Abstract
The present invention is a needle cover assembly for a syringe. The present invention relates to a two-part needle cover assembly. One part of the cover extends over the head of the needle so that the split is not symmetrically down the middle of the cover but is instead along an arc greater than 180.degree.. There are two halves to the needle cover assembly but they are not split evenly, they are instead around 270.degree. or so for one part and 90.degree. for the other part. The two halves of needle cover assembly are hingeably attached to a hollow hub. A rotatable collar surrounds the hollow hub, and when the rotatable collar is rotated by 90.degree., the two halves are apart so that the portions of the needle cover are away from each other, thereby exposing the needle so that it can be used for injecting a person with medicine. After the injection has been given, the two halves of the needle cover assembly can be closed by rotating the rotatable collar 90.degree..
