  • Patent number: 4676781
    Abstract: An injector to deliver a predetermined quantity of liquid into an animal, said injector having a hollow body with a handle, an interacting piston and cylinder mounted within the body and cooperating to define a variable volume working space, an injector needle communicating with said space, a passage also communicating with said space to enable the delivery of liquid thereto, a shroud to selectively cover said needle, and wherein movement of said shroud beyond a predetermined position exposing said needle enables relative movement between the piston and cylinder to eject liquid through said needle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4530695
    Abstract: An injector to inject liquid into an animal, said injector being of generally cylindrical configuration and having a pre-loadable piston and cylinder which when operated eject liquid through a needle of the injector, said injector having a trigger movably mounted at one end, which trigger selectively permits relative movement of the piston and cylinder to eject liquid from within the injector.

  • Patent number: 4245757
    Abstract: A drench gun having at least one interacting bore and piston to define a variable volume working space, a liquid exit from the working space, a liquid inlet to said working space, and a dose adjustment mechanism to vary the volume swept by the piston to adjust the dosage delivered by the gun. The dose adjustment mechanism comprises a body plug formed in two halves having a passage extending longitudinally therethrough, a movable sleeve located in the passage to abut the piston to adjustably limit movement thereto, and an adjustor projecting into the sleeve and adapted to rotate around the axis thereof. The adjustor and body plug are adapted to engage the sleeve so that upon rotation of said adjustor said sleeve is moved along longitudinally relative to the piston.
