Abstract: When the injection device is applied to a patient's skin and a plunger is pressed, the entire syringe and a carrier move forwards in relation to a barrel such that ribs on the carrier snap past a rib on a shroud. The syringe is arrested by flanges coming up against the rib, and a spring is compressed and a needle is fully projected. Further pressing on the plunger ejects the dose. The needle shroud is kept at the rearward position by its firm engagement around the injection area. On withdrawal of the device, the shroud is pushed forwards by the spring to protect the needle. This draws fingers through gaps in the ribs, the fingers being forced to bend towards the fingers as the divergence takes effect.

Abstract: A filling device for connecting a dispensing instrument having multiple fluid reservoirs to multiple containers is disclosed. More particularly, the present invention discloses a connecting device capable of coupling the individual reservoirs of a dispensing instrument to multiple fluid containers. The apparatus includes a body, a collar extending from the body, a plurality of tubes in fluid communication with a plurality of inlet ports formed in the body, and a hood adapted to simultaneously receive a plurality of containers therein. The containers are positioned within the hood to allow the plurality of tubes to simultaneously and separately draw fluid from the fluid containers and transferring the material into the individual reservoirs of the dispensing instrument.
