ABSTRACT:
A dental syringe and disposable capsule for use therewith wherein the disposable capsule includes a body portion formed with a laterally extending collar having a groove therein connected to one end and having a discharge nozzle connected at the other end of the capsule body portion. A displaceable plug seals the material within the cartridge. The syringe includes a plastic barrel having a bore extending therethrough for receiving a reciprocating plunger slidably supported therein. Connected to the barrel adjacent one end is a handle extending normal thereto with a lever pivotally connected relative thereto for engaging the end of the plunger for effecting the displacement of the plunger when the lever is actuated. Connected to the front end of the plastic barrel is a cartridge holder formed as a metal part having a rear portion and a forwardly extending seat portion. The rear portion is embedded into the material of the plastic barrel with the seat portion extending forwardly of the front end of the barrel. The seat portion is defined by an inturned flange spaced forwardly of the front end of the barrel which is notched to define a U-shaped opening. The upper end of the opening is provided with a width sized to the diameter of the groove formed in the collar of the capsule whereby the cartridge is removably retained within the cartridge seat in a simple and expedient manner by placing the collar groove in the notch defined by the inturned flange of the cartridge seat.
