Abstract
Hypodermic needle safety apparatus includes an embodiment having a shield which includes a longitudinal slot and a cover which rotates on the shield and an embodiment in which the shield must be moved axially, along the longitudinal axis of the syringe and needle, to allow the needle to be moved through a slot for use. The shield is then pivoted by thumb or finger movement so that the needle moves through the exposed slot to allow use of the syringe and the needle. The shield or cover moves through an arc of about 180 degrees so that the shield is away from the needle during the use of the needle and syringe. The shield is pivoted back downwardly to cover the needle and then the shield is again moved longitudinally or axially so that the bottom of the needle is away from the slot. The longitudinal or axial movement of the cover or shield requires a positive movement, and accordingly the shield may not be accidently or inadvertently pivoted away from the needle to expose the needle.
