Remote drug injection device

A remote drug injecting device for remotely administering a drug to an animal which can employ a standard hypodermic syringe having a barrel and a plunger which slidably engages the barrel, a needle attached to the syringe providing a needle/barrel junction, the remote drug injecting device comprising:

• a tube having a front rim, a rear rim and a tube axis, said tube having,
• a syringe section tapered such that said front rim provides a section of minimum cross section, said syringe section having a longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage configured to grippably engage the syringe,
• a plunger section having a plunger passage having a cross section configured to accommodate the plunger, and
• a rear section having a rear passage,
• said longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage and said plunger passage, and said rear passage lying on said tube axis;
• a cylindrical syringe insertion passage passing through said syringe section of said tube, said cylindrical syringe insertion passage having a central axis which intersects said tube axis providing an intersection between said longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage and said cylindrical syringe insertion passage, said cylindrical syringe insertion passage being contoured to be slidably engaged by the syringe and said intersection providing two pairs protrusion which extend into said intersection;
• a bottom syringe passage opening extending from said front rim of said tube and joining said cylindrical syringe insertion passage;
• a top syringe passage opening extending from said cylindrical syringe insertion passage into said plunger section;
• a plunger section opening continuing said top syringe passage opening into said plunger section;
• a shaft slidably engaging said rear passage of said tube;
• means for maintaining said shaft in said rear section;
• and
• means to stabilize the needle/barrel junction.

A remote drug injection device for remotely administering a drug to an animal which can employ a standard hypodermic syringe having a flange, a barrel and a plunger which slidably engages the barrel, comprising:

• a tube having a front rim, a rear rim and a tube axis, said tube having,
• a syringe section tapered such that said front rim provides a section of minimum cross section, said syringe section having a longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage configured to grippably engage the syringe,
• a plunger section having a plunger passage having a cross section configured to accommodate the plunger, and
• a rear section having a rear passage,
• said longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage and said plunger passage, and said rear passage lying on said tube axis, and
• said tube is provided with a flange engaging slot;
• a cylindrical syringe insertion passage passing through said syringe section of said tube, said cylindrical syringe insertion passage having a central axis which intersects said tube axis providing an intersection between said longitudinal cylindrical syringe engaging passage and said cylindrical syringe insertion passage, said cylindrical syringe insertion passage being contoured to be slidably engaged by the syringe and said intersection providing two pairs protrusion which extend into said intersection;
• a bottom syringe passage opening extending from said front rim of said tube and joining said syringe insertion passage;
• a top syringe passage opening extending from said cylindrical syringe insertion passage into said plunger section;
• a plunger section opening continuing said top syringe passage opening into said plunger section;
• a shaft slidably engaging said rear passage of said tube;
• and
• means for maintaining said shaft in said rear section.
