20110139830 | TIGHT-SEALING CAP FOR LIQUID DRUG-EXPELLING PART - Provided is a tight-sealing cap for the liquid drug-expelling part of a syringe that not only minimizes the space that creates reduced pressure, which is a cause of leakage, but is also easy to remove because it is easily twisted off, easily deformable and easily admits air for releasing the vacuum when removed, and that can prevent leaking of a liquid drug from a luer nozzle. The cap is made of an elastic material, and the following means are used in the cap, which is configured from a thick upper surface part, an outer tubular part that is formed below the periphery thereof, and an inner tubular part that is formed inside the same. First, the inner tubular part is formed so that the tip of the luer nozzle can be inserted tightly into the same, and the luer nozzle can be tightly sealed at the site of contact thereof. Second, the outer tubular part is formed so that it contacts the luer lock closely therein and can seal the luer lock tightly at the site of contact thereof. Third, the length of the site of contact between the outer tubular part and the luer lock is shorter than the length of the site of contact between the inner tubular part and the luer nozzle. | 06-16-2011 |
20150335830 | SYRINGE - An object is to provide a syringe that is capable of preventing a cap from being mounted to a syringe body at an oblique angle. The cap includes an elastic cylindrical body for receiving an injection needle therein and sealing a holding part, and an external cylindrical body for covering the circumference of the elastic cylindrical body and holding the elastic cylindrical body in such a manner as to prevent movement of the elastic cylindrical body. The external cylindrical body includes an opening part having a dimension configured to be larger than the holding part of the syringe body, and a guide part that guides the injection needle toward a certain direction by coming into contact with a part of the syringe body when the injection needle is received inside the elastic cylindrical body. | 11-26-2015 |

20110116059 | FILTER BOX, EXPOSURE APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEVICE - A filter box which holds a chemical filter includes a box-shaped frame which holds the chemical filter and a guide groove which is provided on a side surface of the frame. The guide groove includes a first recess which is arranged between an upper end and a lower end of the side surface of the frame and which is communicated with a side end of the side surface; and a second recess which is communicated with the first recess and which extends toward the upper end of the frame. With the guide grooves, it is possible to exchange the filter efficiently and with high positioning precision. | 05-19-2011 |
20110122378 | FILTER APPARATUS, FILTER ACCOMMODATING METHOD, EXPOSURE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEVICE - A filter apparatus which holds a chemical filter includes a frame which holds the chemical filter and which has a guide groove provided on a side surface of the frame; and a casing which accommodates the frame. The guide groove has a first groove which is communicated with a back surface of the frame, and a second groove which is communicated with the first groove and which extends from a front surface of the frame toward an upper end thereof. The casing has a shaft member which is engageable with the first groove to support the frame and which is engageable with the second groove to release the frame from being supported. It is possible to install the filter efficiently so that the filter can be positioned with ease, and to unload the filter efficiently. | 05-26-2011 |
20110122379 | FILTER HOLDING APPARATUS, EXPOSURE APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEVICE - A filter holding apparatus holding a first chemical filter and a second chemical filter, includes a first frame which holds the first chemical filter and which has a first guide groove provided on a side surface of the first frame; a second frame which holds the second chemical filter and which has a second guide groove provided on a side surface of the second frame and which is arranged while being overlapped with the first frame; and each of the first and second guide grooves has a first groove which is communicated with a back surface of one of the first and second frames, and a second groove which is communicated with the first groove and which extends toward an upper end of one of the first and second frames; wherein a distance between the second groove and the back surface in the first frame is different from a distance between the second groove and the back surface in the second frame. A plurality of filters can be installed or exchanged efficiently and in such a manner that the filters are positioned easily. | 05-26-2011 |
