DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an injection spray gun with a holder configured for the attachment of a sheathing provided to receive a cylindrical ampule, a handle connected therewith, an actuating lever attached pivotally thereto and a plunger, guided in the holder and connected with the actuating lever, causing the forward thrust of a piston located in the cylindrical ampule.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
Such injection spray guns are used for various medical purposes, especially by dentists for intraligamental anesthesia. The advantage of such a spray gun is that it can produce a very high pressure for each individual spray process.
However the drawback with such injection spray guns is that the doctor using the instrument must control and limit the pressure which is produced purely by touch, in order to prevent the breaking open of the cylindrical ampule which is being used (containing the solution which is to be sprayed) and the washing of a tooth, to be treated, out of its paradontal tooth socket (alveolar cavity) or at least its being worked loose.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is therefore to construct an injection spray gun in such a manner that the pressure exerted by the lever mechanism on the fluid to be sprayed can be limited and even adjusted and controlled.
This object is attained in that with an injection spray gun of this type, a pressure limiting device is provided on actuating lever and/or plunger.
According to the invention, this pressure limiting device consists essentially of a spring element and a two-arm shift lever.
It is advantageous that the actuating lever be fastened to the handle by the two-arm shift lever, and the two-arm shift lever be mounted pivotally on an axis arranged in the handle. The actuating lever with its pivot axis is fastened pivotally on the first arm of the shift lever and the spring element operatively engages the second arm of the shift lever.
With this arrangement, the shift lever acts as a block for the actuating lever, and this block can deflect the pressure originated by the actuating lever when it has attained a certain level and upon release of this pressure can return to its original position. The spring element forms the adjustable block force.
It is advantageous that the spring element be configured as a helical spring and arranged on a guide rod. This guide rod is mounted flexibly or by articulation with its first end on the second arm of the shift lever and its second end projects into an adjusting screw installed in the handle. One end of the spring element engages the rim of the adjusting screw.
This prescribed combination of spring element and guide rod allows precise adjustability of the block pressure caused by the spring element.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The invention may be better understood by referring to the detailed description of the invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
The sole FIGURE shows a partially cut open side view of an injection spray gun according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The injection spray gun shown in the drawing consists essentially of a handle 1, a holder 2 configured in one piece with the handle, and an actuating lever 3, mounted pivotally in the handle, which actuates a pawl 4 through a lever mechanism built into the handle and explained in more detail hereinafter, which engages sequentially in driving arms 6 formed on plunger 5 and causes the advance of plunger 5 following any actuation of actuating lever 3. Plunger 5 is guided in holder 2 and also in an additional guide member 7 on handle 1.
A sheathing 8 is introduced into holder 2, in which is also inserted a piston 10 closing the cylindrical ampule 9 containing the medication to be sprayed in from the outside. The sheathing-like end of plunger 5 comes into engagement on piston 10 and presses the piston into a cylindrical ampule 9 during the spraying process.
Actuating lever 3 is mounted
