PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a syringe including a cylinder having a tapered part at the distal end, a plunger inserted in the cylinder, and a gasket provided on the distal end of the plunger, brought into liquid-tight contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and freely axially slidable, in which a wrapping film is prevented from being torn due to the plunger powerfully moving to the rear end side of the cylinder during sterilization treatment after wrapping the syringe with the wrapping film.SOLUTION: On the distal end of the tapered part 31, an air path 52 is provided for communicating the inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface of the tapered part 31. For instance, a recessed and projected part 5 is provided on the distal end edge of the tapered part 31, and the air path is configured by the recessed parts 52 of the recessed and projected part 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】先端にテーパ部を有するシリンダと、シリンダに内挿されるプランジャと、プランジャの先端に設けられ、シリンダの内周面に液密に接触すると共に軸方向に摺動自在なガスケットとを備えるシリンジにおいて、シリンジを包装フィルムに包装した後の滅菌処理中に、プランジャがシリンダの後端側へ勢いよく移動して包装フィルムが破れることを防止できるようにする。【解決手段】テーパ部31の先端部に、テーパ部31の内周面と外周面とを連通させる空気通路52を設ける。例えば、テーパ部31の先端縁に凹凸部5を設け、この凹凸部5の凹部52によって空気通路を構成することができる。【選択図】図2
