Abstract A needleless hypodermic injector has a first sub- stantially cylindrical section and a second substantially cylindrical section movably mounted in a first end of the first section. The first section comprises a hollow cylinder defining a chamber for a substance to be administered, the chamber having therein an externally communicating orifice at a second end of the first sec- tion and a piston slidably mounted in the hollow cylinder. The second section comprises spring means in the form of a coil spring and a plurality of disc springs arranged in an axial row for driving the piston in the first section from a retracted position in which the hollow cylinder contains the substance to be administered to an extended position in which the substance is substantially com- pletely discharged through the orifice from the chamber. A bushing is slidably mounted between the piston and the spring means and is capable of engaging the piston as it travels from the retracted position to the extended posi- tion. Latch means are also provided for locking the bushing and thereby the compressed spring means in the retracted position. With the above arrangement, when the latch means is released from the bushing, the compressed spring means rapidly impacts the bushing against the piston to provide a first t high skin piercing pressure to the substance to be discharged through the orifice and thereafter moves the piston to the extended position at a second, lower discharge pressure. The coil spring remains under substantial compression at the extended position and sufficient disc springs are present to ab- sorb recall energy caused by the piston bushing suddenly reaching the extended position.
