozzle member;
- a support ledge member extending from said body section;
- a wall portion defined by said body section and spaced from said support ledge member;
- a second hollow connecting member defining two spaced flange members extending in the direction of the inside of said connecting member;
- said second connecting member constructed and arranged in relation to said first connecting member so that said first connecting member can be snap fitted within the confines of said second connecting member and retained by said flange members;
- whereby when said bead of said bag is placed over said support ledge member of said first connecting member and said first connecting member is placed in said second connecting member, said one of said flange members of said second connecting member will engage said wall portion of said first connecting member and said other flange member will resiliently hold a portion of said bag against said support ledge.
A closure means for a feminine or rectal syringe bag having a resilient neck portion and nozzle with external connecting means comprising:
- a first connecting member defining a hollow body section with internal connecting means complementary to said external connecting means of said nozzle;
- a support ledge member extending from said body section;
- a wall portion defined by said body section and spaced from said support ledge member;
- a second hollow connecting member defining two spaced flange members extending in the direction of the inside of said connecting member;
- said second connecting member constructed and arranged in relation to said first connecting member so that said first connecting member can be snap fitted within the confines of said second connecting member and retained by said flange members;
- whereby when said bead of said bag is placed over said support ledge member of said first connecting member and said first connecting member is placed in said second connecting member, said one of said flange members of said second connecting member will engage said wall portion of said first connecting member and said other flange member will resiliently hold a portion of said bag against said support ledge.
