Abstract

An injector for squeezing liquid from a medical syringe is disclosed. On a housing (10), a first holder is (11) fastened. A first end of a syringe cylinder is joined to the first holder (11). The syringe piston (15) is joined to a second holder (13). The second holder (13) is fastened to a slide (12) which is displaceable relative to the housing (10). The drive of the slide (12) is effected by way of a pipe (26) and a ball gear (27, 28) on a spindle (28). The end of the spindle (28) is connected with the slide (12) through a free-wheeling mechanism. The spindle (28) can be rotated by hand with a rotary button (30). When the free-wheeling mechanism is released, the slide (12) can be pulled linearly into a desired position. The ball gear drive mechanism (27, 28) ensures that when the motor is turned on, the slide (12) is driven at once without first requiring an engagement of a tooth system or a screwthread.
