Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood sampling system for taking blood samples for diagnostic purposes. SOLUTION: This blood sampling system includes a lancet ejection mechanism 41, wherein while a release element 61 is located in an active position, when an operating button of the lancet ejection mechanism 41 is operated, a used lancet 3 is removed from a housing 8, and when the lancet ejection mechanism 41 is in active state and the release element 61 is placed in the standby position, the lancet ejection mechanism 41 is in a non-active state so that even if the operating button is operated, ejection of the lancet is not caused. The leading end having a puncture opening part 11 in the puncture direction of the housing 8 is formed by a cap 7 which is removable to remove the used lancet, whereby when the cap 7 is put on, the cap 7 interacts with the release element 61 so that the release element 61 is put in the standby position, and when the cap 7 is removed, the release element 61 is switched to the active position.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small, inexpensive, and thinnest blood collecting system which gives the least pain, and is easily operated and assembled. SOLUTION: The system includes: a lancet 3; a housing 6; a lancet guide 10; and a lancet driving body 12. The end of a driving spring 22 at the opposite side of a driving rotor 24 is connected to a rotatable and mobile tension element 33. While suppressing the rotation of the driving rotor 24 in order to tense the driving spring 22, the tension element 33 is rotated in a rotary direction R being the same as that of the driving rotor 24 in a driving stage. The tension element 33 is locked not to be reversely rotated during the driving stage. Consequently, the driving rotor 24 is rotated after unlocking, and the rotational motion is converted into the puncture motion of the lancet by an output side link mechanism. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood sampling system which has a minimal pain sensation, is simple to operate, has small and as slim an organization as possible, and is simple to assemble and cheap. SOLUTION: The blood sampling system provides a lancet 3, a housing 6, a lancet guide 10, and a lancet power driver 12. In the lancet power driver, an end portion of a drive spring 22 on the side opposite to the drive rotor 24 is connected to a tension element 33 which can rotate and move. This tension element 33 can rotate to the same rotating direction R as the rotation of the drive rotor 24 in a propulsion stage deterring the rotation of the drive rotor 24 to strain the drive spring 22. And, the tension element 33 is locked so that it does not rotate reversely during the propulsion stage. As the result, the drive rotor 24 rotates after unlocking. This rotary movement is converted to the puncture movement of a lancet by an output power side link mechanism. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
