Abstract

Abstract A two step type pressurized injector comprising as main parts, a medicine chamber for holding an injecting liquid, a piston for pressurizing the injecting liquid, a nozzle hole for ejecting the injecting liquid, a power means for displacing said piston and a regulating means for regulating the displacement of said piston is provided. This injector gives less irritation i.e. pain to the skin of a person who is receiving the injection and less external injury to the skin. The injection is carried out under a pressure of 120 Kg/cm 2 or higher to effect rapid perforation to a skin and then under a pressure of 100 Kg/cm 2 or lower after the perforation.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
A two step type pressurized liquid injector comprising a medicine chamber for holding an injecting liquid, a nozzle hole communicating with the medicine chamber through which the injecting liquid is ejected, a piston slidably positioned within the medicine chamber, a power means connected with the piston, the power means for operating said piston within said chamber whereby liquid therein is ejected under a pressure of at least 120 kg/cm 2 for a finite time up to 0.05 seconds, and a regulating means for regulating the transfer of the pressure imparted by the power means to the injecting liquid, the regulating means regulating the pressure such that the injection pressure of the injecting liquid is 100 kg/cm 2 or lower subsequent to said finite time and within 0.05 seconds from the initiation of the injecting of the liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
A two step type pressurized liquid injector comprising a medicine chamber for holding an injecting liquid, a nozzle hole communicating with the medicine chamber through which the injecting liquid is ejected, a piston slidably positioned within the medicine chamber, a power means connected with the piston, the power means for operating said piston within said chamber whereby liquid therein is ejected under a pressure of at least 120 kg/cm 2 for a finite time up to 0.05 seconds, and a regulating means for regulating the transfer of the pressure imparted by the power means to the injecting liquid, the regulating means regulating the pressure such that the injection pressure of the injecting liquid is 100 kg/cm 2 or lower subsequent to said finite time and within 0.05 seconds from the initiation of the injecting of the liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
A two step type pressurized injector according to claim 1 wherein said power means comprises a means for starting said piston and exerting it upon the injecting liquid under a pressure of at least 120 Kg/cm 2 and a means for displacing said piston under a pressure of up to 100 kg/cm 2 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
A two step type pressurized injector according to claim 3 wherein said power means is at least two springs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A two step type pressurized injector according to claim 1 wherein said power means is a spring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
A two step type pressurized injector according to claim 1 wherein said power means is a compressed gas.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
A two step type pressurized injector according to claim 1 wherein said power means is a gas generator.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 220 words
A two step type pressurized injector comprising a body having a medicine chamber for holding an injecting liquid, a nozzle hole which communicates with the medicine chamber, through which the injecting liquid is ejected, a piston slidably positioned within the medicine chamber, a power means connected to the piston, the power means for operating said piston within said chamber whereby liquid therein, is ejected under a pressure of at least 120 kg/cm 2 for a finite time up to 0.05 seconds, a chamber for holding a non-compressible fluid, the chamber being positioned in a space between the piston and the body of the injector, and a tubular passageway, through which the non-compressible fluid is passed, connected to the chamber by a check valve, a cylinder having a piston therein connected to said tubular passageway downstream of said check valve, said piston having a small opening therein, the cylinder being a predetermined length whereby, the piston moves a predetermined distance to initially move the non-compressible fluid at a first rate, and thereafter to move the fluid more slowly through the small opening in the piston at a second rate whereby, the injection pressure of the injecting liquid is 100 kg/cm 2 or lower subsequent to said finite time and within 0.05 seconds from the initiation of the injecting of the liquid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 220 words
A two step type pressurized injector comprising a body having a medicine chamber for holding an injecting liquid, a nozzle hole which communicates with the medicine chamber, through which the injecting liquid is ejected, a piston slidably positioned within the medicine chamber, a power means connected to the piston, the power means for operating said piston within said chamber whereby liquid therein, is ejected under a pressure of at least 120 kg/cm 2 for a finite time up to 0.05 seconds, a chamber for holding a non-compressible fluid, the chamber being positioned in a space between the piston and the body of the injector, and a tubular passageway, through which the non-compressible fluid is passed, connected to the chamber by a check valve, a cylinder having a piston therein connected to said tubular passageway downstream of said check valve, said piston having a small opening therein, the cylinder being a predetermined length whereby, the piston moves a predetermined distance to initially move the non-compressible fluid at a first rate, and thereafter to move the fluid more slowly through the small opening in the piston at a second rate whereby, the injection pressure of the injecting liquid is 100 kg/cm 2 or lower subsequent to said finite time and within 0.05 seconds from the initiation of the injecting of the liquid.
