Remote treatment system

Abstract

A remote treatment system may include a cone assembly including a spine and a cone body at least partially surrounding the spine, a marking payload, a syringe coupled to a portion of the cone assembly and adapted to store a syringe payload for treating a target, and a vanes cup. The vanes cup may have an inner diameter sized to receive an outer diameter of the syringe. The vanes cup may also include stabilization means for stabilizing the remote treatment system. Further, a pressure means within the vanes cup may be configured to apply a pressure against the payload within the syringe. In response to an impact between the cone assembly and the target, the payloads are expressed from the remote treatment system.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A remote treatment system, comprising:
 a cone assembly including a spine and a cone body at least partially surrounding the spine;   a syringe coupled to a portion of the cone assembly and adapted to store a payload for treating a target;   a vanes cup having an inner diameter sized to receive an outer diameter of the syringe, the vanes cup including a stabilization means for stabilizing the remote treatment system; and   a pressure means at least partially disposed within the vanes cup, the pressure means being configured to apply a pressure against the payload within the syringe in response to an impact between the cone assembly and the target, such that the payload is expressed from the syringe.   
     
     
         2 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the cone body further comprises a nose portion supported by the spine, the nose portion configured to seal the cone assembly. 
     
     
         3 . The remote treatment system of  claim 2 , wherein the cone body further comprises a cylindrical wall adapted to carry a marking payload, the cylindrical wall being a thin material configured to rupture in response to the impact between the cone assembly and the target, thereby expelling the marking payload onto the target. 
     
     
         4 . The remote treatment system of  claim 3 , wherein the nose portion has a color selected based on the marking payload carried by the cone body. 
     
     
         5 . The remote treatment system of  claim 2 , wherein the cone assembly further comprises a spiral element surrounding the spine, the cone body surrounding the spiral element, and the spiral element configured to engage the nose portion. 
     
     
         6 . The remote treatment system of  claim 5 , further comprising a cannula in fluid communication with the syringe, the cannula at least partially surrounded by the spine and the spiral element, the cannula seated behind and grasped by the nose portion, wherein in response to the impact between the cone assembly and the target, the cannula is configured to pierce the nose portion of the cone assembly and express the payload from the syringe onto or into the target. 
     
     
         7 . The remote treatment system of  claim 6 , wherein the spiral element compresses and carries the nose portion away from the syringe in response to the impact between the cone assembly and the target. 
     
     
         8 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the syringe has a first end and a collar formed at the first end, wherein the collar mates with the cone assembly. 
     
     
         9 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the vanes cup is a frame and the stabilization means comprises a plurality of vanes formed on and extending outward from an outer surface of the frame. 
     
     
         10 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a piston movably disposed within the syringe and in communication with the pressure means, the pressure means configured to apply the pressure against the payload through the piston. 
     
     
         11 . The remote treatment system of  claim 10 , further comprising a groove formed in an outer surface of the piston and a sealing element disposed within the groove, the sealing element configured to provide a seal between the pressure means and the syringe and configured to force the payload away from the pressure means. 
     
     
         12 . The remote treatment system of  claim 10 , wherein the piston comprises one or more firing fingers, and wherein the syringe releasingly engages the one or more firing fingers to bias the pressure means away from applying the pressure against the payload. 
     
     
         13 . The remote treatment system of  claim 12 , wherein each of the one or more firing fingers comprises a tab having an inner groove to hold an expander ring disposed therein, wherein the expander ring biases the tabs beyond a diameter of the syringe to couple the tabs to an end of the syringe. 
     
     
         14 . The remote treatment system of  claim 13 , wherein in response to the impact between the cone assembly and the target, the syringe is configured to remove the tabs of the firing fingers, thereby releasing the piston, such that the pressure means can apply the pressure against the payload within the syringe and the payload is expressed from the syringe. 
     
     
         15 . The remote treatment system of  claim 10 , further comprising a bayonet coupled to the vanes cup. 
     
     
         16 . The remote treatment system of  claim 15 , wherein the bayonet further comprises a body, a bayonet rod movably disposed in the body, an anchor threadedly coupled to the body and coupled to a portion of the vanes cup, and a biasing element arranged within the body and configured to bias the bayonet rod away from the piston. 
     
     
         17 . The remote treatment system of  claim 16 , wherein the bayonet rod comprises a front end and a rear end, wherein the front end applies pressure against the piston in response to the impact between the cone assembly and the target, and the rear end comprises threads to threadedly couple the bayonet rod to a shaft. 
     
     
         18 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a wad coupled to the vanes cup, the wad comprising a plurality of compression legs and an outer surface adapted to contact an inner surface of a shell. 
     
     
         19 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a safety clip coupled to the vanes cup and engaged with the syringe to prevent the payload from being expressed. 
     
     
         20 . The remote treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the pressure means comprises at least one of a pressurized fluid and a spring.
