Abstract
An injection device has a housing (12) in which a container (14) for receiving an injectable fluid (18) is longitudinally movable. To its proximal end, an injection needle (26) can be releasably coupled. The injection device has a spring (50) associated with a releasable detent (52) for latching this spring (50) in a cocked configuration (FIG. 2). Further, there is a cocking member (40) insertable into the proximal end of the housing (12) for moving the longitudinally movable container (14) in the distal direction and for thereby bringing the spring (50) into the cocked configuration.
Claims1
An injection device for use with a needle carrier supporting an injection needle, the device comprising:
- a housing having a proximal end and a distal end;
- an injection mechanism movable, relative to said housing, between an uncocked configuration and a cocked configuration, and
- a cocking device adapted to be applied at the proximal end of the housing to place said injection mechanism in said cocked configuration;
- wherein placement into said cocked configuration is enabled, when a needle carrier has been inserted in said injection mechanism, and is disabled when a needle carrier is missing from said injection mechanism.
