Safety port needle assembly

A safety port needle assembly, comprised of the following:

• a. an elongated main body, said main body having distal and proximal ends and a longitudinally aligned channel formed therein and a bore formed near said distal end;
• b. a first pair of wings perpendicularly aligned and attached to said main body;
• c. a needle arm longitudinally aligned with said main body, said needle arm being pivotally attached at one end to said proximal end of said main-body, said needle arm also including a second pair of wings enabling said needle arm to be manually lifted and pivoted rearward over said main body;
• d. a port needle having a horizontal leg and a vertical leg, said horizontal leg being attached to said needle arm and said vertical leg extending through said bore of said main body when said needle arm is longitudinally aligned over said main body;
• e. a stop surface formed on said needle arm to prevent excessive rearward rotation of said needle arm;
• and;
• f. a locking pivoting arm disposed between said needle arm and said main body which is automatically engaged to prevent downward rotation of said needle arm when said needle arm is pivoted rearward a desired distance.

A safety port needle assembly, comprising:

• a. a main body having opposite distal and proximal ends with a bore formed near said distal end;
• b. a needle arm longitudinally aligned over said main body and pivotally attached at one end to said proximal end of said main body;
• c. a port needle having a horizontal leg and a vertical leg, said horizontal leg being longitudinally aligned and attached to said needle arm and said vertical leg extending downward from said needle arm and through said bore on said main body when said needle arm is longitudinally aligned over said main body, and;
• d. a space formed on said main body for receiving the tip of said port needle when said needle arm is pivoted rearward to remove said tip of said port needle from said bore on said main body.
