Bio-medical injector apparatus
First Claim
1. A bio-medical injector apparatus comprising a base unit, carriage means reciprocally secured to the base unit, hypodermic needle means removably secured to the carriage means and movable simultaneously therewith, solenoid means carried by the base unit and operably connected with the carriage means for simultaneous reciprocation of the carriage means and hypodermic needle means, motor drive means carried by the carriage means and operably connected with hypodermic needle means for injection of the contents of the hypodermic needle means during an injection procedure, power means operably connected with solenoid means and motor drive means for supplying electrical power thereto, and electronic circuitry means including sensor means for detecting the presence of blood on the hypodermic needle means, said electronic circuitry means being interposed between the power supply means and the solenoid means and motor drive means for providing the logic required to perform the operation of the injector apparatus to stop the operation of the hypodermic needle upon detection of blood.

Abstract
A bio-medical injector apparatus comprising a base unit having a skin engaging portion disposed at an angular orientation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the base unit for supporting and maintaining a hypodermic needle at an optimum angular orientation for effecting an injection procedure, a carriage assembly reciprocally mounted on the base unit and carrying the hypodermic needle simultaneously therewith, a motor drive unit operably connected with the hypodermic needle for the preloading thereof with a suitable medication, a solenoid secured to the base unit and operably connected with the carriage assembly for a controlled reciprocation thereof for effecting the injection operation of the needle, and an electronic circuitry operably connected between a power supply and the motor drive and the solenoid for creating the logic necessary to perform the functions of the injector apparatus.
