A box for shipping unused syringes manufacturer after syringe manufacture to the point of syringe usage (whereat all unused syringes are removed from said box), said box then being usable for the safe storage of used syringes. The box has an open-topped container having a bottom and a plurality of sides, a cover for closing off said container during said shipment and being selectably movable with respect to said container so as to permit the bulk removal of all unused syringes, therein, means for reclosing said container including said cover and means locking said cover means to said container. The box also has means for the serial feeding of used syringes into said closed and locked container including used syringe receiving means integral with said box and having a first operative position for receiving a used syringe external of said box and being movable to a second operative position whereat said used syringe is discharged for safe storage thereof into said box following which said syringe receiving means may be returned to said first operating position for the serial receiving of additional used syringes for safe storage thereof in said box, said syringe receiving means being further characterized by including means for preventing used syringes internal of said locked box from being removed from said box via said syringe receiving means.
Claims
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property right is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A box for transporting unused syringes aftersyringe manufacturerto the point of syringe usage (whereat all unused syringes are removed from said box), said box then being usable for the safe storage of used syringes, said box comprising:
a) an open-topped container having a bottom and a plurality of sides integral therewith with said bottom and sides defining a preselected volume for storing of a preselected quantity of unused syringes,
b) a cover means for closing off said container during said storage and being selectably movable with respect to said container so as to permit the bulk removal of all of said preselected quantity of unused syringes,
c) means for reclosing said container including said cover means and additional nonreversible locking means locking said cover means to said container, and
d) means for the serial feeding of used syringes into said closed and locked container including used syringe receiving means integral with said box and having a first operative position for receiving a used syringe external of said box and being movable to a second operative position whereat said used syringe is discharged for safe storage thereof into said box following which said syringe receiving means may be returned to said first operating position for the serial receiving of additional used syringes for safe storage thereof in said box, said syringe receiving means being further characterized by including means for preventing used syringes internal of said box from being removed from said box via said syringe manufacturer receiving means.
2. Apparatus of claim 1 further characterized by said syringe receiving means including a structure integral with said cover means.
3. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein said cover means is pivotally connected at one end thereof to one of said sides and said syringe receiving means includes a structure integral with said cover means and located adjacent to said one end.
4. Apparatus of claim 3 wherein said structure is further characterized by having a syringe receiving surface having a first position for receiving a used syringe and being manually displaceable to a second position within said box whereat a used syringe resting thereon is discharged into said box.
5. Apparatus of claim 4 wherein said structure further includes means for resiliently connecting said surface to said cover means so as to return said surface to said first position upon the withdrawal of manual force from said surface.
6. Apparatus of claim 5 wherein said surface is pivotally connected to said cover means and said surface is rotatable from said first position downwardly into said box to said second position.
7. Apparatus of claim 5 wherein said surface is manually displaced from said first position longitudinally to said second position.
8. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein said syringe manufacturer receiving means comprises a tubular means rotatably supported by said sides for rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof and positioned within said box, said tubular means further having an opening adjacent to one of said sides for receiving a used syringe and syringe release means, and means for rotating said tubular means about said longitudinal axis whereby a used syringe is released from said tubular means by said release means and thereby discharged into said box.
9. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein said syringe receiving means includes a structure integral with one of said plurality of said sides.
10. Apparatus of either claim 2 or claim 9 wherein said structure is further characterized by having a plurality of tabs arranged in a generally closed configuration with each tab connected to and depending from the box and extending radially toward the center of said configuration, means for biasing said tabs to a normally closed position so that said tabs collectively close off said box and for permitting the central tips thereof to be displaced inwardly of said box on a temporary basis under the force of a used syringe being inserted for safe storage thereof into said box following which said biasing means functions to close off said box as aforesaid.
11. Apparatus of claim 1 further characterized by including: an auxiliary cover means overlying said first mentioned cover means.
12. Apparatus of claim 1 wherein said cover means is pivotally connected at one end thereof to one of said sides and said syringe receiving means includes a structure integral with said box.
13. Apparatus of claim 12 wherein said structure is further characterized by having a syringe receiving surface having a first position for receiving a used syringe and being manually displaceable to a second position within said box whereat a used syringe resting thereon is discharged for safe storage into said box.
14. Apparatus of claim 13 wherein said structure further includes means for resiliently connected said surface to said box so as to return said surface to said first position upon the withdrawal of manual force from said surface.
15. Apparatus of claim 14 wherein said surface is pivotally connected to said box and said surface is rotatable from said first position inwardly into said box to said second position.
16. Apparatus of claim 14 wherein said surface is manually displaced from said first position longitudinally to said second position,
