Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying and deploying a protective cover about a percutaneous puncture site formed by a hypodermic needle. In the preferred embodiment, a marking agent or puncture site covering, the latter of which preferably takes the form of a bandage, is releasably secured upon either the needle hub of the hypodermic needle or on a sliding member or sleeve axially moveable along the length of said needle that forms a marking or detaches therefrom once compressed about the puncture site.

A needle tip protective device for use with percutaneous entry needles. In one embodiment, the needle tip protective device includes a needle guard slidably mounted on a hypodermic needle, the latter having a needle tip located at the distal end thereof, and a change of profile formed medially there along. The needle guard is movable along the hypodermic needle and engageable with the change in profile formed thereon. The engagement with the change in profile is configured to correspond with the ability of the needle trap to entrap the needle tip once the needle trap has advanced the sufficient distance distally along the hypodermic needle. In further refinements, the needle trap may be biased toward the distal needle tip of the needle.

A needle tip protective device. In one embodiment the needle tip protective device includes a needle guard that is slidably mounted on a hypodermic needle having a needle tip located at the distal end of the needle. The needle guard contains a movable needle trap that is biased against or toward the hypodermic needle. The needle trap advances over the tip of the needle, entrapping the needle tip as the needle guard is urged forward near the sharpened distal end of the hypodermic needle. A tether, or other limiting means, limits the forward movement of the needle guard along the needle. In one embodiment, the needle guard is manually urged forward along the shaft of the needle by the user. In yet another embodiment, a spring, or other biasing means, is used to move the needle guard along the shaft of the needle.

A method and apparatus for enhancing an applause is described. The present invention acts as a container for food or beverages and once the food or beverage is consumed may be converted into an apparatus to enhance an applause or boo. One embodiment of the present invention is an elongated resilient member that is attached to a container. The elongated resilient member is in close proximity to the container such that when the elongated resilient member is pulled away from the container and then released the elongated resilient member snaps back and hits the container making an audible sound. Another embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for holding a beverage container. The apparatus for holding the beverage container has a top, a bottom, and at least two sidewall sections. The sidewall sections are fixedly attached while the apparatus holds the beverage container but may be detached in at least one place when the beverage container is not being held such that the apparatus may be used as an applause enhancing apparatus. By detaching the sidewall sections in at least one place the sidewall sections may be open and closed. The open and closing motion may be done such that when the sidewall sections are closed upon one another they hit to make an audible sound.

This invention is directed to covers for holding and protecting needles of medical devices prior to use. It includes covers for holding and protecting needles of medical devices in which the needles are, in turn, contained within a retractable protective sleeve. In such case, the needle and its protective sleeve are held within the cover by a wedging action of a base portion with the cover. The cover contains projections which grip the base so that the needle and its protective sleeve can be turned with the cover to twist them on and off of the medical device safely. Longitudinal vanes in the cover can be included to hold a spring and locking collar over the protective sleeve in a retracted state prior to use. A cap with a flat end and square shoulders is aligned with a flat side of the cover and the entirety closed with a frangible security strip to indicate any possible tampering prior to use. A soft rubber seal inside the cover's closed end seals the needles of pre-filled devices against leakage. A pierceable capsule carried by the outside of the closed end of the cover contains a sealing material that can be used to seal the needle against further use.

A method and apparatus for enhancing an applause is described. The present invention acts as a container for food or beverages and once the food or beverage is consumed may be converted into an apparatus to enhance an applause or boo. One embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for holding a beverage container. The apparatus for holding the beverage container has a top, a bottom, and at least two sidewall sections which may be selectively detached and assembled with matching components. The device may be selectively adjustable to accommodate containers of various sizes and shapes. By detaching the sidewall sections in at least one place the sidewall sections may be open and closed. The open and closing motion may be done such that when the sidewall sections are closed upon one another they hit to make an audible sound.

This invention is a carpule-using syringe assembly having a needle protected to minimize the chance of accidental needle-stick. There is a carpule having a pierceable end and a syringe body for receiving and holding the carpule with the pierceable end adjacent an opening in an end portion of the syringe body. A cap is disposed over the pierceable end. The cap includes a support portion disposed in the opening. There are carpule-piercing portions for piercing the pierceable end of the carpule through the cap and a needle having a patient-piercing end. A retractable protective sleeve formed of a plurality of longitudinal slats is disposed over the patient-piercing end of the needle. Finally, there is provision for attaching the needle and the retractable protective sleeve in combination to the support portion with the needle in communication with an interior portion of the carpule through the carpule-piercing portions.
