Abstract

An injector such as a hypodermic syringe and the like is improved in that an amount of injection each time thereof is mechanically determined by a provision of a stopper means disconnectably attached to a plunger of the injector, which stopper means and the plunger are engaged with each other through a projection-recess engagement thereof, in which engagement the stopper means acts also as a wedge-like means inserted between the plunger and a barrel of the injector to make it possible that the stopper means abutting against a rear end of the barrel at a time when the injection operation is completed prevents the plunger from being advanced beyond it predetermined position, under the effect of its wedge action.
