Description
Short specification: Teat needle with protective end wall.
The invention relates to a teat needle for administering an injection medium into a teat canal in the udder of a milking animal such as a cow or goat.
A similar teat needle is known from BE-1005479, for example. The teat needle has a thin tapering shaft that slides into the teat canal of the udder. The length of the needle shaft is such that when it is fully inserted into the teat canal, a medicine or salve can be injected directly into the udder. The teat needle is connected to a container that is filled with a specific quantity of the medicine or salve. The teat needle delimits a through flow canal with a forward facing discharge opening.
The disadvantage of this is that ease of use and the animal-friendliness of the teat needle leaves to be desired. It may occur that when the needle shaft is inserted into the teat canal it meets a certain resistance. It may also be the case that the teat canal can suffer injury when the needle shaft is inserted. This happens especially if during manufacture membranes or burrs are left on the needle shaft on, for example, the discharge opening. There is a risk that these membranes or burrs will cut into the flesh internally. Wounds of this sort are painful for the animal and can lead to serious infection and to contamination of the milk that is withdrawn from the teat after treatment with the teat needle. Wounds of this sort also lead to financial loss for the farmer. In addition the discharge opening may get blocked during insertion into the teat canal. The needle shaft with its forward facing discharge opening scrapes free, as it were, all types of material that it encounters on the wall of the teat canal, and the material attempts to find a way into the interior of the flow canal via the discharge opening.
In addition a teat needle is known from GB-914,131. This teat needle is designed for applying antibiotics to an infected and damaged teat canal, and if required can remain in the teat canal if this is deemed necessary for healing. In this case the needle shaft has both a forward facing discharge opening and a lateral facing discharge opening. Although the lateral facing discharge opening reduces the problem of blockage, the forward facing discharge opening still has the above-mentioned disadvantages.
The aim of the invention described below is to remove at least partially the above- mentioned disadvantages or to provide a usable alternative. In particular the aim of the invention is to create a user-friendly teat needle that is relatively cheap and simple to manufacture and which does not easily lead to wounding of the teat canal.
This aim is achieved by a teat needle in accordance with claim 1. In this case the teat needle comprises an elongated needle shaft with a distal end piece that slides into the teat
canal. Through the needle shaft in axial direction a flow canal extends, which in the distal end piece connects to one or rriore laterally placed discharge openings. A protective end wall is provided which at least partially closes off the flow canal in the forward direction. This protective end wall is located here in the extension of the flow canal and thereby at least partially covers the distal end of the flow canal in the axial direction. This has the advantage that a teat needle is obtained that can be manufactured with a protective end wall that connects to the needle shaft via gradual transition. Advantageously a punching or scraping action of the needle shaft can therefore be avoided. This diminishes the risk of blocking of the teat needle. In addition it simplifies the insertion of the needle shaft into the teat canal and prevents injury to the wall thereof.
The provision of the protective end wall in combination with one or more laterally positioned discharge openings makes it advantageously possible during manufacture of the needle shaft as an injection moulding product to work with connecting mould cores within the outer circumference of the needle shaft. In particular on the, for example, cylindrical or conical extending outer circumference wall of a mould core for the formation of the flow canal, one or more mould cores can be connected for the forming of the one or more outlet openings. As contact between the mould cores then takes place at the point of the transitions between the flow canal to be formed and the laterally placed discharge openings to be formed, any membranes or burrs that remain after manufacture then advantageously come to lie on these transitions over the wall thickness of the needle shaft within the outer circumference of the needle shaft. There the membranes and burrs cannot, or can hardly, lead to injury to the animal on insertion into its teat canal.
In a special embodiment the one or more laterally positioned discharge openings extend in an axial direction next to cut outs in the protective end wall. During injection the injection medium will not only be injected out of the needle shaft laterally, but also by being slightly directed forwards, flow into the teat. In addition, this design makes it possible for the above mentioned mould cores to approach each other in an axial direction, during positioning in a mould cavity corresponding to the needle shaft, until the intended end position is reached, in which the mould cores partially come to rest against each other laterally at the transition^) between the flow canals and the discharge opening(s).
In a preferred embodiment at least two, in particular three, discharge openings are distributed laterally around the circumference of the needle shaft. By providing these, moreover, symmetrically around the needle shaft, folding of the wall sections of the teat canal into the discharge openings towards the inside during insertion of the needle shaft can be prevented. This prevents that any membranes or burrs at the transitions of the flow canal to the discharge openings may still lead to injury.
In particular the protective end wall is integrally formed on the distal end section of the needle shaft. The needle shaft can be manufactured from various materials, such as metal or plastic. The needle shaft is preferably manufactured from plastic in an injection moulding process. If required the needle shaft can be assembled from various materials that can be prepared, for example, in a dual-component injection moulding process in one step.
Further preferred implementations are laid down in the sub-claims. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of the teat needle as well as the use of the teat needle.
The invention will be further explained using the attached drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic view in perspective of an embodiment of a syringe with teat needle in accordance with the invention before assembly; ,
Fig. 2 is a partially cut away view corresponding to figure 1 with a teat needle and break element incorporated into the syringe body; Fig. 3 is a view corresponding to figure 2 with a piston element mounted in the syringe body;
Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to figure 2 with broken nozzle sealing and fully depressed piston element;
Fig. 5 is a partial view at a larger scale of figure 4;
Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the assembly of teat needle with break element from figure 1; and
Fig. 7 is a partially exploded view of the teat needle in figure 6.
In figure 1 the entire syringe is given the reference numeral 1. The syringe 1 comprises a syringe body 2 with a cylindrical section 3 with an axial direction on which a distal end 3a and a proximal end 3b can be distinguished. In addition the syringe 1 comprises a piston element 5 with a piston rod 6 and a piston 7. The free end of the piston rod 6 ends in a thumb support 8 and also has a cylindrical wall section. The piston 7 is an integral part of the piston element 5 and is provided with two elastic defαrmable ring-shaped wall sections 11. The piston 7 is dimensioned in such a way that in an assembled state it presses with its wall sections 11 to form a seal against the internal circumference of the cylindrical part 3. In this respect the radial external dimensions of the piston 7 are basically the same as the radial internal dimensions of the cylindrical part 3.
As a further component preceding assembling, the syringe 1 comprises an integrally formed assembly of a teat needle 12 that is connected to a break element 14 by means of weakened wall sections 13 (see also figure 6 and 7). This assembly is designed to be broken during assembling, with the break element 14 and the teat needle 12 being connected successively in their respective end positions with the syringe body 2 (see figure 2).
After assembling the break element 14 is designed to serve as a piston seal together with compressible cams provided on the piston rod 6.
The teat needle 12 is destined to form a nozzle on the distal end 3a and must be inserted into the syringe body 2 from the proximal end 3b. At the location of the distal end 3a the teat needle 12 can be firmly attached to the syringe body 2. In the embodiment shown this occurs by means of a snap connection with complimentary inter-gripping wall sections, in particular, a tongue groove connection (see figure 2).
The teat needle 12 comprises an elongated needle shaft 20 that is implemented here as a conical tapering distal end piece. In the needle shaft 20 a conical tapering flow canal 21 extends in an axial direction. The flow canal 21 discharges into three laterally positioned discharge openings 22 cut-out in the shaft wall that are symmetrically positioned around the circumference.
According to the invention the tip of the teat needle 12 is provided with a protective end wall 24. The protective wall 24 lies in the prolongation of the flow canal 21 and fully covers in the axial direction. The protective wall 24 is integrally shaped with the needle shaft 20. The discharge openings 22 extend in the axial direction into cut-outs 26 positioned sideways of the protective wall 24. In this way there is formed as it were a cylindrical core section 27 that is connected to the rest of the needle shaft 20 by ribs 28.
Both the core section 27 and the ribs 28 of the protective wall 24 are constructed with a radius, by which a rounded tip is obtained.
The teat needle 12 is made from plastic, especially PE1 PP and/or TPE. If required parts of the teat needle 12, for example the needle shaft 20, the ribs 28 and the protective wall 24 with the respect to the rest of the teat needle 12 can be made from various materials that can be manufactured for example in a dual-component injection moulding process. On the distal end 3a of the syringe 2 a seal is provided of the nozzle formed by the teat needle 12. This nozzle seal 30 is here formed by a protective cap 31 that is formed integrally on the syringe body 2 by a weakened peripheral wall section 32. The protective cap 31 is manufactured in two parts with the two parts 31a and 31b being connected together by a weakened peripheral wall section 33. The makes it possible to remove only the foremost part 31a, or also the rearmost part 31b. This gives the user the possibility to free up a longer or shorter part of the needle shaft 20 of the teat needle 12 for insertion in a body part.
The protective cap 31 of the nozzle seal 30 is constructed in such a way that with its front part 31 it lies sealing against the needle shaft 20 of the teat needle 12. In addition the protective cap 31 and the teat needle 12 are dimensioned in such a way that in the assembled state a small chamber is created between the tip of the teat needle 12 and the protective cap 31. This has the advantage that a small quantity of injection medium can gather around the tip via the discharge openings 22 and/or the cut-outs 26, with the small
quantity of injection medium after removal of the protective cap 31 serving directly as a friction reducing lubricant during insertion of the teat needle in, for example, the udder of an animal. The protective cap 31 is designed with a basically cylindrical cavity or with a cavity that has a smaller cone angle than that of the needle shaft 20. This ensures that in the assembled state on the one hand a small chamber is formed around the tip while on the other hand a sealing takes place between the peripheral wall of the needle shaft 20 and the protective cap 31.
In addition to the embodiments shown many other variants are possible. This means that the various parts of the syringe can be given various forms and dimensions. Instead of the integrally formed nozzle seal at the distal end another type of tamper evident construction can also be applied to seal and/or close off the distal end in a reliable way. In this way it is also possible to form the teat needle integrally onto the syringe body or use a teat needle that can be connected from the outside with the distal end of the syringe. It is also possible to use the teat needle freely in combination with another type of syringe or supply unit. The discharge openings can also be provided at a lower level along the needle shaft and vary in number. The protective wall will then be able to spread over the entire tip.
Thus according to the invention a teat needle is provided that can be manufactured easily and cheaply and which lends itself very well to the introduction of an injection medium into the teat of an udder of a milking animal such as cow or goat, for example a salve with antibiotic qualities, or a curable medium that can seal the teat temporarily.
