Abstract

Abstract This invention concerns an endermic injector device (10) for subcutaneous injections without a needle, said device (10) being suitable for injecting under pressure at least one fluid drawn in a measured dose from replaceable phials (15) which are advantageously of a throwaway kind, whereby nozzle means (18), means to aspirate fluid, means to expel fluid and means to provide the required expulsion force are comprised, said device (10) including in cooperation: - an aspiration and ejection group (27) consisting of valve means (19) to draw and deliver fluid, a cylindrical chamber (33) to hold fluid together with a removable small piston (34), and safety means with an alignment head (32), - a group to control aspiration and expulsion (29) which comprises means for axial withdrawal of said small piston (34), tripping means (36-38) and spring means (52) for the axial forward movement of said small piston (34), - means to regulate (60) the pre-loading of said spring means (52) and means (30) to display the quantity of the dose, and - means (14) to hold and position said phials (15).

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
2 - Endermic injector device (10) as in Claim 1, characterized by the fact that the means (14) to hold and position phials (15) comprise at least one containing lodgement (214) with two needles (17-16) cooperating with valve means (19) for temporary connection with the filling chamber (33) and with the outside (116) respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 45 words
3 - Endermic injector device (10) as in Claims 1 and 2, characterized by the fact that the valve means (19) comprise shutter means (31) able to take up an injecting position and a specific filling position for each lodgement (214) holding phials (15). 1
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
4 - Endermic injector device (10) as in Claim 1 and in one or the other of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the injecting position of the shutter means (31) of the valve means (19) is conditioned by safety means with an alignment head (32) in their backward position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 63 words
5 - Endermic injector device (10) as in Claim 1 and in one or another of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the specific extreme loading positions (31A) of the shutter means (31) of the valve means (19) are defined by the fin means (132) of the alignment head means (32) in the forward position (32A) of the fin means (132).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 59 words
6 - Endermic injector device (10) as in Claim 1 and in one or another of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the cylindrical chamber means (33) is made to communicate respectively with the phials (15) and with the nozzle means (18) by the momentary reciprocal position of the shutter means (31) in the valve means (19).
