Non-axial working end-of content mechanism and an injection device comprising the same

A pen-shaped injection device for delivering set doses of a liquid drug comprising:

• a torsion spring which is strained when setting a dose and released to drive a piston rod forward during dose expelling and the injection device further comprises a non-axial working End-of-Content (EoC) mechanism comprising:
• a first element having a first internal surface with a first internal diameter (D),
• an EoC element having a second external surface with a second external diameter (d) being smaller that the first internal diameter (D) and the EoC element is located inside the first internal diameter (D) of the first element,
• wherein the first element has a first centre axis (X), and the EoC element has a second centre axis (Y) not coaxial in relation to the first centre axis (X) and wherein the second external surface of the EoC element engages with the first internal surface of the first element,
• wherein the first element and the EoC element rotates relatively to each other in a gearing ratio,
• wherein stopping structure is provided for stopping the relative rotation of the first element and the EoC element in a predetermined position,
• whereby a dose size exceeding the remaining injectable content of liquid drug cannot be set,
• wherein the EoC element rotates on a cam provided on a third element during dose setting,
• wherein the third element carrying the cam is rotated to set a dose and the first element is kept inrotatable during dose setting, and
• wherein the EoC mechanism has no components operating in the axial direction when counting.
