A syringe includes a hollow barrel, a hollow plunger movable within the barrel and a needle assembly secured within and at a distal end of the barrel. The needle assembly includes a needle holder, a resilient member that biases the needle holder toward the proximal end opening of the barrel, and a retaining member releasably secured to the needle holder via a reduced material section. The retaining member maintains the needle holder at the distal end of the barrel against the bias of the resilient member. When the plunger is fully depressed within the barrel, the plunger engages the needle holder such that the retaining member is forced to break away and separate from the needle holder along the reduced material section to facilitate retraction of the needle holder and a needle secured to the needle holder into the retraction cavity disposed within the plunger.

Safety medical syringe with retractable needle

A syringe includes a hollow barrel and a hollow plunger extending into the barrel and being axially movable within the barrel, where the plunger includes an end wall that is releasably secured to the plunger at an opening disposed at a distal end of the plunger and is movable to disengage with the plunger distal end opening during use of the syringe to facilitate access to a retraction cavity disposed within the plunger. A needle assembly is secured within and at a distal end of the barrel. The needle assembly includes a needle holder with a connector to secure a needle to the needle holder. The needle holder is biased toward the proximal end of the barrel and is configured to be forced into the retraction cavity of the plunger upon complete depression of the plunger distally within the barrel, and the plunger includes at least one protrusion that extends from an internal wall surface of the plunger within the retraction cavity and is configured to engage with and limit or prevent movement of portions of the needle assembly that have been forced into the retraction cavity.

Retractable needle syringe with needle trap

A light assembly for mounting on the exterior of a vehicle such as a taillight, a stop light, or a turn signal is provided with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED's). These have distinct advantages over incandescent bulbs for longer life and reduced power. They have the disadvantage that they are so energy efficient that they do not heat up the external lens enough to melt snow and ice thereon. The invention overcomes this problem by providing an electrical heater in the assembly that is actuated by a thermal switch that is closed only when the temperature is below a preset value.
