DEVICE FOR INJECTING FLUID INTO A BIRD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024085 titled 'DEVICE FOR INJECTING FLUID INTO A BIRD

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a device for injecting fluid into a bird. The device includes a main body with an injection assembly comprising an injection needle and at least one syringe. The needle can move between a retracted position and an injecting position located outside the main body in an injection zone.

The device includes a guide element positioned on the exterior surface of the main body. The guide element has a base and side edges extending from the base. The upper part of the bird's back to be vaccinated rests against the base and can be moved head first along a guide axis defined by the guide element to the injecting position. The guide element also keeps at least the neck of the bird aligned or substantially aligned along the guide axis in the injection zone.

The injection needle is arranged to move along an axis of movement parallel to the exterior surface of the base or at an angle relative to the surface. This axis of movement extends beyond an exclusion zone surrounding the guide axis.

• The device is designed to inject fluid into a bird.
• It includes a main body with an injection assembly comprising a needle and syringe.
• The needle can move between a retracted position and an injecting position in an injection zone.
• A guide element is positioned on the exterior surface of the main body.
• The guide element has a base and side edges.
• The upper part of the bird's back rests against the base and can be moved along a guide axis to the injecting position.
• The guide element keeps the bird's neck aligned along the guide axis in the injection zone.
• The injection needle moves parallel or at an angle to the base's surface.
• The movement of the needle extends beyond an exclusion zone surrounding the guide axis.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Vaccination of birds in a controlled and efficient manner.
• Injection of medication or fluids into birds for medical treatment.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Ensures accurate and precise injection of fluid into birds.
• Provides a guide for proper alignment of the bird's neck during injection.

Benefits of this technology:

• Minimizes the risk of injury or discomfort to the bird during injection.
• Increases the efficiency and effectiveness of bird vaccination or medical treatment.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention relates to a device for injecting fluid into a bird, the device having a main body (), which comprises an injection assembly comprising an injection needle and at least one syringe, the needle being movable between a retracted position and an injecting position located in an injection zone positioned outside the main body (). according to the invention, said device comprises:—a guide element () positioned on an exterior surface of the main body (), the guide element () comprising a base () and side edges () extending from said base, at least the upper part of the back of the bird to be vaccinated being intended to rest against said base () and to be moved, head first, along a guide axis () defined by the guide element (), to the injecting position,—the guide element () being additionally configured to keep at least the neck of the bird aligned or substantially aligned along said guide axis () in the injection zone—the injection needle being arranged such that when it is moved between the retracted and injecting positions, it moves along an axis of movement parallel to the exterior surface of the base, or at an angle relative to said exterior surface, said axis of movement extending, away from the main body, beyond an exclusion zone surrounding the guide axis ().
