Abstract
Abstract A pistol applicator has a piston handle and a hand hold which are drawn towards each other during application and a piston cylinder housing. An adjustable dose regulating device is provided including a dose regulating wheel fixed to the cylinder housing and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the cylinder housing and a plurality of notches in the dose regulating wheel each having a different radial extent. An outwardly tapering stepped cross piece is attached to the piston handle and is insertable in one preselected notch at a time, wherein one step of the crosspiece is engageable with the preselected one of the notches upon operating the applicator piston to limit the stroke thereof and thereby regulate the dose applied.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
In a pistol applicator for use in veterinary or botanical fields and the like and having a piston operator and a handhold which are drawn towards each other during application and a piston cylinder housing, wherein the improvement comprises adjustable dose-regulating means including a dose-regulating wheel fixed to the cylinder housing and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the cylinder housing and means defining a plurality of notches in the wheel, each having a different radial extent and an outwardly tapering stepped crosspiece attached to the piston operator and insertable in one preselected notch at a time, wherein one step of the crosspiece is engageable with the means defining a preselected one of the notches when the piston operator is drawn towards the handhold to limit the stroke of the piston operator and thereby regulate the dose applied.
