INLINE PUMP WITH REAR ATTACHABLE SYRINGE
First Claim
1. A syringe pump system, the system comprising:
- a pump comprising;
a linear actuator;
a shaft having a shaft longitudinal axis, the shaft having a first and a second end, the first end coupled to the linear actuator;
a cylindrical syringe connector coupled to the second end of the shaft; and
,a syringe comprising;
a plunger rod, the plunger rod having a plunger longitudinal axis; and
,a plunger button coupled to the plunger rod, the plunger button configured to detachably mate with the syringe connector.

Abstract
Inline pumps with rear attachable syringes are disclosed. The pump and the syringe are each designed so that the pump syringe system may be easily coupled and decoupled in the field. An end mount block on the pump has a slot shaped to accept a similarly shaped plunger button and plunger rod on the syringe. A user aligns the plunger button of the syringe next to the slot on the mount block of the pump, and slides the plunger button and rod into the inner cavity of the pump. Both the pump and the syringe have threaded couplers which securely couple the pump to the syringe by rotating the couplers with respect to each other.
