IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic injection device (1) comprising a housing that is sub-divided in the axial direction, the parts of said housing being interconnectable. An axially displaceable stud (5) is guided in a first part (2) of the housing, and an injection canula (15) blocked in a canula guiding mechanism (14) is mounted, with an ampule (13), in the second part (3) of the housing in such a way that they can be displaced in relation to each other. According to the invention, the injection canula (15) is embodied as a puncturing part (32) for the ampule (13), on the side thereof facing the ampule (13), and the end of the ampule (13) facing the injection canula (15) is plunged into a sleeve (16) blocked in the second part (3) of the housing, the inner diameter of the sleeve essentially corresponding to the outer diameter of the ampule (13). Radially inwardly protruding projections (17) are formed on the inner circumference of the sleeve (16), and the sleeve (16) comprises locking elements which co-operate with locking elements (20) of the canula guiding mechanism (14).

Inventor: CHEN SHENG-JUI
IPC: A61D19/02
Filed: 2006-06-09
Abstract: An improved artificial insemination device with an inner catheter for animals is disclosed. The device is characterized by having a thin flexible tube and a positioning stop member installed respectively at the front end and rear end of an inner catheter that is movably inserted in the catheter tube. The thin flexible tube instantly extends forward from the front end of inner catheter when semen is squeezed into the inner catheter. Thus after the nozzle of catheter tube reaches the first cervical ring of the animal, the inner catheter only needs to extend inward a proper distance, and the semen, with the aid of squeeze force and the thin flexible tube advancing freely along the cervical tract, could be delivered to uterus smoothly, swiftly and accurately without causing trauma to the uterus. Also with the arrangement of the positioning stop member, the distance the inner catheter travels inward can be set. As the depth and location of inward extension are under proper control, the practice of artificial insemination is made simple, convenient, fast, efficient and safe for the animal.
