Multi-Function Push-Pin

View page
US Patent:
20020098060, Jul 25, 2002
Filed:
Jan 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/767201
Inventors:
Scott Kochlefl - Urbana IL, US
Michael Vostal - Champaign IL, US
Laura Naughton - Champaign IL, US
Matthew Wertz - Champaign IL, US
Teresa Barin - Champaign IL, US
Assignee:
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
International Classification:
F16B037/14
F16B015/00
US Classification:
411/429000
Abstract:
A push-pin including a slot dividing a body into multiple portions and having at least two pins extending from separate ones of the multiple portions. The preferred push-pin includes a pushing surface on one end of the body. A pulling surface is generally defined around the body. The slot divides the body into at least two portions. Material of the body is selected to allow some movement of the divided portions of the body without permanent deformation thereof. This allows the portions return to their relaxed position when an applied force is removed. An opening of the slot has rounded surfaces defined on the body portions. The remaining area defined by the slot may be wider than the opening, allowing an object to be held in the slot after passing the opening. The dimensions of the slot are selected to accommodate different sized objects as a matter of design variation within the scope of the invention. Preferably, the body is made of anodized Aluminum (Al).

A61M 39/20
Abstract:
The disclosed tamper-evident closure () encloses a medical access device, such as a vascular access device (), such that it will be visibly apparent if the medical access device contained in the tamper-evident closure becomes exposed. The tamper-evident closure cannot be reapplied over the medical access device in a way to look the same as it did prior to exposing the medical access device. The tamper-evident closures comprise a holding cavity (), a securing mechanism (), and an apparent release. The disclosed tamper-evident closures are well suited for securing a medical access device that has an access point for delivering fluid to a patient or removing fluid from a patient.
