Abstract: A drug delivery device (1, 200) comprising a drug delivery unit (10, 210) comprising a housing (12, 212) extending along a general axis, a variable volume reservoir (40?, 40, 140, 240), and a needle support (50?, 50, 150, 250) for receiving a needle assembly (30?, 30, 130, 230), the needle support (50?, 50, 150, 250) and the variable volume reservoir (40?, 40, 140, 240) being capable of diverging relative axial motion from a first relative position to a second relative position and converging relative axial motion from the second relative position to the first relative position, a cap (20, 120, 220) removably mountable onto the drug delivery unit (10, 210) to cover at least a portion of the needle support (50?, 50, 150, 250), and a coupling mechanism configured to bring the needle support (50?, 50, 150, 250) and the variable volume reservoir (40?, 40, 140, 240) from the first relative position to the second relative position in response to the cap (20, 120, 220) being mounted onto the drug delivery unit (10,
