    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for locking a dosing button in a device for the administration of a product to be injected in predetermined doses. This device comprises a body (1) with a housing (2) for the product, wherein a selected dose for injection is transported from said body out of a container (3) through a transport member (4). This device also comprises a drive member (5,7) for the transport member (4) as well as a dosing button (9) coupled to the drive member (5, 7) which is mounted so as to be capable of sliding within the body (1). The button ensures the transport of the selected dose when it is displaced from a first position into a second by actuating the drive member (5, 7). The dose is selected in the first position by rotating the dosing button (9) so that is can be moved from a first rotation position indicating that no transport is possible into a second rotation position.
