Benefits of technology
The invention is a retractable needle applicator that only extends when the user is holding the handle and detects the presence of the animal, reducing accidental needle sticcks and making the applicator safer for the user. The needle is inserted automatically using a linear actuator, reducing the force required and the repetitive force and motion of injecting lots of animals is reduced for the user, which may alleviate problems with repetitive motion injuries.
Problems solved by technology
Because of the use of needles to administer medications, there is a possibility that the users could accidently stab themselves with the needle, or even inject the medication into themselves.
By injecting hundreds of animals, the user may be subject to repetitive motion injuries.
This may ameliorate problems with repetitive motion injuries and the like.

In selected embodiments, a handheld injection safety applicator includes an applicator housing with a handle and a retractable needle housed within the applicator. The applicator further includes a first sensor that detects the presence of a user's grip on the handle and a second sensor that detects the presence of an animal. The applicator also includes processing circuitry configured to receive a first signal from the first sensor indicating that the user is gripping the handle and receive a second signal from the second sensor indicating that an animal is detected. The applicator extends the needle out of the applicator into the animal once the first and second signal are received and delivers a dose of medication into the animal once the needle is fully extended into the animal.
Description
BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates to applicators, and in particular, but not exclusively, to applicators used to inject medications into animals, such as pigs, for example.[0003]1. Description of the Related Art[0004]Injections of medication are typically carried out using needle containing injectors or applicators. The term medication is used herein to include any drug, medicine, remedy, therapeutic preparation, vitamins, neutraceuticals, vaccines, antibodies, and the like. These types of applicators are frequently used with animals, especially livestock, because of the large number of animals that need to be injected. Because of the use of needles to administer medications, there is a possibility that the users could accidently stab themselves with the needle, or even inject the medication into themselves.[0005]Injections of medications for livestock can require the user to inject hundreds of animal in a single setting. Each injection re...
