MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647092187 A) filed by Tip-Top. Com Ltd on July 29, 2026, for Improved Restraint In A Safety Needle Device.
Inventor includes Liversidge, Barry Peter.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides a safety needle assembly 10 comprising a carrier 18 and a needle shield 19 which is pivotally coupled to the carrier 18 and is configured to move outwardly from an initial shielding position to a non-shielding position. The carrier 18 is configured to be secured to a needle hub. The safety needle assembly 10 also includes a needle cover 23 to protect the needle 11. A restraint means provides a restraining force to resist pivotal movement of the needle shield 19 from the initial shielding position, and a control means releasably maintains the needle cover 23 within the needle shield 19. The restraining force is provided by a releasable interlock between the needle shield 19 and the carrier 18 and wherein the restraining force must be overcome in order to move the needle shield 19 outwardly from the initial shielding position to the non-shielding position. The control means comprises contact surfaces arranged on the needle shield 19, the needle cover 23 and the carrier 18, to control axial offset and/or angular misalignment of the respective longitudinal axes of the needle cover 23 and carrier18. The releasable interlock and the control means serve to maintain the carrier 18, the needle shield 19, the needle cover 23 as a unitary self-supporting safety needle assembly prior to the securement of the safety needle assembly to the needle hub.
