Abstract:
A method of using a hand-held miniature device for injecting an agent into a tree with continuous pressure that is adjustable. The device features one-thumb on/off switch operation for a metered dose, precise dose measuring, and air-powered injection in a lightweight device. The on/off switch does not need to be held in the on position by a user.

Claim (Index 8):
A hand-held miniature automatic tree injection apparatus capable of delivering a variable but continuous injection of a pre-chosen treatment agent at predetermined pressures into the trunk of a tree, the apparatus comprising: a reservoir for holding the treatment agent, an injection needle joined to the reservoir, a piston for powering the apparatus whose head slides within a piston chamber to generate a continuous flow pressure for injection, an air tank or other air source for driving the piston, and a connection to a source of energy for operating the apparatus, wherein the apparatus integrates simple visual adjustment of dose through a clear barrel, speed control, 2:1 power advantage, air bleed adjustment, switching and automatic operation into a single apparatus that weighs between about 1-4 pounds and fits into the palm of a user's hand.
