Abstract
A device for the implementation of pellets containing medication in animals comprises a housing in the shape of a pistol with a handle, a hollow needle for injecting the body of the animal arranged at the front side of the housing and a push rod adapted to being slid into the hollow needle and supported by the housing so as to be longitudinally displaceable. A shaft is also provided in the housing before the hollow needle for a magazine holding pellets which is displaceable therein. A longitudinally displaceable press-back device is arranged in the housing parallel to the push rod and hollow needle. A drawing mechanism is included in the housing for moving the push rod and press-back device. The mechanism is able to be set in motion by an operating lever fastened at the handle via a toothed segment coupled with the operating lever and via a toothed wheel engaging with the operating lever. The driving mechanism has a continuous toothed belt which is guided along a predetermined region of its length parallel to the push rod between two deflecting rollers and via a toothed belt pulley. The pulley is connected coaxially with the toothed wheel. The continuous toothed belt has a clamping part in the region extending parallel to the push rod. The clamping part is fastened to an end of the push rod located opposite the end of the push rod associated with the hollow needle.
