Abstract
Abstract In this piston pump, the pump housing (1) is provided with a mounting (E) for a vessel (3), which consists of a pipe end (4) provided with a hollow needle (5) and of a connecting element (9, 16, 17) for connecting the vessel (3) to the pipe end (4). The pump housing (1) has an inlet channel (7) which is connected to a channel (6) in the pipe end (4). So that the vessels (3) can be connected rigidly to the piston pump, the connecting element consists, for example, of a metal sheet (9) bent in the form of a U, which is provided on its inner side with U-shaped yokes (10, 11), the yoke (10) facing the pump housing (9) engaging into a groove (12) provided in the pipe end (4) and the other yoke (11) serving for surrounding the vessel neck.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A piston pump for needle-less injection instruments, in which the pump housing has a mounting for a vessel for the medium to be injected, this mounting consisting of a pipe end which is provided with a hollow needle for receiving the vessel and which is part of the pump housing and of a connecting element for connecting the vessel to the pipe end, the pump housing having an inlet channel connected to a channel in the pipe end, wherein the connecting element consists of a metal sheet (9) bent in the form of a U, which is provided on its inner side with U-shaped yokes (10, 11), the yoke (10) facing the pump housing (1) engaging into a groove (12) provided in the pipe end (4) and the other yoke (11) serving for surrounding the vessel neck.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A piston pump for needle-less injection instruments, in which the pump housing has a mounting for a vessel for the medium to be injected, this mounting consisting of a pipe end which is provided with a hollow needle for receiving the vessel and which is part of the pump housing and of a connecting element for connecting the vessel to the pipe end, the pump housing having an inlet channel connected to a channel in the pipe end, wherein the connecting element consists of a metal sheet (9) bent in the form of a U, which is provided on its inner side with U-shaped yokes (10, 11), the yoke (10) facing the pump housing (1) engaging into a groove (12) provided in the pipe end (4) and the other yoke (11) serving for surrounding the vessel neck.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
139 words
A piston pump for needle-less injection instruments, in which the pump housing has a mounting for a vessel for the medium to be injected, which consists of a pipe end which is provided with a hollow needle for receiving the vessel and which is part of the pump housing and of a connecting element for connecting the vessel to the pipe end, the pump housing having an inlet channel connected to a channel in the pipe end, wherein the connecting element consists of a needle connection (16) which is connected to the pipe end (4) and carries the hollow needle (5) and which has a peg (18) with an undercut (19), through which the hollow needle (5) is guided, there being arranged telescopically round the needle connection (16) a spring element which presses the vessel against the undercut (19).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
139 words
A piston pump for needle-less injection instruments, in which the pump housing has a mounting for a vessel for the medium to be injected, which consists of a pipe end which is provided with a hollow needle for receiving the vessel and which is part of the pump housing and of a connecting element for connecting the vessel to the pipe end, the pump housing having an inlet channel connected to a channel in the pipe end, wherein the connecting element consists of a needle connection (16) which is connected to the pipe end (4) and carries the hollow needle (5) and which has a peg (18) with an undercut (19), through which the hollow needle (5) is guided, there being arranged telescopically round the needle connection (16) a spring element which presses the vessel against the undercut (19).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The piston pump as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein a venting tube (13) is located in the hollow needle (5).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
