摘要:
An instrument of artificial insemination or embryo transfer by a transperitoneal and/or cervical route or for sampling follicular liquids in mammals especially horses, pigs, sheep, goats, deer and carnivores is of the type constituted by a syringe formed by a sheath in which slides in fluid-tight manner a piston movable in translation. The sheath is externally protected by a rigid cover and is immobilized in a manipulator sleeve comprising a rotary member adapted to actuate the piston. The anterior end of the sheath is fitted with a needle. The cover protecting the sheath is covered by and guides a palpator the length of which is greater than that of the cover but less than that of the sheath (including the needle). Thus the needle of the syringe is selectively covered or exposed in whole or in part by axial sliding movement of the cover.

This invention relates to closing an open end of a pailette containing a biological element. The invention includes heating a dose of thermo-plastic material to a flowable condition and injecting the dose into the cold open end of the paillettes so that the material adheres to the inner wall of the paillette and solidifies to form a stable plug closing the end. The thermo-plastic material is preferably in the form of solid sticks. A valve in closing apparatus opens and closes communication with a reservoir containing the thermo-plastic material under pressure and defines a pre-determined volume for the dose. The invention is especially applicable to the production of paillettes for use in artificial insemination.

A dispenser for dispensing and conveying capsules to a printer for receiving indicia comprises a sloping ramp and a complementary guide which define a conveying passageway having an inlet and an outlet. A vertically movable slide member is associated with the outlet and is movable between a first position wherein the slide member receives a capsule from the outlet of the conveying passageway and a second position wherein a portion of the slide member seals the outlet of the conveying passageway. The slide member when in its second position further defines with the complementary guide a horizontally extending passageway for conveying the capsule to the printer.

The invention discloses a multi-shot artificial insemination device and interchangeable and disposable reservoir tubes connectable thereto such that plural doses of liquid semen are sequentially discharged from one end of a tube by step-wise displacement of a plunger into another end of the tube. The apparatus is configured for easy, secure connection and support of a rear end of a reservoir tube to the device while a freely protruding front end of the reservoir is of sufficient length and shape for insertion into an animals cloaca for insemination thereof upon actuation of the device.

This device is of the type comprising a hollow cylindrical body for receiving at one end a semen reservoir-tube with which are associated means for maintaining the reservoir-tube on the body. Also provided in the body is a slidably mounted plunger-rod which projects from the end of the body opposed to the reservoir-tube. This plunger-rod is adapted to expel semen contained in the reservoir-tube, the plunger-rod cooperating with means for advancing the plunger-rod in a step-by-step manner and actuated by a periodic actuating means.The step-by-step advancing means comprise an advancing element which is provided with an aperture and is mounted with a small clearance on the plunger-rod. This element bears, by the side thereof opposed to the reservoir-tube, on one hand, against a fixed stop member located to one side of the plunger-rod and, on the other hand, against a member which constitutes the periodic actuating means and which is movable in translation in a direction parallel to the plunger-rod between a first position which is situated in confronting relation to the fixed stop member and a second position which is offset toward the reservoir-tube. Return means are provided for returning the actuating means to the first position thereof.
