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 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 attachment element includes a second link motion portion. One of the link motion portions is a projection, and the other is a guiding groove. As the projection moves in the guiding groove, the hollow needle of the penetration element moves towards the container bottom and penetrates the closure element. The penetration element moves inside the attachment element towards the container bottom based on how the projection travels in the guiding groove. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-48. (canceled) ### Claim 49 A delivery system for delivering medical and pharmaceutical compounds, comprising: a container unit that includes a container and a closure element, wherein the container is adapted to contain the compounds, wherein the container has a cylindrical wall, a first end that is closed by a container bottom and a second end that is open, wherein the container unit has a longitudinal axis, and wherein the closure element is disposed within the container and makes a fluid-tight contact with the cylindrical wall; and an extraction unit that includes a penetration element and a hollow needle adapted to penetrate the closure element, wherein the extraction unit moves relative to the container along the longitudinal axis towards the container bottom, wherein the extraction unit includes a first link motion portion, and the container unit includes a second link motion portion, wherein one of the first link motion portion or the second link motion portion is provided with a projection and the other of the first link motion portion or the second link motion portion is provided with a guiding groove, and wherein the projection engages the guiding groove and guides the extraction unit to move relative to the container towards the container bottom so that the hollow needle penetrates the closure element at the longitudinal axis. ### Claim 50 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the first link motion portion is disposed on the penetration element. ### Claim 51 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the first link motion portion fits into the second link motion portion. ### Claim 52 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the container unit includes an attachment element attached to a rim portion of the container, wherein the rim portion forms the second end of the container, and wherein the second link motion portion is disposed on the attachment element. ### Claim 53 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the penetration element extends through a through hole in the attachment element. ### Claim 54 (depends on 52) The delivery system of claim 52, wherein the container has a flange extending along the second end, and wherein the attachment element has a groove adapted to accommodate the flange. ### Claim 55 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the extraction unit includes a grip portion connected to the penetration element. ### Claim 56 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the extraction unit has a delivery end that is formed as a part of a Luer lock connector. ### Claim 57 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein a cannula extends from a delivery end of the extraction unit. ### Claim 58 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, 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 59 (depends on 49) The delivery system of claim 49, wherein the closure element has a bottom surface with a blind hole. ### Claim 60 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, 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; an attachment element attached to a rim portion of the container, wherein the rim portion forms the second end of the container, and wherein the attachment element has a guiding groove; and a penetration element that includes a hollow needle adapted to penetrate the closure element, wherein a projection is disposed on the penetration element, and wherein the projection engages the guiding groove and guides the penetration element to move relative to the container towards the container bottom so that the hollow needle penetrates the closure element at the longitudinal axis. ### Claim 61 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the penetration element fits into the attachment element. ### Claim 62 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the container has a flange extending along the second end, and wherein the attachment element has a groove adapted to accommodate the flange. ### Claim 63 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the guiding groove has a spiral portion and a straight portion, and wherein the straight portion runs parallel to the central longitudinal axis. ### Claim 64 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the penetration element includes a grip portion. ### Claim 65 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the penetration element has a delivery end that is formed as a part of a Luer lock connector. ### Claim 66 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein a cannula extends from a delivery end of the penetration element. ### Claim 67 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, 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 68 (depends on 60) The delivery system of claim 60, wherein the closure element has a bottom surface with a blind hole.
