The container contains the compounds and has a closed container bottom and an open second end. The closure element makes fluid-tight contact with the inner wall of the container. The supporting element attaches to the closure element. The penetration element has a hollow needle and moves along the longitudinal axis of the container. The penetration element includes a first link motion portion, and the supporting element includes a second link motion portion. The first link motion portion has a guiding groove, and the second link motion portion has a projection. The hollow needle of the penetration element moves towards the container bottom and penetrates the closure element. The penetration element moves inside the supporting element towards the container bottom based on how the projection travels in the guiding groove. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-51. (canceled) ### Claim 52 A delivery system for delivering medical and pharmaceutical compounds, comprising: a container adapted to contain the medical and pharmaceutical compounds, wherein the container has a circumferential wall, a first end closed by a container bottom and a second end that is open, and wherein the container unit has a longitudinal axis; a closure element disposed within the container in fluid-tight contact with the circumferential wall; a supporting element attached to the closure element; and a penetration element that has a hollow needle and moves relative to the supporting element along the longitudinal axis, wherein the penetration element includes a first link motion portion, wherein the supporting element includes a second link motion portion, wherein a projection is disposed on one of the first link motion portion or the second link motion portion, wherein the other of the first link motion portion or the second link motion portion has a guiding groove, wherein the hollow needle of the penetration element is adapted to move towards the container bottom and to penetrate the closure element, and wherein the penetration element moves relative to the supporting element towards the container bottom based on how the projection travels in the guiding groove. ### Claim 53 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the penetration element is disposed within and longitudinally guided by the supporting element. ### Claim 54 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the first link motion portion fits into the second link motion portion. ### Claim 55 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the container has a rim portion at the second end, wherein an attachment element is fitted onto the container over the rim portion, and wherein the attachment element surrounds and slides along the supporting element. ### Claim 56 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the supporting element longitudinally guides the penetration element into the closure element. ### Claim 57 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, further comprising: a mounting element connected to the supporting element, wherein the mounting element engages a rim portion of the container at the second end of the container. ### Claim 58 (depends on 57) The delivery system of claim 57, wherein the mounting element includes a finger flange. ### Claim 59 (depends on 57) The delivery system of claim 57, wherein the mounting element longitudinally centers the penetration element relative to the container. ### Claim 60 (depends on 57) The delivery system of claim 57, wherein the mounting element is deformable and snaps over the attachment element to allow the attachment element to slide inside the mounting element. ### Claim 61 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the penetration element has a delivery end opposite the closure element, and wherein a spray valve is disposed at the delivery end. ### Claim 62 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the penetration element has a delivery end opposite the closure element, and wherein the delivery end is formed as a cannula. ### Claim 63 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the closure element has a bottom surface with a first shape, wherein the container bottom has a second shape, and wherein the first shape and the second shape are complementary. ### Claim 64 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the closure element has a bottom surface with a blind hole. ### Claim 65 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, further comprising: a compression spring disposed between the penetration element and the closure element. ### Claim 66 A device, comprising: a container adapted to contain a liquid, wherein the container has a cylindrical wall, a first end closed by a container bottom and a second end that is open, and wherein the container unit has a central longitudinal axis; a closure element disposed inside the container that makes fluid-tight contact with the cylindrical wall; a supporting element attached to the closure element; and a penetration element that has a hollow needle and that moves relative to the supporting element along the central longitudinal axis, wherein a projection is disposed on the supporting element, wherein the penetration element has a guiding groove, wherein the hollow needle of the penetration element is adapted to move towards the container bottom and to penetrate the closure element, and wherein the penetration element moves relative to the supporting element towards the container bottom based on how the projection is guided in the guiding groove. ### Claim 67 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the supporting element longitudinally guides the penetration element into the closure element. ### Claim 68 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, further comprising: a mounting element connected to the supporting element, wherein the mounting element includes a finger flange, and wherein the mounting element engages the container at the second end of the container. ### Claim 69 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the penetration element has a cannula opposite the hollow needle. ### Claim 70 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the closure element has a bottom surface with a blind hole. ### Claim 71 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, further comprising: a compression spring disposed between the penetration element and the closure element.
