Abstract
A Japanese knotweed injector system for injecting a dose of weed-killing fluid into the stem of a Japanese knotweed, including a fluid dispenser system with a fluid passage, a collared needle with a fluid delivery aperture in communication with the fluid dispenser system, and an actuator connected to the fluid dispenser system for actuating the transmission of fluid from the fluid dispenser system to the fluid delivery aperture.
Claims15
A Japanese knotweed injector system for injecting a dose of weed-killing fluid into the stem of a Japanese knotweed, comprising:
- a fluid dispenser system with a fluid passage;
- a collared needle with a fluid delivery aperture in communication with the fluid dispenser system, said aperture located distally from both the collar and the penetrating tip of the needle between 0.3500 inches (8.88 mm) and 0.4500 inches (11.43 mm) from the collar;
- and
- an actuator means connected to the fluid dispenser system for actuating the transmission of fluid from the fluid dispenser system to the fluid delivery aperture, wherein said collared needle impales a Japanese knotweed stem, leaving said aperture in the interior of said Japanese knotweed.
A Japanese knotweed injector system for injecting a dose of weed-killing fluid into the stem of a Japanese knotweed, comprising:
- a needle having a collar for impaling the stem of a Japanese knotweed;
- a fluid delivery aperture located distally from both the collar and the penetrating tip of the needle, set between 0.3500 inches (8.88 mm) and 0.4500 inches (11.43 mm) from the collar;
- a fluid dispenser for dispensing a lethal dose of fluid specific to killing Japanese knotweed;
- an actuating means for actuating the injection;
- and
- a fluid passage coupled to the fluid aperture and the fluid dispenser, the fluid dispenser dispensing the fluid through the fluid passage and the aperture in response to actuation of the actuator while the needle is impaled through the Japanese knotweed stem.
The system of claim 9, wherein the fluid delivery aperture is disposed 0.400 inches (10.16 mm) from the collar along the distal length of the needle.
A Japanese knotweed injector needle, comprising:
- A needle for impaling a Japanese knotweed stem;
- A collar on said needle for stopping said needle after impaling a Japanese knotweed stem;
- and
- A fluid delivery aperture located from both the collar and the penetrating end of the needle, set between 0.3500 inches (8.88 mm) and 0.4500 inches (11.43 mm) from the collar;
- Wherein said collar stops the impalement of the Japanese knotweed stem at the point in which the aperture is located within the core of the Japanese knotweed stem and the Japanese knotweed stem is impaled.
