摘要：
According to the invention, there is provided a sharps container for storage of used pen needles comprising: a housing (10) with a container storage space (11) sized to facilitate the storage of a plurality of used pen needles (51), the container having an opening (13) to admit the axial insertion of a used pen needle therethrough, and used pen needle receiving and ejecting means (15, 16, 30, 212, 40, 240) having a rotatable means (15,16) for rotation relative to said housing about an axis(RA), said used pen needle receiving and ejecting means have (A) cam follower means (40B, 240C) at one end thereof initially positioned at a pre-selected axial distance along the ejector axis beyond a second end of said elongated tubular member (31), and (B) a second end initially positioned adjacent a recessed means (33) for receiving the used pen needle characterized in that said ejector assembly (30) is selectively oriented about an axis (RA) by rotation of said rotatable means between (i) an initial position with said recessed means being adjacent to and in alignment with said opening (13) to facilitate the axial insertion of a used pen needle into said recessed means, and (ii) a second position where said cam follower means engages said cam means, following which additional rotation of said ejector assembly about said axis (RA) causes the ejection of a used pen needle from said recessed means into said housing for safe storage therein.
