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 15):
The apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n a mount member moveable along the tray in a first direction from a retracted position and in a second direction toward the retracted position, the first member being supportably interconnected to and moveable with the mount member, wherein during movement of the mount member in the first direction from the retracted position the first member advances toward the second member and is disposed to pass through a first region of the tray to engage and thereby advance a syringe from the first region in to a second region of the tray within which the first member and second member are operable to engage, elevate and thereby locate the syringe on the predetermined axis, and wherein during movement of the mount member in the second direction toward the retracted position the first member retracts away from the second member and is disposed to bypass the first region.
