Claims5
A disposable syringe with needle cover of the type comprising, in combination, a straight axis cylindrical main hollow body, shiftably and tightly housing a plunger passing through the lower open end thereof, while from the center of the opposed end a conical and coaxial hollow nozzle projects, the inner conduit of which communicates to the interior of the needle coupling means, wherein, between said coaxial hollow nozzle of the main hollow body and the needle coupling means there is a coaxial insert having a standard plugging cone at its central region;
- said insert being housed in the interior of a hollow, shiftable and coaxial hollow needle cover, having a length longer than the needle plus its coupling means, and of a length greater than that of the main body;
- said needle cover having a wholly opened lower end as well as means for being removably retained with respect of the main body and means for retaining the coaxial insert, wherein said coaxial hollow nozzle of the main cylindrical body is surrounded by an annular wall, the inner surface of which is conical, a peripheral cavity being defined with respect to said nozzle, the size of which is slightly smaller than the peripheral annular portion defined around the plugging cone of the coaxial insert.
