Abstract:
Syringe positioning apparatus and methods are disclosed that provide for automated positioning of a syringe at an axially aligned position on a predetermined axis. The apparatus and methods employ first and second members having opposing surfaces that include first and second ramps, respectively, wherein the first ramp angles upward and away from the second member, and the second ramp angles upward and away from the first member. At least one of the first and second members may be advanceable toward the other by an actuator, wherein the first and second ramps may slidably engage a syringe and thereby elevate the syringe to the axially aligned position on the predetermined axis.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for syringe positioning, comprising:\n a first member having an upstanding, first surface; and, a second member having an upstanding, second surface facing the first surface of the first member, wherein the first and the second surfaces include first and second ramps, respectively, that angle upward and away from one another, wherein at least one of the first and second members is advanceable toward the other one of the first and second members, and wherein upon the advancement the first and second ramps are operable to engage, elevate and thereby locate a syringe in an axially aligned position on a predetermined axis extending between the first and second members.
