- the holding element (9) is positioned on or in the housing (6) in the proximal direction and supported on or in the carpule in the distal direction.
- the holding element (9), in particular the clamping element (9b) of the holding element (9) exerts a frictional force acting in the axial direction on the housing (6) for fastening the carpule (10) on or in the carpule holder (8), the in axial direction acting frictional force of the holding element (9), in particular the clamping element (9b) of the holding element (9) acts against the distally acting force of the holding element (9), in particular the spring element (9a) of the holding element (9).
- the frictional force of the holding element (9), in particular the clamping element (9b) of the holding element (9), acting in the axial direction, serves to form a non-positive connection between the holding element (9) and the housing (6).
- the force acting in the distal direction is particularly preferably at least partially, preferably completely, compensated for by the frictional force acting in the axial direction.
- the patient can use the injection device according to the invention to administer a fluid product, with the dosing sleeve (4) being in an initial position.
- the dosing sleeve (4) which is axially movable and non-rotatably mounted in the housing (6), is pushed into the injection device, with the display (4d) attached to the dosing sleeve (4) being visible through the housing window (6d) and showing the user that the injection device is in the initial position.
- the dosing sleeve (4) is above the Metering sleeve thread (4b) in threaded engagement with the rotary sleeve thread (2b) of the rotary sleeve (2).
- a radially outwardly projecting projection (not visible) of the rotary sleeve (2) is in stop contact, in particular in rotational stop contact, with a first radially inwardly projecting projection (not visible) on the guide sleeve (1).
- a head (not visible) attached to the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) engages with the toothing of the threaded rod (3).
- the head (not visible) of the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) engages between two adjacent teeth (3a) in a tooth gap (not visible) on the threaded rod (3), namely between a steep flank (not visible) of a tooth ( 3a) and a flat flank (not visible) of an adjacent tooth (3a) of the threaded rod (3).
- a head (not visible) provided on the engagement element (1a) of the guide sleeve (1) is also in engagement with the toothing of the threaded rod (3).
- the head (not visible) of the engagement element (1a) of the guide sleeve (1) also engages between two adjacent teeth (3a) in a tooth gap (not visible) on the threaded rod (3).
- the head (not visible) of the engagement element (1a) of the guide sleeve is located between a steep flank (not visible) of a tooth (3a) and a flat flank (not visible) of an adjacent tooth (3a) of the threaded rod (3).
- the user pulls the dose knob (4c) proximally.
- the dosing sleeve (4) is pushed axially in the proximal direction. Due to the threaded engagement between the dosing sleeve (4) and the rotary sleeve (2), the rotary sleeve (2) rotates in the first direction of rotation until the projection (not visible) of the rotary sleeve (2) comes into abutting contact with a second radially inwardly projecting projection (not visible) of the guide sleeve (1) is in stop contact.
- the flat flank (not visible) of the head (not visible) of the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) slides over the flat flank (3a') of the tooth (3a) of the threaded rod (3) and reaches an adjacent tooth gap (not apparent).
- the steep flank (not visible) of the head (not visible) of the engagement element (1a) of the guide sleeve (1) is in abutting contact with the steep flank (not visible) of the tooth (3a) of the threaded rod (3), so that the threaded rod ( 3) is held against rotation.
- the indicator (4d) attached to the dosing sleeve (4) shows the user through the housing window (6d) that the injection device is in the drawn position.
- the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) When setting or when drawing a dose, the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) is deflected radially.
- the counter-coupling toothing (2e) of the rotating sleeve (2) engages with the coupling toothing (11c) of the locking ring (11).
- the coupling between the rotary sleeve (2) and the locking ring (11) turns the locking ring (11) and the rotary sleeve (2) in the first direction of rotation relative to the housing (6) or the guide sleeve (1).
- the ratchet tooth (11a) of the locking ring (11) slides over the ratchet teeth (not visible) of the guide sleeve (1).
- the ratchet tooth (11a) of the locking ring (11) can only slide in the first direction of rotation relative to the guide sleeve (1) via the ratchet teeth (1 g) of the guide sleeve (1), while a relative rotation in the second direction of rotation is prevented.
- the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) is deflected radially until the head (not visible) of the engagement element reaches the tooth gap (not visible) of the threaded rod (3), or until a specified dose has been fully set or wound up. It can thus be prevented that an incompletely set or drawn-up dose can be poured out.
- the opening movement of the dosing sleeve (4) and the pouring movement of the threaded rod (3) are translated.
- the thread pitch of the threaded connection (4b, 2b) between the dosing sleeve (4) and the rotating sleeve (2) is greater than the thread pitch of the threaded connection (3b, 6i) between the threaded rod (3) and the housing (6).
- the user presses the dispensing button (5) in the distal direction, with the dosing sleeve (4) being axially displaced in the distal direction.
- the rotary sleeve (2) rotates in the opposite direction of rotation to the first direction of rotation, namely in the second direction of rotation, until the projection (not visible) of the rotary sleeve (2) makes abutting contact with the first radially inwardly projecting projection (not visible) on the guide sleeve (1). came into contact.
- the steep flank (not visible) of the head (not visible) of the engagement element (2a) of the rotary sleeve (2) is in abutting contact with the steep flank (not visible) of the tooth (3a) of the threaded rod (3) and transmits a torque to the threaded rod (3).
- the threaded rod (3) is thereby screwed in the distal direction due to the threaded connection between the internal thread (6i) of the housing (6) and the external thread (3b) of the threaded rod (3).
- the head (not visible) of the engagement element (2a) of the rotating sleeve (2) slides axially along the tooth gap (not visible) of the threaded rod (3).
- the coupling teeth (11c) of the locking ring (11) are disengaged from the counter-coupling teeth (2e) of the rotary sleeve (2), so that the rotary sleeve (2) can rotate in the second direction of rotation relative to the locking ring (11).
- the ratchet tooth (11c) of the locking ring (11) protrudes into the ratchet teeth (1g) of the guide sleeve (1).
- the flat flank of the head (not visible) of the guide sleeve (1) slides over the flat flank of the tooth (not visible) on the threaded rod.
- the stopper (10b, for example in FIG. 4a) can press out the fluid product via an injection needle (not visible) attached to the carpoule holder.
