Drive module for a device for the local piercing of a human or animal skin and a handheld

Abstract

The invention relates to a drive module for a device for the local piercing of a human or an animal skin, with a drive apparatus which is configured for the purpose of producing a drive rotary movement and a conversion mechanism coupled to the drive apparatus which is configured for the purpose of converting the drive movement into a coupling-connectable forward/backward movement for a needle apparatus piercing the skin locally, and which comprises a free-running functional member, wherein the functional member is coupled to a magnetic anti-turn locking element allowing a wobble or tilting movement of the functional member where, with the said anti-turn locking element, a magnetic retaining force is provided which acts against a turning of the functional member. Furthermore, the invention relates to a handheld with a drive module and a processing module in which a needle apparatus having a needle is formed and which is configured for the purpose of converting the forward/backward movement provided by the drive module into a piercing movement.
