Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for vaccinating animals comprising wand means, a supply source of compressed gas attached to one end of said wand means, a pneumatic device having a cylinder and piston assembly attached to said wand means adjacent said supply source; said supply source being connected with said cylinder for transmissions of pneumatic pressure, valve means on said wand means between said supply source and said cylinder, hypodermic injection means attached to the end of said wand means opposite said supply source, said injection means including a piston rod on said piston, striker means on said piston rod, said wand means being formed to provide a slot over a portion of its length, said striker means being slidably journalled in said slot, whereby said pneumatic device operates said injection means, and abutment means adjustably mounted on said wand means adjacent said slot whereby adjustment of said abutment means controls the length of travel of said striker means and therefore of said piston.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for vaccinating animals comprising wand means, a supply source of compressed gas attached to one end of said wand means, a pneumatic device having a cylinder and piston assembly attached to said wand means adjacent said supply source; said supply source being connected with said cylinder for transmissions of pneumatic pressure, valve means on said wand means between said supply source and said cylinder, hypodermic injection means attached to the end of said wand means opposite said supply source, said injection means including a piston rod on said piston, striker means on said piston rod, said wand means being formed to provide a slot over a portion of its length, said striker means being slidably journalled in said slot, whereby said pneumatic device operates said injection means, and abutment means adjustably mounted on said wand means adjacent said slot whereby adjustment of said abutment means controls the length of travel of said striker means and therefore of said piston.
