Abstract
Disclosed is a portable continuous infusion apparatus for administering an injectable liquid to a patient. The apparatus expells the contents of a syringe on a time controlled basis. It employs two separate springs, with one spring used to power a clockwork and another spring to power a gear rack to advance the syringe plunger or piston. Opening and shutting the apparatus cover automatically winds both springs simultaneously. A safety prevents closing the cover unless the springs are wound. Advancement of the gear rack is adjustable by a control which acts on an escapement lever which regulates an escape wheel. The control moves the escapement lever axially so it can engage a different number of wings on the escape wheel, thereby regulating the incremental advance of the gear rack acting on the syringe plunger.
