Abstract

Abstract In this injection instrument, the piston pump (A) is connected to a drive motor (B), of which the working piston (5) supported on a working spring (2) is arranged displaceably in a cylindrical bore (6) of the motor housing (1). A pressure chamber (7) which has supply devices (3, 8) and discharge devices (4, 9) for pressure medium is formed in the bore (6). To ensure that the pressure medium cannot be simultaneously supplied to and discharged from the pressure chamber (7), there is a control shaft (37) which is assigned to valves (8 and 9). The control shaft (37) is provided with a lever (38) and has segment-like recesses (39, 40) which interrupt the engagement of the valves (8, 9) with the control shaft (37). The recesses (39, 40) are arranged on the control shaft (37) so that the valves are not engaged simultaneously with the control shaft (37).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
A needle-less injection instrument with a piston pump for the medium to be injected, which is connected to a drive motor, of which the working piston, supported on a working spring, is arranged displaceably in a cylindrical bore of the motor housing, a pressure chamber for receiving a pressure medium to tension the working spring being formed in the cylindrical bore, and an inlet valve being located in the supply line for the pressure medium and an outlet valve being located in the discharge line, wherein a control shaft (37) provided with a lever (38) is assigned to the valves (8, 9), the control shaft (37) having segment-like recesses (39, 40) which interrupt the engagement of the valves (8, 9) with the control shaft (37) and are so arranged relative to the valves that the valves are not engaged simultaneously with the control shaft (37).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
A needle-less injection instrument with a piston pump for the medium to be injected, which is connected to a drive motor, of which the working piston, supported on a working spring, is arranged displaceably in a cylindrical bore of the motor housing, a pressure chamber for receiving a pressure medium to tension the working spring being formed in the cylindrical bore, and an inlet valve being located in the supply line for the pressure medium and an outlet valve being located in the discharge line, wherein a control shaft (37) provided with a lever (38) is assigned to the valves (8, 9), the control shaft (37) having segment-like recesses (39, 40) which interrupt the engagement of the valves (8, 9) with the control shaft (37) and are so arranged relative to the valves that the valves are not engaged simultaneously with the control shaft (37).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The needle-less injection instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein rams (12, 14) connected to an operating element (C) are assigned to the lever (38).
