Abstract: A device for the needle-free injection of a fluid into an animal can include a contact device including a shaped contact surface that is shaped in conformity with a body part of the animal to which the injection is to be administered. Also included is a first injector including a front dispensing end which, during the needle-free injection, extends through a first passage opening in the shaped contact surface and protrudes in relation to the shaped contact surface in a region adjacent to the first passage opening, a first measuring device which outputs at least one first measuring signal in order to detect contact of the animal with the front dispensing end of the first injector, and a control unit which activates a needle-free injection via the first injector on the basis of the at least one first measuring signal.

Abstract: A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller. A dose setting means can be provided which comprises a spacer and a movement unit. The spacer moves from a neutral position into an active position such that the driver is stopped by the spacer so the piston stroke during the movement of the piston to the open dispensing end is shorter in comparison to the case in which the spacer is in its neutral position. The spacer has a through bore in which a spindle with a spindle thread is guided. A pin protrudes into the spindle thread. The spindle thread leads at at least one of its two ends into an annular groove.

The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller which is in contact with the ramp track and which is mounted rotatably in a driver. The device can further include a front part, which includes the cylinder and the open dispensing end, and a rear part, which includes the tensioning device. The front part and the rear part can be formed from different materials.

The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller which is in contact with the ramp track and which is mounted rotatably in a driver. The driver can be connected to the piston rod via a joint. In a tensioning procedure, the ramp track is rotated such that the roller runs on the region of inclination as far as the second plateau and the piston is thereby moved to its rear end position. In a dispensing procedure, the ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and, on account of the tensioning, is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward the an dispensing end.

In a tensioning procedure, the ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and, on account of the tensioning, is accelerated toward the first plateau. As a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The administering device can be configured with one cylinder, one piston and one piston rod. The tensioning device can include two helical screws which run parallel to each other and which both, when the piston is in its rear end position, contribute to the pretensioning which is present.

In a dispensing procedure a ramp track is rotated until the roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. A motor is connected to the ramp via a coupling. To rotate the ramp, the coupling transmits torque provided by the motor in the first rotation direction and, in the process, provides a freewheel counter to the first rotation direction. The freewheel is configured such that it covers at least a rotation angle range which corresponds to the transfer region.

In a dispensing procedure, a ramp track is rotated until a roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The ramp track runs on the face side of a wall extending along a circular path. A cover engages over the ramp track, the driver and the roller and has at least one scraper extending counter to the first direction and extending within the wall as far as the inner side of the wall, and thus scrapes off lubricant located on the inner side from the inner side.
