ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic powered, modular device, suitable for giving an adjustable dose of liquid medication to animals drawing the liquid from a bulk container. Modular design permits several ranges of dosage as well as methods of delivery such as hypodermic, oral or poured on skin. In FIG. 1 we show the hypodermic mode. Compressed air enters handle 1 at base through fitting 18, goes through passage 19 into 3 way valve 21 normally closed. Depressing trigger 22 allows air to enter chamber 24 pushing piston 7 forward. Liquid in front of piston 7 is expelled past check valve 25 into chamber 26 and out of hypodermic needle. Gasket 30 holds liquid in. For oral delivery, terminal 35 is substituted. Upon release of trigger 22, 3 way valve 21 permits air on chamber 24 to exhaust via exit 31 on valve, spring 11 pulls piston back until fitting expansion 13 stops against adjustable nut 6. This determines size of dosage. Liquid is suctioned from bulk tank not shown via tube 15 through check ball 16 and into front of piston chamber 7.
