Abstract: A transmission (1) comprising a gear assembly for transmitting a rotary motion from a driving shaft (2) to a driven shaft (3), with variable gear ratio, the two shafts (2 and 3) not being coaxial. This transmission consists in: a gear-wheel (4) axially split into two half-gear-wheels (5 and 6) one (5) axially mobile relative to the other (6) and also relative to one of the shafts (3) supporting them, the two half-gear-wheels (5 and 6) being fixed in rotation relative to this shaft (3); a plate (7), integral with the other shaft (2), comprising, on at least one of its surfaces, several gear teeth, concentric (8 to 11) with this shaft (2), cooperating with the gear-wheel (4); and elements for axially displacing the two half-gear-wheels (5 and 6) to alter the geared concentric tooth (8 to 11), thereby shifting the gear ratio. The invention is preferably applicable to land vehicles.

Abstract: An electromechanical injection device for medical and veterinary use comprises a frame (1) having the shape of a pistol provided with a stock (2) and bearing a movable carriage (3) that supports a removable syringe (4) having a needle (5) and a piston (6). A first motor (7) actuates a pusher (8) which acts against the piston (6) of the syringe (4). A cradle (9) is carried by the frame (1) and supports the syringe (4) on the movable carriage (3). A second motor (12) actuates the movable carriage (3). The forward portion of the frame has a stabilizing sight (10) for application to the skin which guides and predetermines the degree of penetration of the needle (5). An adjustment wheel (11) permits adjusting the position of the sight (10) to adjust the depth of penetration of the needle (5). A trigger (18) actuates the motors (7, 12). The second motor (12 ) is fixed to the frame (1) and has a rotatable axle (30) and a first cam (29) on that axle.

Abstract: An injection device comprising a support stock that supports a syringe having a plunger and a needle. The plunger is movable in an axial direction to force liquid from the syringe through the needle. A safety valve prevents flow of liquid from the syringe to the needle. A stabilizing sight is provided, for application against skin during an injection. The stabilizing sight is mounted on the device for movement relative to the device such that when the device is pressed against the skin the needle moves from a retracted position relative to the stabilizing sight to an advanced position relative to the stabilizing sight to penetrate the skin. The stabilizing sight is interconnected with the safety valve in such a way that when the needle is in that advanced position the safety valve is moved to an open position and when the needle is in that retracted position the safety valve is in a closed position.

Abstract: An injection device useful either for manual injection or mechanical injection, comprises a cross frame having the shape of a revolver. A removable injection syringe having a syringe piston and at least one needle, is mounted on the cross frame, and a syringe cradle secures the syringe to the cross frame. A device is provided for positioning the penetration and to predetermine the degree of penetration of the needle. There is a trigger on the cross frame, and a pawl is actuated by the trigger. The pawl rotates a barrel step by step upon repeated actuation of the trigger. A screw-threaded axle is rotated by the barrel, and a screw-threaded slider is in screw-threaded engagement with the screw-threaded axle and moves forward upon rotation of the axle. The slider and the syringe piston are interconnected to advance the syringe piston stepwise upon repeated actuation of the trigger.
