- the tensioning device can move the piston rod along the first direction in a tensioning operation when the piston is in its front end position until the piston is in its rear end position to thereby fill the cylinder with the fluid to be applied and the piston rod to the open dispensing end to pretend.
- the tensioning device can release the piston rod in a dispensing operation, so that the piston moves against the first direction up to its front end position due to the applied pretension while applying the fluid in the cylinder via the non-return valve is delivered.
- the receiving block is formed as a one-piece receiving block, which is produced by an additive manufacturing process.
- an additive manufacturing process may also be referred to as 3D printing and, for example, be a laser sintering process.
- the receiving block can be manufactured with a relatively low weight and high rigidity and strength.
- the total weight of the Appliz istsvoroplasty is kept as low as possible, whereby a comfortable permanent operation for a user is possible.
- the one-piece design of the receiving block by means of the additive manufacturing method advantageously results in that the receiving block can be made extremely compact, which is not possible with conventional machining production methods.

- a part of the interchangeable group may be in contact with the animal to which the fluid is to be applied when the device according to the invention is used as intended.
- at least this part of the exchangeable group is ahead of the rest of the device according to the invention.
- the replaceable group may have a part which forms the distal end of the device according to the invention, so that, for example, the replaceable group may also be referred to as an exchangeable front group.
- an interchangeable front group is understood in particular to mean that the front group as a whole can be separated from the receiving block and replaced by an identically constructed front group, which is connected for exchange with the receiving block.
- the front group separate from the receiving block is maintained (e.g., by exchanging wearing parts such as gaskets) and then reconnected to the receiving block.
- the detachable connection between the front group and the receiving block may in particular be a screw connection. However, it is also any other type of releasable connection, such as e.g. a bayonet connection, possible.

- the individual cylinders may have the same or different volume.
- the applicator device according to the invention is designed, in particular, as a self-filling applicator device which uses the clamping process to fill the cylinder with the fluid to be applied (for example a liquid to be applied).
- the applicator may be configured to build up a depression in the cylinder during the tightening operation which, when the piston is in its rear end position, is used to draw the fluid into the cylinder due to the negative pressure.
- the applicator according to the invention may comprise the motor, which is used to perform the clamping operation. It can also be said that the engine provides the energy needed to build up the bias of the piston rod.
- the engine may in particular be mounted on the receiving block.
- an energy source e.g. a battery and / or a rechargeable battery may be provided.
- the energy source may e.g. be formed in the foot or foot of the Appliz istsvorraum.
- the energy source can be interchangeable or permanently installed.
- the tensioner may include a spring that biases the piston rod toward the open discharge end when the piston is in the rear end position.
- the applicator device may further comprise a ramp rotatable by the motor with a ramp path extending along a helix.
- the ramp path may increase from a first plateau or level along a grade range to a second plateau or second level and drop from the second plateau via a jump edge to the first plateau.
- the ramp track thus has a single turn and can be referred to as helical with a step.
- the tensioning device may further comprise a roller contacting the ramp track which is rotatably mounted in a dog connected to the end of the piston rod protruding from the cylinder such that upon rotation of the ramp the ramp track passes under the roller rotating therethrough.
- the roller is preferably mounted so that its axis of rotation is perpendicular to the first direction (or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the piston rod).
- the ramp path can be rotated out of contact of the roller with the first plateau so that the roller runs on the slope area to the second plateau and thereby the piston is moved to its rear end position.
- the ramp path can be rotated from contact of the roller with the second plateau until the roller strikes the first plateau via the trailing edge, thereby moving the piston to its front end position.
- the distance of the second plateau from the first plateau along the axis of rotation of the ramp preferably corresponds to the distance from the front to the rear end position of the piston along the first direction and thus the piston stroke.
- the applicator device can be tensioned by means of the motor so that a user can only set a triggering element, such as a triggering element.
- a triggering element such as a triggering element.
- a button, a switch, a rocker switch or a button must operate to release the dispensing operation and thus to effect the application of the fluid.
- many animals are vaccinated quickly one after another with a drug.
- the gradient region of the ramp path can have a first section adjoining the first plateau and an adjoining second section, wherein the pitch of the second section is greater than the gradient of the first section.
- the gradient region of the ramp path can be designed so that both sections are linear relative to the angle of rotation of the screw.
- the first section and / or the second sections have a non-linear course with respect to the angle of rotation.
- the slope of the respective section is preferably the average slope of the respective section.
- the non-linear course of the respective section is preferably a course in which the local gradient increases with increasing angle of rotation.
- the non-linear profile of the respective section may preferably be a concave curvature profile.
- the rotation angle range (or the rotation angle length) of the first portion may be smaller than the rotation angle range (or the rotation angle length) of the second portion.
- the ratio of the rotation angle range of the first portion to the rotation angle range of the second portion is not more than 4/6 and not less than 1/9.
- the roller can have a support region, which rests on the gradient region of the ramp path, and at least one lateral region adjoining it laterally, which has a smaller outer diameter than that of the support region and which does not rest on the gradient region of the ramp path.
- both the support area and the side area can come into contact with an edge of the ramp path which connects the second plateau to the trailing edge. This leads to the advantage that there is a relatively low rolling or frictional resistance between the roller and the ramp track in the region of the gradient range.
- both the receiving area and the side area is located on the edge, so that here the support surface is increased, so that there is a smaller pressure. This is advantageous because the transition of the roller over the edge, the highest force acts on the roller, and thus undesirable pressure peaks can be reduced. This increases the durability of the roller.
- the roller can each have a laterally adjoining side region with a smaller outer diameter than the support region on both sides of the support region. This leads to a further reduction of the pressure on the roller during the transition over the edge.
- the roller may be formed so that the outer diameter of the support area is constant.
- the outer diameter of the respective side region may decrease in a direction toward the side of the roll (or in a direction away from the support region or with increasing distance from the support region).
- the roller may be formed as a plastic roller.
- the ramp can be made of metal.
- the piston may be formed integrally with the piston rod.
- the front end of the piston rod forms the piston.
- the piston is a separate element that is connected to the piston rod.

- the device 1 according to the invention which can also be referred to as the application device 1, is designed in the embodiment described here for the simultaneous application of two different drugs in animals, wherein the application of the drug is performed without needles by the flaut.
- a separate cylinder-piston arrangement is provided for each drug, as will be described in detail below, which is designed in each case as Doublephilllertyp such that moving the piston towards the discharge end causes an ejection of the fluid and a opposite movement of the piston causes a filling of the cylinder for the next ejection process.
- the application device 1 comprises a receiving block 10, which carries a control board 11 and a motor 12, and two front groups 13, 14, of which in the illustration of FIG the front group 13 is visible. Since the front groups 13 and 14 are of identical construction, only the front group 13 will be described below in detail.
- a drug container M which contains a liquid drug for the front group 13, located.
- FIG. 3 A sectional view of the front group 13 is shown in Fig. 3.
- the front group 13 comprises an insert 15, in which a syringe cylinder 16 is formed with an open discharge end 17.
- a check valve 18 (or a suction valve 18) is arranged on the outlet side.
- the open discharge end 17 opens, with the check valve 18 open, into a nozzle 19, via which the fluid to be dispensed (here the corresponding liquid drug) is discharged.
- the check valve 18 is biased by a spring 20 to the open discharge end 17 and closes the open discharge end 17 in the position of the check valve 18 shown in FIG.
- the front group 13 comprises a triggering cage 21 extending over the nozzle 19, which is pressed and biased by means of a spring 22 in the direction from the open discharge end 17 to the nozzle 19.
- the trigger cage 21 is displaceably mounted along the longitudinal axis of the front group 13 (from left to right in FIG. 3) so that it is displaced in the direction of the nozzle 19 towards the open discharge end 17 when the application device 1 is applied to the corresponding skin site in the animal and thereby, for example, triggers a contact sensor (not shown) which releases the triggering of the application process, as will be described in detail below.
- the insert 15 has radially extending feed channels 25 at a proximal end 24 of the syringe barrel 16 opposite the open dispensing end 17, via which the fluid to be applied or the liquid medicament reaches the syringe barrel 16 for a next ejection process.
- FIG. 4 the front group 13 and the distal end 30 of the receiving block 10 is shown before the screwing.
- FIG. 5 the two elements 13, 30 are screwed together so that a guided in the receiving block 10 piston rod 35 with a formed at its distal end piston 36 slightly into the syringe barrel 16 and the piston rod 35 is guided by the guide bush 28.
- the piston rod 35 can, as will be described in detail below, from the basic position shown in FIG.
- the liquid drug is due to the syringe barrel 16 existing negative pressure from the drug container M via the connecting element 33, the chamber 32, the or the feed channels 25, the transverse bore (s) 38 and the blind bore 37 sucked into the syringe barrel 16 so that it is filled with the liquid drug.
- the drug can be applied again at the next triggering process, wherein at the beginning of the movement of the piston rod 35 from the basic position to the ejection position, some of the liquid drug is pushed back into the chamber 32 via the feed channels 25.
- This pushing back is advantageous because it allows the piston 36 and the piston rod 35 to be accelerated more easily, resulting in a higher pressure applied to the remainder of the drug in the syringe barrel 16 and desired for the needleless injection described.
- the front group 13 which comprises in particular the syringe cylinder 16, the check valve 18 and the nozzle 19, is designed to be interchangeable as a whole. It can by means of its external thread 27 in the corresponding internal thread 31, which is formed at the distal end 30 of the receiving block 10, screwed and unscrewed.
- the receiving block 10 has a first receiving cylinder 40, into which the piston rod 35 for the first front group 13 is guided, and a second receiving cylinder 140, in which a piston rod 135 for the second front group 14 is on, on. Since the structure of the two cylinder-piston assemblies and thus also of the two receiving cylinders 40, 140 is the same, only the first cylinder-piston arrangement with the first receiving cylinder 40 will be described below in the description of the receiving block 10 substantially. Corresponding elements in the second receiving cylinder 140 are designated by reference numerals, which are larger by 100 than in the elements of the first receiving cylinder 40, but will not be described again.
- the piston rod 35 passes through the first receiving cylinder 40, in which a spring 41 is included for moving the piston rod 35 from the cocked basic position shown in Fig. 5 to the ejection position shown in Fig. 6.
- a distal end 42 of the spring 41 abuts against a stop portion 43 of the piston rod 35.
- the proximal end 44 of the spring 41 abuts a guide bushing 45 screwed into the proximal end of the first receiving cylinder 40 so that upon movement of the piston rod from the ejection positions shown in FIG. 6 along the first direction to the one shown in FIG 5, the spring 41 is compressed and thereby prestressed, as shown in FIG.
- the end of the piston rod 35 protruding proximally from the receiving cylinder 40 is connected to a driver 50, which has a rotatably mounted roller 51, wherein the axis of rotation of the roller 51 substantially extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the piston rod 35.
- the ramp 52 has a ramp path 53 which runs along a helix with a single turn, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 7, 8 and 10.
- the ramp track 53 has a first linear gradient section S1, which is present up to the angle of rotation a.
- the pitch transitions into a second linear pitch section S2, which has a greater pitch than the first linear pitch section S1 (between the rotational angles al and a2).
- the second slope is up to the rotation angle a3 and then passes into a second plateau, in which no increase (or only a very small increase or only a very small decrease) of the pitch z2 with a further increase in the rotation angle to the rotation angle a4 of less than 360 °.
- an edge 54 is formed due to the trailing edge 46 which connects the second plateau to the first plateau.
- the piston rod 35 is in its tensioned basic position according to FIG. 5.
- the application device 1 is thus ready for the application of the liquid medicament.
- the motor 12 continues to rotate the ramp 52, so that when the rotational angle a5 is exceeded, the roller 51 Runs over the edge 54 and due to the spring tension of the spring 41 abruptly falls back from the pitch z2 to the pitch zO of the first plateau, so that the present in the syringe barrel 16 fluid is ejected in the manner described.
- the motor 12 then rotates the ramp 52 thereafter to the second plateau and here stops the rotational movement, thereby filling the syringe barrel 16 again with the liquid drug and bringing the plunger rod 35 back to its cocked home position.
- the Appliz istsvortechnisch 1 is ready for another application process. In this way, the applicator 1 can be repeatedly wound up and released.
- the two slope sections S1 and S2 form a gradient region extending from the first plateau to the second plateau.
- the two pitch sections S1 and S2 do not have to be linear with respect to the angle of rotation. They may also, as shown by way of example in FIG. 11B, have a concave curvature (in which the local slope increases with increasing angle of rotation). However, also in this case, the mean slope of the first slope section S1 is smaller than the mean slope of the second slope section S2.
- tensioning device S The combination of motor 12, ramp 52, driver 50 with roller 51, spring 41, 141 and guide bushing 45, 145 may be referred to as a tensioning device S.
- the roller 51 comprises a central region 55 which has a constant outside diameter. This is followed on both sides in each case by a side region 56, 57, in which the outer diameter decreases towards the side.
- An end region 58, 59 adjoins both side regions 56 and 57, which is rounded so that the roller 51 has no edges.
- the central region 55 is in the rotation angle range from cd to a3 (in particular from aq to a5), whereas the side regions 56 and 57 do not rest in this rotation angle range but only in contact with the overflowing of the edge 54 the ramp track 53 come.
- the rolling resistance of the roller 51 when tensioning the piston rod 35 (turning the ramp path from the first to the second plateau) is as low as possible.
- This characteristic of the slope of the ramp track 52 advantageously results in that the durability of the motor 50 is increased.
- the receiving block 10 is integrally formed.
- an additive fluffing method has been used, e.g. Laser sintering, selective laser sintering or direct metal laser sintering, with which finer and / or more complex structures can be produced in comparison to cutting processes.
- the receiving block 10 can thus be provided with a relatively low weight, and a high durability of the applicator 1 can be ensured.
- the recording block 10 e.g. Aluminum, steel (e.g., maraging steel), stainless steel, titanium, a nickel alloy, and / or a cobalt-chromium alloy.
- the material for laser sintering is preferably present as metal powder.
- a thin layer of the powder material can be applied to a construction platform. A laser beam melts the powder exactly at the locations predetermined by computer-generated part design data of the take-up block 10. Thereafter, the building platform is lowered and there is the order of another thin layer of the powder material. The material is melted again and combines at the defined locations with the underlying layer. These steps are repeated until the entire recording block 10 is formed.
- the receiving block 10 comprises, in addition to the already described receiving cylinders 40, 140 four board receiving points 60, 61, 62 and 63, on which the board 1 1 placed and can be screwed to the receiving block 10, for example.
- the receiving block comprises an engine mount 64 for receiving and supporting the engine 12. Furthermore, four fixation points 65, 66, 67 and 68 for the outer housing 2 of the Appliz istsvorraum 1 are formed. Portions of corresponding receptacles 265, 266, 267 and 268 of the outer housing 2 are shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
- the umbrella-like delivery area 7 is provided, which in addition to the corresponding internal thread 31 and 131 for the first and second front groups 13 and 14 still recordings 69 and 169 for the respective trigger sensor (not shown), the position of the trigger cage 21st 121 detected.
- an O-ring receiver 70 is formed, into which an O-ring 71 (e.g., Figs. 9, 16, and 17) can be inserted to ensure sealing against the adjacent housing 2 when installed.
- an O-ring 71 e.g., Figs. 9, 16, and 17
- the receiving block 10 for each receiving cylinder 40, 140 comprises a receptacle 72, 172, in which the corresponding connection element 33, 133, which may also be referred to as a fluid adapter, can be used.
- the connecting element 33, 133 is preferably produced by machining.
- titanium is preferably used as the material for the receiving block 10. This material is on the one hand relatively light and on the other hand ensures the desired strength. Of course, any other suitable material may be used for additive manufacturing processes.
- the applicator device 1 can also be designed so that the receiving block 10 has only a single receiving cylinder 40, so that only a single drug can be applied in a triggering operation.
- the second receiving cylinder 140 and the second cylinder-piston rod combination are then preferably omitted.
- the applicator device 1 is designed as a needleless applicator device 1.
- it can also be designed as an application device 1 with a needle or a cannula, so that in this case the needle or cannula is stabbed into the skin of the animal and then the application by means of the liquid medicament takes place in the manner described.
