Abstract
A holder sleeve ( ) incorporates an urging means ( ) for urging an inner needle ( ) to the proximal end side and an actuator ( ) which engages the inner needle ( ) at the near distal end portion of the holder sleeve ( ) so that the inner needle ( ) can be released and the tip of the inner needle is projected from the holder sleeve ( ). This actuator ( ) has an inner needle hub ( ) fixed at the front end thereof and is formed with an actuating member ( ) projected outside the holder sleeve ( ). The holder sleeve ( ) has a slit ( ) which extends to the proximal end side so as to allow the actuating member ( ) of the actuator ( ) to slide and assures the path of movement of the actuator ( ) released from the near distal end portion of the holder sleeve ( ). The inner needle ( ) is adapted to be released from the holder sleeve ( ) when the actuating member ( ) is moved away from the holder sleeve ( ) within the same plane that includes the axis of the holder sleeve ( ).
