  • the spool 22 includes a central aperture 23 through which the plunger 19 is translatable.
  • a sliding bearing block 24 is slideable within the tubular body 2 and on the plunger rod 19.
  • the sliding bearing block 24 includes a detent pin 25 which rides on the plunger rod 19 and is spring biased toward the rod 19 via a leaf spring 26 carried from the sliding bearing block 24.
  • the detent pin 25 projects through a radial bore in the sliding bearing block 24.
  • a coil spring 27 is captured on the plunger rod 19 and is compressable between the end wall of the finger gripping spool 22 and the sliding bearing block 24.
  • the plunger rod 19 includes an annular recess about 2 inches from the forward end thereof at 28 to define a shoulder 29 and a tapered ramp portion 31 extending rearwardly from the shoulder 29.
  • a centrally bored cartridge stripper and ejector plug 33 is disposed in the main body 2 proximate the rear end of the side breech opening 6.
  • the plug 33 is fixedly held in position via the intermediary of a holding screw 34 passing through the wall of the main body 2 into a tapped hole in the stripper and ejector plug 33.
  • the plunger rod 19 is retracted to its rearward most position, as shown in FIG. 1, by pulling knob 21 away from the body 2.
  • the sliding bearing block slides on the plunger rod 19 until such time as the detent 25 rides down the inclined ramp portion 31 into contact with shoulder 29. Further retraction of the plunger rod 19 causes the sliding bearing block to be pulled rearwardly with the rod and to compress the coil spring 27.
  • a loaded cartridge 7 is loaded into the chamber 14 through the side loading breech 6. The plunger rod 19 is then allowed to move forwardly due to the expansive forces of the compressed coil spring 27.
  • the spring 27 pushes the plunger rod 19 forward until the sliding bearing block comes into contact with the rear face 35 of the cylindrical ejector plug 33. At this point, the forward end of the plunger rod 19 is disposed proximate the end cap 13 of the loaded cartridge 7.
  • the operator inserts the hollow needle 3 under the skin of the animal to be treated with the pellets 11.
  • the operator grips finger gripping spool 22 between two fingers and with his thumb pushes the plunger button 21 to cause the plunger rod 19 to move forwardly through the loaded cartridge 7 and the hollow needle 3 for pushing the pellets 11 from the cartridge 7through the needle 3 and under the skin of the animal being treated.
  • the needle 3 is withdrawn.
  • the spent cartridge 7 is ejected by pulling the plunger button 21 and attached rod 19 rearwardly.
  • the spent cartridge 7 grips the rod 19, due to an interference fit therebetween, causing the spent cartridge to be retracted from the chamber 14 with the rod 19.
  • the hollow cylindrical ejector plug 33 includes a forwardly projecting eccentric end portion 36 which projects from the rear end of the side breech opening 6 into the breech region on the side of the plunger rod 19 opposite to the opening b.
  • the cap 13 of the cartridge 7 first engages a forward most eccentrically located stripper face 37 of the ejector plug 33.
  • the rearward motion of the cartridge 7 is arrested and the cartridge is thus stripped from the plunger rod 19.
  • the forward face of the ejector plug 33 includes a rearwardly inclined inwardly dished surface portion 38 which is preferably of a cylindrical section with an axis of revolution transverse to the longitudinal midplane of the side breech opening 6 with the axis of revolution 39 being on the side of the plunger rod 19 opposed to the stripping face 37.
  • a radius of curvature R of the cylindrical surface 38 is approximately 0.437 inch.
  • the ejector plug 33 of the present invention eliminates the cartridge ejection problems encountered in the prior art structure, as shown in FIG. 4. More particularly, in the prior art structure, as the spent cartridge 7 was retracted with the rod 19 the cap 13 came into contact with a stripping screw 37 which was eccentrically positioned in the central bore of the main body 2 to be on the opposite side of the plunger 19 from the side breech opening 6 and to be slightly forward of the rear end of the breech opening 6. The stripping screw 37 served to strip the spent cartridge 7 from the plunger 19 and to impart a bending moment to the cartridge as aforedescribed with regard to FIG. 2. However, because the rod 19 was not restrained against transverse translation, when the gripping action of the spent cartridge 7 on the rod 19 was sufficiently strong and the rod neared its rearward most extent of travel,
  • the bending moment produced sufficient deflection of the rod 19 and deformation of the cap 13 and lip 12 of the cartridge to allow the cartridge 2 to ride over the stripping-screw 37' and to be lodged in the tubular body 2, thereby jamming operation of the implanter 1.
  • a tubular body member a plunger extending into said tubular body from a rear end thereof and being axially movable within said body, a hollow needle member extending from the forward end of said tubular body, said tubular body including a side breech opening disposed intermediate the length of said body for loading and ejecting spent pellet cartridges from said body, said tubular body including a pellet cartridge receiving chamber portion disposed between said side breech portion and said hollow needle for receiving and holding a pellet filled cartridge, said plunger being of a length sufficient to extend from the rear end of said body at least substantially through said hollow needle and being axially movable forwardly toward said hollow needle for pushing pellets contained in the pellet cartridge in said chamber from the cartridge and through said hollow needle, said plunger being axially retractable rearwardly of said body for pulling the spent cartridge, which clings to said plunger, from said chamber and for retracting said plunger to allow loading of a replacement cartridge, a cartridge ejector means disposed within said body proxi
  • said plunger retaining means includes an apertured member disposed in said body proximate the rear end of said side breech opening with the aperture of said member being in coaxial alignment with said plunger to receive said plunger slideably therethrough and with the inside wall of said aperture serving to restrain transverse translation of said plunger.
  • said apertured member is a hollow cylindrical plug
  • said cartridge stripping means includes an eccentric end portion of said plug which projects forwardly therefrom into a region of said body in the rear portion of said side breech opening, said forwardly projecting portion of said plug terminating in a forward stripping face to engage the rear end of the spent cartridge, said forward stripping face being disposed on the side of said plunger opposite to said side breech opening.
  • said forward end of said plug includes a second face portion intersecting said forward stripping face portion, and said second face portion being slanted rearwardly from the intersection thereof with said stripping face portion toward the rear end of said side breech opening.
  • said second face portion of said plug is a section of a cylindrical surface, said cylindrical surface being inwardly dished of said plug and having an axis of revolution disposed forwardly of said plug on the side of said plunger opposite from said stripping face, and said axis of revolution being directed generally perpendicular to a longitudinal midplane of said side breech opening which includes the longitudinal axis of said plunger.
